[. . . ] As you turn the PAN knob from left to right (thereby causing the sound to move from the left to the center to the right), the sound will appear to remain at the same volume (or loudness). If you have a channel panned hard left (or right) and reading 0dB, it must dip down about 4dB on the left (or right) when panned Mid EQ +15 +10 This control gives you up to +5 15dB boost or cut at 12kHz, and it 0 is also flat at the detent. Use it to ­5 add sizzle to cymbals, and an over- ­10 all sense of transparency or edge ­1520Hz 100Hz to keyboards, vocals, guitar and Hi EQ bacon frying. Turn it down a little to reduce sibilance, or to hide tape hiss. 19 1kHz 10kHz 20kHz U AUX 1 MON/ EFX +15 Moderation during EQ With EQ, you can also screw things up royally. 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). Very few gold-record-album engineers ever use more than about 3dB of EQ. If you need more than that, there's usually a better way to get it, such as placing a mic differently (or using a different kind of mic entirely). O O U EFX O O 2 +15 U EQ HI 12kHz -15 U +15 MID 2. 5kHz -12 U +12 LOW 80Hz -15 +15 PAN L R AUX SEND These tap a portion of each channel signal out to another source for parallel effects processing or stage monitoring. AUX send levels are controlled by the channel's AUX 1 and AUX 2 knobs and by the AUX 1 MASTER . They can be used to generate separate mixes for recording or "mix-minuses" for broadcast. By using AUX 1 in the PRE mode , these mix levels can be obtained independently of the channel's GAIN control. MUTE ALT 3­4 1 dB 10 5 U 5 10 20 30 40 50 60 O O SOLO AUX 1 in POST-mode and AUX 2 are post-LOW CUT, post-EQ and post-FADER. All AUX send levels range from off through unity (with their channel gain controls at the center detent position) on up to 15dB of extra gain (when turned fully clockwise). Chances are you'll never need this extra gain, but it's nice to know it's there if you do. Channel 7­14 AUX pots control the mono sum of the channel's stereo signals for each AUX send. For instance, Channel 7 (left) and 8 (right) 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 most "stereo" reverbs' 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.

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 METERS.
