Level Meter A 10-segment meter shows input level for input
channels, and output level for output channels. Clipping at vari-
ous points in the channel signal path is also indicated when the
top most LED lights red. The metering points for input and output
channels are selectable.
Assignable Channel Encoders
Each channel strip features one assignable channel encoder for
control of parameters such as input gain, Aux send levels, and
pan/balance/width. Channel encoders are assigned functions us-
ing the Channel Encoder Assignment switches.
Rotary and Switch Functions
Channel encoders are dual-function controls that provide rotary
and switch functions. Each channel encoder has a corresponding
select (
Sel) switch and In switch. The function of the channel en-
coder and its corresponding switches depends on the parameter
assigned to the encoder.
Channel Displays
The channel display shows information for the currently banked
channel such as the channel number and/or name, the parameter
that is currently assigned to the channel encoder, and other useful
information depending on the type of channel banked and the pa-
rameter currently assigned to channel control.
Level/Pan Indicator
When a parameter is assigned to an encoder, an indicator in the
display shows the relative setting of that control. When a corre-
sponding encoder is touched and/or adjusted, the display shows a
numerical parameter value.
Channel Encoder Assignment Switches
The Channel Encoder Assignment switches assign channel pa-
rameters to the channel encoders.
The text on the switches correspond to the parameters that can be
assigned to the channel encoders, as follows:
Gain This switch assigns control of input gain to the channel en-
coders. Head amp gain is available for analog inputs, and digital
gain is available for digital or line inputs. Gain level is indicated
in the channel display level indicator.
 The channel encoder In switch toggles the Pad (-20 dB) for
that channel on/off. The switch is lit when the Pad is on.
HPF This switch assigns control of the High Pass Filter (HPF)
corner frequency to the channel encoders. HPF corner frequency
is indicated in the channel display
 The channel encoder In switch toggles the built-in HPF for that
channel in/out. The switch is lit when the HPF is in.
Comp This switch assigns threshold control for the built-in Com-
pressor/Limiter to the channel encoders. This control is available
for input and output channels.
 The channel encoder In switch toggles the Compressor/Lim-
iter for that channel in/out. The switch is lit when the Comp/Lim
is in.
Pan This switch assigns control of channel pan if the channel is
mono, or stereo channel balance if the channel is stereo, to the
channel encoders. This control is available for input channels and
Group busses.
 For stereo channels, the channel encoder Sel switch assigns
width to the channel encoders.
