Press this button will send its channels or buses to the control room outputs. It will illuminate as
has been pressed and enabled.
18. Solo clear button
Press this button to clear the solo function for all of the soloed buses or channels.
19. Solo Meter button
When the button is off, meters above it indicate input level of main, while
illuminated indicate input level of Solo.
20. PFL button
The default setting for the Solo bus is
After-Fader Listen (AFL); by pressing PFL,
Pre-Fader Listening is enabled. In either mode,
press Solo on any channel or bus to route that
channel to the Solo bus and has no effect on
the main.
21. Pan button
Press this button to select the Pan function,
then rotate Parameter Adjust encoder to
control signal level from left to right for the
selected input or output bus. If you have
adjusted a channel pan, please just touch 2
times on the screen and make it back to the
centre position.
The LCD display shows the setting in real time. If two channels have been linked as stereo pair,
the LCD display will automatically change to stereo pan.
22. Link button
Input channels, aux buses, can be linked as a stereo pair. It will illuminate if the stereo link button
has been pressed and enabled. The stereo pairs are predefined and cannot be changed. They are
as follows:
Channels 1 and 2 Channels 13 and 14
Channels 3 and 4 Channels 15 and 16
Channels 5 and 6 Aux 1 and Aux 2
Channels 7 and 8 Aux 3 and Aux 4
Channels 9 and 10 Aux 5 and Aux 6
Channels 11 and 12 Aux 7 and Aux 8
A stereo link can be enabled when either channel in the pair is selected by pressing the Link
button. When the Link button is illuminated which indicates the Stereo Link function enabled, all
DSP setting, solo status and main assignments are passed to the other channel in the pair.

˙Link & DCA: After link, the channels can also be grouped to DCA as stereo channel, but not able
to cancel the link in DCA. On the contrary, if the channel has been grouped to DCA, it can not link
at all, but its paired channel can link.
For example, channel 5 is linked with channel 6, then both channel 5 and 6 can be grouped to
DCA. But if channel 5 has been grouped to DCA first, it can not link to channel 6, but channel 6
can link to channel 5.
˙Link & Routing: The two linked channels can route as stereo channel, while routed channels can
also link later.
Please note that this is a nondestructive passing, the other channel's previous setting will be
restored after the Link button is disengaged. For example, when Channel 6 has been selected,
then press Stereo Link button, all of Channel 6's setting will be copied onto Channel 5. The
Channel 5's own setting will restore after the Link button has been disengaged.
23. Mute button
Press this button will mute selected channel and all of its assigned
outputs. It will illuminate when the button has been pressed and
enabled.
24. FX Mute button
This button is for FX function, when press it, effects of FX1-2 will be mute synchronously, which
is similar to MUTE button.
25. Motor Fader
There is only one motor fader to control all digital Channel’s level, including 20 main
input channels, 1 USB in, 8 AUX outputs, FX1-2 and 1 Main output channel.
26. AUX1-8 select buttons
This button function is similar to input channel select buttons.
Press this button will route its channel to add DSP setting and assign its output. It will
illuminate as has been pressed and enabled. In DCA window, you can select group
channels by this button.
27. FX1-2 select buttons

35. Control Room knob
This knob controls the overall output level for control room.
36. HP1-2 knob
These knobs control the overall output level for headphones.
37. Main control knob
This knob here controls the overall output level for main channel.
38. Combo Jack
The Combo Jack Inputs integrates Mic and Line in together, insert in the middle hole to get Line
in function, while insert in the edge circle to achieve the Mic function.
The T2208 equips 16 microphone preamplifiers for use with all types of microphones.
The preamplifier has a Class A input buffer which followed by a dual-servo gain stage. This
arrangement will bring ultra-low noise and wide gain control which help to boost signals without
increasing unwanted background noise.
The line-level input is a 1/4-inch, balanced TRS connector. Each channel of the T2208 has a
line-level input. The microphone-preamp circuit will be bypassed if the Line-level Input has been
engaged.
Note: Please notice that there will be a momentary spike in the output when plugging in a
microphone or a line-level input device, or turning phantom power on or off. So it should be
better to mute or turn down the channel fader before changing connections or turning phantom
power on or off.

39. Line inputs 17-20
The 17-20 Line Inputs are normally used as effects returns. A line bus can be used to send several
channels to an external effects processor and also can be used to return the processed signal to
the mixer. The input is balanced stereo. If a mono signal has to be returned to the mix, connect it
to the left input, then the right as well as the left side will get the signal.
40. Insert
Only channel 1-8 are equipped with insert function, while others are not.
The direct-insert point is an unbalanced 1/4-inch connector which can be used to connect
external processors. The insert's sending is after the channel's gain control and before the digital
bus. But the return goes to the digital bus directly. So if a de-esser has been inserted on the
vocalist's channel, the de-esser will get an unprocessed, amplified signal. The processed signal will
return to the T2208's digital bus to add DSP setting and sent through Aux and FX buses…
41. Aux Outputs1-8
These are balanced mono outputs for each auxiliary.
42. Headphones out HP1 and HP2
They are the headphone’s port for monitoring.
43. USB AUDIO in/Out
This port is for USB audio input and output. You can connect it to WINDOWS/MAC system

DSP Control
The DSP control part is the most important part of T2208. In this part you can adjust Gate,
Compressor, EQ, polarity, panning, delay, link, routing, etc. for the selected channel.
Here is the table lists each input/output channel that with DSP function.
6.1 Mixer interface
Once you turn on the T2208 switch, the Mixer interface will come to your eyes at first if you have
preseted, now let’s see what you can get in this interface.
Touch a channel, for example, CH01, the background and corresponding CH1 button
will illuminate synchronously, you can control the output signal level by Parameter
Adjust knob.(Please notice pan button should not be lit, or the Parameter Adjust knob
controls the pan)
