FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
ቢ MIC LEVEL control: Adjusts the Level of the MAIN MIC Input.
ባ MIC OL (overload) indicator: lights when the maximum mic level has been reached, 3 dB before clipping. If this lights
up, either turn the MIC LEVEL down or stop yelling.
ቤ Program INPUT selectors: Provide Input selection between the 2 Phono and 2 Line Inputs for each of the Program A or
Program B channels.
ብ Program LOW and HIGH EQ level controls: adjust the equalization for each of the Program Channels. This is not
designed to be the only Equalizer in the system, this is intended to provide EQ between varying program materials. We
recommend an external graphic equalizer for best overall system sound, connected between the MASTER OUTPUTS and
the amplifier.
ቦ Program LEVEL controls: set the volume of each Program Input, as you would expect! These controls are pre-Cross-
fader, so both Program Level controls also depend on the Crossfader setting(see
ቨ).
ቧ Program meter: This four-segment meter shows signal presence (at -24), optimum signal level (at around 0), and a
warning to turn down the associated LEVEL control if the +12 indicator lights up.
ቨ ACTIVE CROSSFADER: Controls the mix of Program A and B Levels in a logical manner. When the Crossfader is all
the way left, only Program A is heard. When it's all the way right, only Program B is heard. When it's right in the middle,
both Program A and B are mixed together equally. This is an Active Crossfader™ which uses a VCA to deliver an extended
life and reduced travel noise, but to insure trouble-free operation, see Fader Cleaning.
