Controls and Functions 4. EFX (Effects) Send – The EFX send knob allows you to route the signal to the EFX outputs. The EFX send is post-fader so the level of the signal is determined by the position of the channel Volume control. These sends are usually used to route signal to outboard effects devices. When the EFX send knob is at the 12 o’clock center detent position, the signal is routed with unity. 5. MUTE/CLIP/MIX B – This switch will flash RED when the channel input sig- nal pea

O utput Meter – This six-segment meter shows the continuous output level of the Main Mix, MON, EFX, or MIX B, depending on the position of the SOURCE select switch (see #10). For optimum signal-to-noise ratio, adjust all levels so that program material is usually at or around 0 VU, with occasional, but not steady, excursions to the red segments. 12. MON OUT LE VEL – The SM10 provides a second MON output connec- tor carrying a mono signal of the MON mix. The MON O
