(EN) Controls
(1) The input select switch lets you switch
between two signal sources. Select Line to
hear the signal of the Line input (67). Select
Phono/Line to listen to the incoming source
signal at the Phono/Line (68) input.
(2) The GAIN knob adjusts the level of the input
signal. The actual level is displayed on the
level meter (3).
(3) The 7-segment LED meter indicates the level
of the input signal.
(4) Each input channel features a 3-band
equalizer (HIGH, MID and LOW) with kill
feature, giving you up to 12 dB of boost and a
maximum cut of -∞ dB (kill). The kill feature
lets you mute the given frequency range.
When each EQ knob is turned fully left, the
signal is effectively muted. All EQ parameters
can be adjusted in Channel Setup.
(5) The MODE push button changes the
functionality of the preset push button
(6) from Multi to Single.
(6) The preset push buttons P1, P2 and P3 allow
you to store and activate equalizer presets.
When activated in Single Mode, these push
buttons provide a maximum cut of -∞ dB
(kill function).
(7) Press the PFL push button to listen in on the
channel's signal using headphones.
(8) The fader controls the channel volume.
(9) The CURVE switch adjusts the response of
the fader. In SOFT Mode, the fader responds
slower to steady fader movement in the
upper range and quicker in the lower range.
In SHARP Mode, the fader adjusts the volume
quicker in the upper third and slower in
the lower range. In MID Mode, the fader
responds in a linear fashion. Since a difference
in volume levels is heard when switching
between modes, don't use this switch while
playing music!
The CF ASSIGN push button lets you
(10)
determine on which side of the crossfader (20)
(A or B) the signal is to be heard.
The GAIN knob adjusts the level of the
(11)
microphone signal at the MIC 1 input.
This switch determines which signal is to be
(12)
displayed on the level meter (13). IN VU shows
the unprocessed input level which helps you
to adjust the microphone signal correctly.
XMC VU shows the level after it has passed
the Ultramic processor.
The 7-segment LED meter indicates the level
(13)
of the microphone channel.
The microphone channel strip features a
(14)
3-band equalizer (HIGH, MID and LOW). The
range is ±12 dB.
The ON/OFF push button turns the
(15)
microphone channel on and off.
The MIC SETUP push button opens the
(16)
Mic Setup menu on the display. This allows
you to adjust the settings of the equalizer,
the Ultramic processor and the MIC FX
(effects processor).
The XMC ON push button activates the
(17)
ULTRAMIC processor, which includes a 2-band
compressor and expander. Ultramic settings
can be adjusted in Mic Setup.
The MIC FX ON push button activates the
(18)
microphone effects processor. Select the
effect in Mic Setup.
The TALK ON push button activates the
(19)
Talkover function. This attenuates the volume
level of the music as soon as you speak into
the microphone. This is a very useful function
to make yourself heard over the music being
played. You can adjust all the relevant settings
in Talk Setup.
The replaceable crossfader is used to fade
(20)
between the signals that are assigned to its
two sides A and B. You can assign the stereo
channels and sampler using the CF Assign
push buttons (10) and (65).
The CF ON push button activates the
(21)
crossfader. When the push button is not
pressed, the signals of the individual channels
are routed straight to the Main outputs.
There are 3 Kill push buttons (HIGH, MID
(22)
and LOW) on each side of the crossfader
which let you mute the given frequency
range. In Crossfader Setup, it is possible to
activate a special X-OVER mode that enhances
the crossfader's functionality in combination
with the Kill push buttons.
