5 Raise the channel fader.
CAUTION
Even if there is no meter indication or no signal is being
output despite the fact that a signal is being input, do
not raise the faders carelessly. The operation of other
switches or features could cause a loud signal to be
output suddenly, possibly damaging speakers or other
equipment. Sudden loud noises could also harm your
hearing.
The best settings for audio quality are when the input
meter “0” indicator lights, and the channel fader or ST
fader is set in the range around 0 (where the fader scale
on the mixer is highlighted). If the fader is set to an
extremely low value, we recommend lowering the amp
volume and then raising the fader. On the other hand,
if the fader is too high, we recommend raising the amp
volume and lowering the fader.
Using the mixer channel functions
High-pass filter (HPF)
Press the HPF switch to turn the high-pass filter ON and
cut frequencies of 80 Hz or less by –12 dB/octave. The
high-pass filter affects inputs from both
MIC and LINE
input jacks, but it is especially effective when using mics
for reducing unwanted noise from wind and breathing.
EQ
Channels 1–6 have 3-band equalization (EQ) with HI,
MID and LOW frequency boost and cut adjustment ranges
of ±15 dB.
The HI band is a shelving EQ. Use the EQ HI knob to boost
or cut the frequency band above 12 kHz.
The MID band is a peaking EQ with 2.5 kHz as the central
frequency. Use the
EQ MID knob to boost or cut mid
frequencies.
The LOW band is a shelving EQ. Use the EQ LOW knob to
boost or cut the frequency band below 100 Hz.
