Pan adjusts placement of the corresponding input sound on output channels, and progressively
modulates levels in the process so that the overall volume neither rises nor drops as a result of
adjustments. Using Pan, one can send part of channel 1 to channel 2, and vice versa. Let’s
consider an example:

When Pan is set to the extreme left position for Input 1a, its audio signal is passed
exclusively to Program Output 1a (ignoring Aux output 1a for this discussion).

Centering the Pan knob splits the sound from Input 1a, so that it is heard equally on
outputs 1a and 1b. (The levels in this case are automatically reduced, so that the overall
level sent from Input 1a sent to output remains constant).

Sliding Pan for Input 1a all the way to the right results in that source only being audible
on Program Output 1b.
Hint: “Pan” is not the same as “Balance”. The balance control for a stereo source varies the
relative level of the left and right channels, but the sound from the left channel will never come
out of the right speaker, or vice versa (whereas Pan can do this).
TRIM
When the Connection Type is set to one of the Mic options, input controls also
include Trim knobs for each microphone input. This is a variable gain setting,
enabling you to adjust input gain to suit the level of a variety of audio sources.
LOCK
Clicking the Lock button links the level sliders above relative to
each other. This enables them to be adjusted in unison.
