mixer.
15. Input trim knobs
These are adjusted to match the output level of
the sound sources connected to INPUT 1~4
(adjusting range is -60dBV~-10dBV). If the PEAK
LED blinks, the levels with this knob.
16. Equalizer control knobs
These knobs control the low frequency range
(100Hz, +/-13dB) and high frequency range
(10kHz, +/-13dB) of the input signals of INPUT
1~4 jacks.
13. AUX send knobs
The AUX send knobs determine the level of the
input signal that will be sent to AUX SEND jacks.
The signal adjusted by these knobs can be sent
to an external device, such as an effect unit.
9. MASTER fader
