Channel Fader The channel fader is used to control the output level of each correspond-
ing channel.
By adjusting the faders, you can set the desired mix (balance) between
different devices connected to the Mixer.

Channel Label Each channel in the mixer that has a device connected to it, displays a
read-only label with the name of the device to the left of the fader.
N/A
Channel Meter The meter is a graphical representation of the channel output level. If the
signal level pushes the meter into the range of the red area, try lowering
either the output level of the device connected to the channel, or the
channel fader itself, to avoid distortion.
N/A
Pan Control Use this control to set the left/right position of the channel in the stereo
field. [Command]/[Ctrl]-click the Pan knob to set Pan to the default “0”
(center position).

Mute (M) and
Solo (S) Buttons
Clicking a channel’s Mute button silences the output of that channel.
Click the button again to unmute the channel.
Clicking a channel’s Solo button silences all other mixer channels, so that
you only hear the soloed channel. Several channels can be soloed at the
same time, but if this is the case, note that soloed channels can’t be
muted with the Mute button. To mute one of several channels in solo
mode you simply “unsolo” it.
On/Off
EQ Treble and Bass controls The EQ Treble and Bass controls is used to cut or boost the higher and
lower frequencies of the signal, respectively. Click on the EQ button to
activate the EQ.
If you need more advanced EQ, you can always use a PEQ2 parametric
EQ as an insert effect for a device.
Note also the two EQ modes - see “About the EQ modes”.
Treble: +/- 24 dB at 12 kHz.
Bass: +/- 24 dB at 80 Hz.
Auxiliary (AUX) Effect Send 1-4 The four independent AUX Sends control the amount of channel signal
that is to be sent to other devices - typically effect processors. The effect
output is then normally returned to the Mixer via the AUX Return inputs
(see “The Auxiliary Return Section”) where it is mixed with the dry (non-
processed) signal. If you create an effect device when the Mixer is se-
lected, the effect is auto-routed to the first available Send/Return con-
nectors. You can then control the amount of effect that is to be applied
to any device connected to a Mixer channel via the corresponding AUX
Send knob. The AUX Send outputs are taken post channel fader, but you
have the option of selecting Pre-fader mode for AUX Send 4 (by clicking
the “P” button next to the send so that it lights up). In that mode, the send
level is independent of the channel fader.
The sends are in stereo but can be used in mono as well.
