Channel Pane
The Channel Pane contains the controls and indicators for each channel. Channels
are either in bypass or one of three operating modes: man, auto, or mute. The active
channel mode illuminates. All transitions are made with a smooth, rapid fade. Select a
channel mode by pressing the individual mode buttons or the Master PRESET button.
Figure 5-3 shows a typical system: channels 1–4 in auto with ambient noise, and
channels 5–8 in mute.

Level Indicator
Each channel has a level LED that lights green when the audio level is adequate for
automatic mixing. It should remain green when no one is talking.
• If the level indicator blinks, raise the console’s channel input gain.
• If the level LED lights red, lower the console’s channel input gain.
