sense of transparency or edge to keyboard, vocals, and guitar.
5. MID EQ
Mid range EQ control for up to 12 dB of boost or cut centered
at 2.5KHz. Midrange EQ is often thought of as the most
dynamics because the frequencies that define any particular
sound are almost always found in this range. You can create
useful EQ changes by using this knob to adjust sound.

amounts of signal are sent to the left and right or G1 & G2 busses.
9. CHANNEL FADER
Adjust the volume of the sound input from the microphone or
other sources connected to each channel. It works together
with the maser fader. Normal operating position is at the “0” mark,
providing 4dB gain above that point if required.

This switch enable users to monitor the channel’s pre-fader signal.
Press “SOLO“ on master panel and press “SOLO” in this section,
then the channel’s pre-fader unprocessed signal will be sent to
