7. EQ Section: These three knobs control the three bands of EQ on their respective channels. The Low band is a
low-shelf starting at 80Hz. The Mid band is a bell-curve centered at 2.5kHz. The Hi band is a high-shelf starting at
12kHz. Each knob has a center detent at 0 (unity) gain.
8. Aux Sends: These two knobs control the Auxiliary buss send level from their respective channels.
Aux 1 is labeled “Mon” and is a pre-fader send to the monitor buss; that is, its level is unaffected by the position of
the channel’s level fader (12). The summed output of all Aux 1 signals is sent to the Aux 1 Send output jack (15), and
may be assigned as a headphone source when selected by the Phones Source switch (29).
Aux 2 is labeled “DFX” and is a post-fader send; that is, its level is directly affected by the position of the
channel’s level fader (12). The summed output of all Aux 2 signals is sent to the Aux 2 Send output jack (15), while
simultaneously being sent to the input of the NRV10’s internal digital effects processor.
9. Pan/Balance: On mono channels 1 through 4, this control pans the output of the channel between the left and
right Main Mix busses. On stereo channels 5/6 and 7/8, this knob acts as a balance control to determine the amount
of input signal sent to the left and right Main Mix busses.
10. Peak LED: When a channel’s input signal exceeds its headroom, the Peak LED will light red. When this happens,
lower the input level at the source or lower the Channel Input Gain knob (5) until the Peak LED stays off to avoid
distorting the signal.
11. Mute LED: The MUTE LED will light when that channel’s Mute/Cue button (13) is pressed, thereby muting that
channel’s input signal to the Main Mix buss. All muted channels will be routed to the Cue buss instead.
12. Channel Level Faders: These 45mm faders determine the output level of the respective channel, which is fed to
the Main Mix bus or the Cue bus, depending on the position of the Mute/Cue button (13).
13. Mute/Cue buttons: The position of these buttons determine the output destination for the associated channel.
When the button is in the “up” position, the channel’s output signal is routed to the Main Mix buss. When the
button is in the “down” position, the channel’s output signal is muted in the Main Mix and routed to the Cue buss
instead, which may be monitored in the headphones when selected by the Phones Source switch (29).
14. Stereo Aux Returns: These 1/4” TRS jacks are used for connecting the outputs of external effect processors
so they may be blended into your mix. If only the left jack of either Aux Return is connected, the signal will be
distributed equally between the left and right busses.
The NRV10’s internal digital effects unit is internally hard-wired to Stereo Aux Return 2. If an input is connected to
the 1/4” jacks for Aux Return 2, the output of the integrated digital effects processor will no longer be audible, and
the external effect processor will be heard in its place.
15. Aux Sends: These 1/4” TRS jacks contain the summed output signal from the channel Aux Sends (8). Connect
these outputs to the inputs of external effects processors.
The input of the NRV10’s integrated digital effects processor is internally wired to Aux Send 2. Signal will still be
sent to the digital effects unit even if a device is connected to the Aux Send 2 jack.
16. Headphone Output: Connect a pair of stereo headphones to this 1/4” TRS jack. The headphones’ output
source is determined by both the Phones Source switch (29) and the FW 9/10 to Phones control (27), and the
overall volume is controlled by the Phones fader (30).
