This Mackie product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or E.

Aux sends 5 & 6 are always post-fader, designed for parallel effects applications. Aux sends 3 & 4, thanks to this switch, can be set to be pre- or post-fader, so they can be used for monitors or effects. PRE-FADER: With the PRE switch engaged (down), AUX 3 and 4 deliver signals post-insert, post-low cut, post EQ, post-mute, and pre-fader. Any changes made to the channel controls, except the fader, will affect the aux send signal. POST-FADER: With the PRE switch disengaged (up), AUX 3 and 4 deliver signals post-insert, post-low cut, post-mute, post-EQ and post-fader. Any changes made to the channel controls will affect the aux send signal. -15 U HI HI +15 -15 U +15 MID -15 +15 -15 U HI MID 3k +15 600 150 1. 5k FREQ 800Hz -15 U LOW MID 100 U 8k +15 LOW 80Hz -15 +15 -15 +15 LOW 80Hz LOW CUT 75 Hz 18dB/OCT OL OL L R -20 L R -20 PAN PAN MUTE MUTE / SOLO dB 20 21 22 MUTE MUTE / SOLO dB 10 5 U 5 SOLO 10 5 SOLO 1-2 U 5 1-2 3-4 10 20 30 40 50 60 O O 3-4 10 L-R 20 30 40 50 60 O O L-R 19 Mono channels IC UM Stereo channels U -10dBV GA IN TRIM TRIM EQ: (28 through 34) The mixer has low shelving, mid peaking and high shelving EQ. "Shelving" means that the circuitry boosts or cuts all frequencies past the specified frequency. For example, boosting the LOW EQ knob boosts bass frequencies at 80Hz and below. "Peaking" means that only a selected "hill" of frequencies surrounding a center "hilltop" frequency is affected by the EQ control. All EQ gain controls provide up to 15dB of boost (clockwise) or cut (counter-clockwise). They are flat (no boost or cut) at their center detents, effectively bypassing their circuits. With excessive amounts, the signal may become too hot and overload subsequent circuitry. Should this happen, either back off the EQ gain, or repeat the SET THE LEVELS on page 8. The following graphs show how the frequency response changes when the various controls are adjusted. (The graphs are simplified for entertainment and enlightenment purposes only). 31.
