MIXPAD 12 / MIXPAD 9 Channels
Balance control)—see the “Using Pan/Balance” section on page 28 for
more information. See the “Connecting The MIXPAD” section on page
19 for additional information on how best to use channel inputs.
4: Equalizer (violet) - These knobs determine the amount of boost or
attenuation in each of two frequency areas. The high and low frequency
knobs provide 15 dB of cut or boost at 10 kHz and 100 Hz, respectively.
Both frequency controls utilize a shelving curve. In stereo channels, EQ
settings affect both the left and right 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.
5: Auxiliary sends (blue) - These knobs allow you to route signal to
either or both of the MIXPAD’s two monophonic Auxiliary outputs.
These are typically used to create submixes (for example, a headphone
cue mix) and 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. Aux send 1 is
post-eq but
pre-fade
; that is, the level of the signal is determined solely
by its EQ settings and by its Trim control; see #2 on the previous page.
Aux send 2 is post-eq and
post-fade
; that is, the level of the signal is
determined by the channel’s Trim control, its EQ settings, and the
position of its Level control. See the “Using Aux Sends and Returns”
section on page 32 for more information.
6: Pan (green) - Provided in monophonic channels 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.
