Channel Fader The channel fader is used to control the output level of each corresponding 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 chan-
nel.
Clicking a channel’s Solo button silences all other mixer channels, so that you only hear the soloed channel. Sev-
eral 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, respec-
tively. 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 page 84.
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 - typi-
cally effect processors. The effect output is then normally returned to the Mixer via the AUX Return inputs (see
page 84) where it is mixed with the dry (non-processed) signal. If you create an effect device when the Mixer is
selected, the effect is auto-routed to the first available Send/Return connectors. 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 inde-
pendent of the channel fader.
The sends are in stereo but can be used in mono as well.
