mono input module 1 EQ features Many audio signals coming into the console require some degree of cor- rective eq in order to be part of a good sounding mix. The input eq consists of four-bands: high, high-mid, low-mid and low. The high and low bands have fixed frequencies while the high-mid and low- mid bands are sweepable, with their higher and lower frequencies over- lapping adjacent bands. high frequency—HF 15dB boost and cut at 12kHz—Shelving Response. high-mid frequency—HM 15dB boost and c

mono input module 1 aux send features Eight auxiliary AUX SENDS are available for creating individual output mixes. These mixes can be used for driving effects processors,providing monitor mixes, creating broadcast or alternate sound reinforcement mixes, or other special requirements. aux sends 1–8 These knobs adjust the amount of signal sent to the AUX buses. Unity gain occurs at the zero setting. AUX 6 and 8 controls pan function when selected for stereo operation. aux 1–4, 5/6 and 7/8 pre-fad
