Note: The channels have essentially the same

controls with some minor variations between
Channels 1-2, 3-4, 5/6, and 7/8. The four 1 1 1
different channel types are shown here.

1. Mic Input: Connect a microphone or 2 2 2 2

line-level device to these inputs with an
XLR cable. 3 3 3 3
2. Line Input: Connect line-level devices to

4 5 4 5 4 5 4 5
these inputs with 1/4" cables.
3. Insert: Use a standard 1/4" TRS cable
to connect an external processor (such 6 6 6
as a compressor, limiter, external EQ 7
unit, etc.) to this jack. The signal will be
taken after the channel's gain control 8 8 8 8
and returned before the channel's EQ
controls. The tip of the TRS connection 9 9 9 9
is the send, and the ring is the return.
4. Gain: Adjusts the channel audio level
10 10 10 10
(pre-fader and pre-EQ gain). Adjust this 11 11 11 11
so that the Signal LED lights up.
5. Peak LED: The LED will flash if the 12 12 12 12
signal is clipping. If this happens,
decrease the setting of the Gain knob. 13 13 13 13
6. Low Cut Filter: When this button is
depressed, that channel's audio will be 14 14 14 14
sent through a 75 Hz low-frequency filter
with a slope of 18 dB per octave. This is
useful for reducing low-frequency noise
when using microphones.
7. Compressor: Adjusts the amount of 15 15 15 15
compression on the channel, applied by
the mixer's built-in compressor. The
LED next to the knob will light up when 16 16 16 16
the compressor is on.
8. Hi EQ: Adjusts the high (treble) frequencies of the channel.
9. Mid EQ: Adjusts the mid-range frequencies of the channel.
10. Low EQ: Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of the channel.
11. Monitor Knob: Adjusts the pre-fader level of the signal sent from that channel to the
Monitor Mix, whose level is controlled by the Monitor Fader.
12. DFX Knob: Adjusts the post-fader level of the signal sent to the mixer's effects
processor, whose level is controlled by the DFX Return Fader (DFX Rtn).
13. Channel Pan / Balance: If this knob is labeled Pan, it adjusts the (mono) channel's
position in the stereo field. If the knob is labeled Bal, it adjusts the balance between the
left and right channels of that stereo signal.
14. Channel Mute: Press this button to mute/unmute the channel. The LED next to the
button will light up when the channel is muted.
15. Channel Fader: Adjusts the audio level on the channel.
16. Signal LED (Sig): Indicates that the channel's incoming audio signal is within an optimal
range.

17. Aux Send: Use 1/4" TRS cables to
connect these outputs to the inputs of
an external amplifier or active monitor.
Use the Monitor Knob (Mon) on each 40
channel to control the level of the signal
sent to Aux Send 1. This is useful for
creating a custom monitor mix for
onstage musicians.
27
18 17
18. Aux Return (Aux Rtn): Connect the
outputs of an external device to these
28
inputs with 1/4" mono cables. If your
source is mono, plug it into the left jack
and it will be heard on both the left and
right sides.
19. Aux Return Fader (Aux Rtn): Controls
20
the audio level sent into the Aux Return
(Aux Rtn) inputs.
21 22
20. Graphic Equalizer: When the EQ 39
On/Off switch is on (depressed), you 25
can use these controls to adjust the
equalization of the main mix. 23 24 38
21. EQ On/Off: Enables or disables the
Graphic Equalizer.
22. Main Out / Monitor Out: When this

33 31 29 37
button is raised, the Graphic Equalizer
will affect the signal sent to the Main
Mix Outputs. When this button is
depressed, the Graphic Equalizer will 34 32 30
affect the signal sent to the Aux 1
(Mon) Output. 14 14 14 14
23. Effect Selector: This knob determines
what effect the mixer's internal effects
processor will apply to the various
channels. Turn the knob to change the
effect number, and push the knob to
select it. The display next to the DFX 26 19 35 36
Mute button will show the preset
number. Each channel can send
different levels of audio to the
processor by adjusting its DFX Knob.
See the Effects section for an
explanation of the available effects.
24. DFX Mute: Press this button to
mute/unmute the effects.
25. DFX Peak LED: The LED will flash if the signal is clipping. If this happens, decrease the
setting of your source channels' DFX Knobs. When the effects processor is muted, the
LED will be solidly lit.
26. DFX Return Fader (DFX Rtn): Adjusts the volume of the audio sent from the mixer's
effects processor.
27. DFX Bypass: You can connect a standard 1/4" latching-style footswitch (sold separately)
to this input and use it to bypass the mixer's internal effects processor (when the
footswitch is in its "closed" position).

28. Phones Output: Connect 1/4" stereo headphones to these outputs. The Phones Volume knob
controls the volume. The Phones Source button sets what signal is sent to this output.
29. Phones Source: When this button is raised, the signal from the Main Mix Outputs will be
heard in the Phones Output. When this button is depressed, the signal from the Control Room
Outputs (Ctrl Out) will be heard in the Phones Output.
30. Phones Volume: Adjusts the volume of Phones Output.
31. USB In Source: When this button is raised, the signal sent to the mixer through its USB Port
will be sent to the Main Mix Outputs. When this button is depressed, the signal sent to the
mixer through its USB Port will be sent to the Control Room Outputs (Ctrl Out).
32. USB In Level: Adjusts the level of the signal sent to the mixer through its USB Port.
33. 2 Track In Source: When this button is raised, the signal from the 2 Track In will be sent to the
Main Mix Outputs. When this button is depressed, the signal from the 2 Track In will be sent
to the Control Room Outputs (Ctrl Out).
34. 2 Track In Level: Adjusts the level of the 2 Track In.
35. Monitor Fader: Adjusts the level of the Aux Send 1 (Mon) output (the Monitor Mix).
36. Main Fader: Adjusts the level of the Main Mix Outputs.
37. LED Meters: Shows the audio level of the Main Mix Outputs. The Clip LED can light up
occasionally, but if it happens too often, reduce the volume of the mix and/or individual
channels.
38. Phantom Power: Activates/deactivates phantom power. When activated, phantom power
supplies +48V to the XLR mic inputs and the LED next to the button will light up. Please note
that most dynamic microphones do not require phantom power, while most condenser
microphones do. Consult your microphone's documentation to find out whether it needs
phantom power.
39. Power LED: Illuminates when the mixer is on.
40. USB Power Connection: You can use this USB port to connect and power (or charge) a
device that requires power from a 5V, 1A USB bus.
