3. CONTROL ELEMENTS
SPOTLIGHT
If you turn this control up, you will boost all the frequencies above 12kHz ( shelving
filter ). You will add transparency to vocals and guitar and also make cymbals
crispier. Turn the control down to cut all frequencies above 12kHz. In such way
you can reduce sibilances of human voice or reduce the hiss of a Tape player.
The AUX2 control is configured as POST-FADER, so the audio signal will be affected
by channel LEVEL control and sent to the resident digital multi-effect. Via the AUX2
OUT jack, the AUX2 signal can be sent to an external effects device, and in such
case the resident digital multi-effects will be automatically disconnected.
Your PBM8 has two auxiliary sends which can be used for sending signals to
external or internal effects devices or for creating a monitor mix. They are used
to adjust the level of respective channel signal sent to AUX bus, and the adjustable
range goes from - to +10 dB. The AUX1 control is configured as PRE-FADER,
which means that the signal is sent out before reaching the channel fader. It is
used to feed stage monitors in a live situation, or for a headphone mix in recording
application.
You have three EQ controls for each mono and stereo input channel each providing
+/-15dB of boost and cut. The signal will be unaffected when the controls on the
center position. You may use an external equalizer to make up a mix properly but
a master equalizer will not have effect on a single channel and you may overload
the signal easily. Individual EQ will give you a much better control on single tracks.
4. CONTROL ELEMENTS
EQUALIZATION
This is a peaking filter and it will boost/cuts frequencies with their center at
2.5kHz. This control will affect especially upper male and lower female vocal
ranges and also the harmonics of most musical instruments.
If you turn this control up you will boost all frequencies below 80Hz. You will

80Hz. In this way you can avoid low-frequency vibrations and resonance thus
preserving the life of your woofers.

Pressing this button will attenuate the input signal by 20dB. In such way you
can produce increased headroom and reduce the risk of distortion because of
level peaks at input level when the input signal is quite hot.
