[. . . ] Channel 5­12 AUX pots control the mono sum of the channel's stereo signals for each AUX send. For instance, channel 5 (L) and 6 (R) mix together to feed that channel's AUX send knobs. We recommend going into a stereo reverb in mono and returning in stereo. We have found that on most "stereo" reverbs the second input just ties up an extra AUX send and adds nothing to the sound. If your effects device is true stereo all the way through, use AUX 1 to feed its left input and AUX 2 to feed the right input. Here come the tricky parts, where the mixing is really done. +15 +10 +5 0 ­5 ­10 ­15 20Hz Low EQ +15 +10 +5 0 ­5 ­10 ­15 20Hz 100Hz 1kHz 10kHz 20kHz Low EQ with Low Cut +15 +10 +5 Short for "midrange, " this knob provides 12dB of boost or cut, centered at 2. 5kHz, also flat at the center detent. Midrange EQ is often thought of as the most dynamic, because the frequencies that define any particular sound are almost always found in this range. You can create many interesting and useful EQ changes by turning this knob down as well as up. HI EQ This control gives you up to 15dB boost or cut at 12kHz, and it is also flat at the detent. Use it to add sizzle to cymbals, and an overall sense of transparency, or edge to keyboards, vocals, guitar and bacon frying.

We've designed a lot of boost and cut into each equalizer circuit, because we know everyone will occasionally need that. Equalize subtly and use the left sides of the knobs (cut), as well as the right (boost).

All channels and AUX RETURNS that are not muted or turned fully down will wind up in the MAIN MIX. Fully counterclockwise is off, the center detent is unity gain, and fully clockwise provides 10dB additional gain. This additional gain will typically never be needed, but once again, it's nice to know it's there. This is the knob to turn down at the end of the song when you want The Great Fade-Out. Selections made in the SOURCE matrix deliver stereo signals to the CONTROL ROOM, PHONES and meter display. With no switches engaged, there will be no signal at these outputs and no meter indication. Regardless of the SOURCE matrix selection, engaging a channel's SOLO switch will replace that selection with the SOLO signal, also sent to the CONTROL ROOM, PHONES and right meter (the left meter becomes inactive).
