10 Front and rear panel Front and rear panel Control panel ■ Channel control section 1 26 dB pad switch This switch attenuates the input signal by 26 dB. Attenuation is on when the switch is pressed inward. In this section, you can adjust equalization (frequency response), volume level, effect and AUX output levels for the input signal of each channel. 2 GAIN control 1 2 * Use this knob to adjust the sensitivity according to the input signal level, so that the input level is appropriate.
Control panel 5 AUX1, AUX2 controls / POST switches These knobs adjust the level at which the input signal will be sent to the AUX1 and 2 buses. Nominal level is when the knob is set to the “√” position. The position from which the signal is sent can be set by the POST switch to either prefader (before the channel fader C) or post-fader (after the channel fader C). When the switch is pressed inward, post-fader is selected.
12 Front and rear panel G PFL (pre-fader listen) switch When this switch is turned on, the signal at the point before the ST control knob F is sent to the PHONES jack (input/output panel D).
