SELECT Switch (DIGITAL EFFECTS)
The SELECT switch allows you to select one of the eight built-in
digital effects. Simply rotate the SELECT knob to choose the vari-
ous effect pre-sets.
DSP PEAK
The DSP PEAK indicator lets you know when you are sending too
much level to the internal effects processors. If the LED illuminates, turn down the signal from the chan-
nel’s AUX 2 /DSP send. You may need to do this on more than one channel if you have multiple inputs
sending to the internal DSP.

This section identifies the eight built-in DSP effects presets. Following is the effects pre-set list:1-Large
Hall, 2-Medium Hall, 3-Large Room, 4-Vocal Room 1, 5-Vocal Room 2, 6-Chorus + Reverb, 7-Chorus +
Delay, 8-Stairwell
2T LEVEL
The 2TRK LEVEL control is used to adjust the amount of signal
that is sent from the 2TK IN jacks to the Control Room or head-
phone outputs. For more information see the section, "Playing
back a CD Using the 2 Track to MIX" on page 18 of this manual.

as mute switches to turn the channel on or off. In recording applications, you can use 3/4 switches with left
and right panning to assign a channel to the either the 3 or 4 bus outputs for sending to an input of a
recorder.You can also mix the 3/4 bus with the LEFT and RIGHT mix bus by using the 3/4 to MIX switch,
located in the master section above the 3 /4/ OUTPUTS faders, allowing you to subgroup channels. In this
mode, you can assign channels to the 3/4 bus and use the 3/4 OUTPUT faders to sub-mix those channels.
More information on the 3/4 to MIX switch can be found later in this manual.

24 BIT DIGITAL EFFECT SECTION
The MDR10 features a built-in, 24 Bit Digital Effects processor with high
quality, studio grade effects such as Delay, Chorus and Reverb. The fol-
lowing section describes the features of the powerful on-board DSP.
Auxiliary Returns
The MDR10 has two stereo auxiliary returns, which can be accessed via the two pairs of 1/4-inch phone jacks
located on the top panel. The auxiliary returns can be used to connect any stereo line level signal, but they are
primarily used to connect the output of external effects processors. The MDR10’s onboard effects are internally
connected to the FX RET2.
