MIXPAD 4 Channels
4: Equalizer (violet) - These knobs determine the amount of boost or
attenuation in each of three frequency areas. Each knob provides
15 dB of cut or boost at 12 kHz (High) and 80 Hz (Low) frequencies,
and 12 dB of cut or boost at the Mid (2.5 kHz) frequency. The High and
Low frequencies utilize shelving curves and the Mid frequency utilizes a
bell (peaking) curve. In the stereo channel (channels 3 - 4), the EQ
settings affect both inputs, although the signals remain separate.
A center detent in each knob (at the “0” position) indicates no boost or
attenuation (that is, flat response). As each knob is turned clockwise
from the “0” position, the frequency area is boosted; as it is turned
counterclockwise from the “0” position, the frequency area is
attenuated. For more information on the application of EQ, see the
“Using Equalization” section on page 30 in this manual.
5: Auxiliary send (blue) - This knob allows you to route signal from
any or all channels to the MIXPAD 4’s monophonic Auxiliary output.
This is typically used to create a submix (for example, a headphone cue
mix) or to feed signal from single or multiple channels to outboard
effects devices. At the “0” (2 o’clock) position, the signal is routed with
unity gain (that is, no boost or attenuation). As each knob is turned
clockwise from the “0” position, the signal is boosted; as it is turned
counterclockwise from the “0” position, it is attenuated. The MIXPAD 4
Aux send is post-eq and
post-fade
; that is, the level of the signal is
determined by the channel’s EQ settings and the position of its Level
control (plus, in mono channels, the position of its Trim control).
See the “Using Aux Sends and Returns” section on page 32 for more
information.
6: Pan (green) - Provided in monophonic channels (channels 1 - 2)
only. This knob allows you to place the input signal anywhere in the
left-right stereo spectrum, while keeping the overall signal level
constant. When the knob is placed at its center (detented) position, the
signal is sent equally to both left and right outputs. When moved left of
center, less signal is sent to the right output and more signal is sent to
the left output (making the sound appear left of center) and when moved
right of center, less signal is sent to the left output and more signal is
sent to the right output (making the sound appear right of center).
To route a signal hard left or right, place the pan knob either fully
counterclockwise or fully clockwise.
