FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
1. MIC Use this balanced XLR jack to connect a microphone to the mixer.
The phantom power required for condenser mics con be activated with the PHANTOM switch
2. Channels 1 feature an additional LINE input on a balanced 1/4” jack.
3. Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counter clock
whenever you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs.
4. In addition, the mono channels are equipped with a steep LOW-CUT filter (slope at 18 dB/oct, -3 dB
at 75 Hz) designed to eliminate unwanted low-frequency signal components.
5. 6. 7. The upper (HIGH) and the lower band (LOW) are shelving filters that increase or decrease all
frequencies above or below their cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequencies of the upper and lower band
are 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively. The MID band is configured as a peak filter with a center Frequency
of 2.5 kHz.
8. EFF sends enable you to feed signals via a variable control from one or more channels and sum these
signals to a bus. The bus appears at the console’s EFF sent output and can be fed from there to an ex-
ternal effects device. The return from the effects unit is then brought back into the console on the stereo
channels. Each EFF send is mono and features up to +10 dB gain.
9. The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo image. This control
features a constant-power characteristic, which means the signal is always maintained at a constant
Level, irrespective of position in the stereo panorama.
10. The PK LEDs of the mono channels illuminate when the input signal is driven too high, which could
cause distortion. If this happens, use the GAIN control to reduce the preamp level until the LED does not
light anymore.
11. The LEVEL control determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix.
12. 13. LINE IN Each stereo channel has two balanced line level inputs on 1/4” jacks for left (L/MONO)
and right (R) channels. If you use only the (L/MONO) jack, same sound is output from both Left and right
speakers.
14. 15. 7/8AUX RET the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors are used to bring the output of the external
effects device (whose input is derived from the aux sends) back into the console. You can instead use
these connectors as additional inputs, but any effects device will then have to be brought back into the
console via a normal stereo channel. This does, however, give you the ability to use the channel EQ on
the effects return signal if you wish.

16. The EFF SEND control adjusts the volume level of the EFF signal provided at connector EFF SEND.
17. REC OUT These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix signal
(unbalanced). Connect the 2-TRACK OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording device. The output level is
adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader or rotary control.
18. 2TK RET The 2-TRACK INPUTS are used to bring an external signal source (e.g., CD player, tape
deck, Etc.) into the console.
19. USB Jack
Play/Pause switch. Long press this key until the indicator flashes. Then turn on the phone Bluetooth,
search until the phone shows the Bluetooth link of the mixer, join the link until the connection is success-
ful.
Vol+/Next Press once to key is play song skip to next song. Press and hold it volume up.
Vol-/Prev Press once to key is play song skip to previous song. Press and hold it volume down.
20. 24. The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced and balanced jacks. The main mix signal appears
here at a Level of 0dBu. The MAIN MIX fader adjusts the volume of these outputs.
21. 23. The unbalanced CTRL ROOM OUT jacks carry the summed effects and main mix signals, as well
as all channel signals.
The PHONES/CTRL RM control adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor Outputs.
22. Use the PHONES jack to connect a commercially available pair of headphones.
25. The red +48V LED lights up when phantom power is on. The PHANTOM switch activates the phan-
tom power supply on the XLR connectors of all mono channels.
26. When the 2TK TO MIX switch is depressed, the 2-track input is assigned to the main mix providing
an additional input for tape machines, MIDI instruments or other signal sources that do not require any
Processing.
27. Level indicator The high-precision 4-segment display accurately displays the relevant signal level.
28. Press the 2TK TO CTRL RM switch if you want to monitor the 2-track input via the CTRL ROOM
OUT. This provides an easy way to monitor signals coming back from tape to ensure that they are re-
cording correctly.
29. The PHONES/CTRL RM control adjusts the level of both headphones and CTRL RM outputs.
