FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

1. INPUT LEVEL CONTROLS. Each of the four input channels has one pair

of concentric LEVEL controls. These controls allow the user to set the

amount of level from each pair of input channels (A and B) to be delivered

to the respective mix buses. The inner knob controls Channel A, the outer

Channel B. These set the input mix for both the FLEX BUS OUTs and the

MASTER A and B Outputs on the rear of the unit.

2. AUX SEND LEVEL CONTROLS. These concentric level pots adjust the

Aux mix on both the FLEX BUS OUT as well as the levels to the AUX

LOOP A and B jacks on the rear panel. The inner knob adjust Channel A,

the outer Channel B. As mentioned elsewhere in this manual, the AUX

SENDS may be either PRE or POST fade (before or after the input LEVEL

controls). This determination is made internally based on the switch posi-

tions located on the printed circuit board beneath the top cover.

3. MASTER A AND B LEVEL CONTROLS. Another set of concentric

controls, the inner knob adjusts the MASTER OUTPUT A level on the rear

panel, the outer sets the MASTER OUTPUT B level. These controls have no

effect on the FLEX BUS OUT levels.

4. POWER INDICATOR. This is a yellow light emitting diode. The light,

when present, is created by the forward bias condition of the gallium

arsenide junction encapsulated within the yellow plastic, which serves two

purposes: one, to act as a lens for the light and the other to protect the

delicate solid state chip within. Or, if you prefer, if this light is lit the

power’s on.
