The MIC control gives continuous adjustment of the input
gain from + 15dB to + 70dB.
The PHASE switch activates a 180 degrees phase change e
inputs signal.
The METER monitors the
peak signal level of the
channel. By default this is
post output level & pan
control. It may be internaly
selected to be pre level, pan,
& insert.
The 48V switch connects 48 volt phantom power to the input
suitable for a condenser microphone or DI box.
The LINE/PAD switch gives 25dB of attenuation to the input signal and will allow the connection of
high output microphones or line level signals. If the mic amp is transformer coupled ( option ) the pad
greatly reduces the risk of saturation at very low frequencies.
The PAN control (outer knob)
places the input channel within
a stereo mix of the left/right
outputs and has a constant
power law i.e. - 3dB at the
centre position. This function is
only active when the PAN
switch is selected.
The INS switch connects the input insert
return signal to the input channel pre or
post equaliser, (internaly selectable. The
default is pre ).
The MUTE switch mutes the channel. When using the
link input, this may be internaly jumpered to be pre or
post mute. The default is pre. The MUTE may also be
controled via the automute link which is selected with
rear panel dip switches.

The LEVEL control (inner knob) controls the output level of the channel.The link input may be pre
(default) or post this control.
The ON switch enables mains power to
the unit. With led indicator.

The TREBLE ( dual
concentric top ) control gives
continuous adjustment of
boost and cut from + 15dB to
- 15dB with a 0dB centre
detent.
The treble WIDTH ( dual
concentric bottom ) control
gives continuous adjustment
of bandwidth from 0.1 to 2
octaves with a 0.5 octave
centre detent. This only
operates when the BELL
switch is activated.
The treble FREQ control
gives continuous adjustment
of the frequency range that the
treble equaliser acts on from
1K to 20K.
The treble BELL switch
converts the treble equaliser
from traditional MIDAS
shelving response to full
parametric operation.
The HI-MID & LO-MID (
dual concentric top ) control
gives continuous adjustment
of boost and cut from + 15dB
to - 15dB with a 0dB centre
detent.
The hi- mid & lo-mid WIDTH
( dual concentric bottom )
control gives continuous
adjustment of bandwidth from
0.1 to 2 octaves with a 0.5
octave centre detent.
The hi mid FREQ control
gives continuous adjustment
of the frequency range that the
hi mid equaliser acts on from
400Hz to 8K.
The EQ switch connects the
equaliser in the input channel
signal path and is under
automation control.
The lo mid FREQ control
gives continuous adjustment
of the frequency range that the
lo mid equaliser acts on from
100Hz to 2K.
The BASS ( dual concentric
top ) control gives continuous
adjustment of boost and cut
from + 15dB to - 15dB with a
0dB centre detent.
The bass WIDTH ( dual
concentric bottom ) control
gives continuous adjustment
of bandwidth from 0.1 to 2
octaves with a 0.5 octave
centre detent. This only
operates when the BELL
switch is activated.
The bass FREQ control gives
continuous adjustment of the
frequency range that the bass
equaliser acts on from 20Hz
to 400Hz.
The bass BELL switch
converts the bass equaliser
from traditional MIDAS
shelving response to full
parametric operation.
The LO-CUT filter control is
continuously adjustable from
20Hz to 400Hz.
The LO-CUT switch enables
the lo-cut filter.
