CH4

Controls

CH4

is

a

mono

input

channel

dedicated

to

monitoring

(-20

dBm).

The

signal

that

is

input

to

CH4

will

not

be

output

from

the

LINE

OUT

section,

but

will

be

output

only

from

the

inter-

nal

speaker

and

from

the

headphones.

This

is

a

very

convenient

way

to

provide

sound

that

is

meant

only

for

the

performer,

such

as

the

talkback

from

the

main

PA

console,

or

a

click

track

to

play

to

when

using

sequencer

accompaniment,

etc.

*

If

your

setup

does

not

use

line

outputs,

CH4

can

be

used

in

the

same

way

as

the

other

channels.

provided.

The

provides

a

The

provides

plenty

of

even

for

When
