Input channel section
Controls for the 8 input channels (AH). Input signals can
be assigned to the track mixer or sub mixer.
PHANTOM switch
Turns phantom power for the XLR input jacks on input
channels AD ON and OFF. Turn this switch ON when
connecting condenser mics that requires +48 V of
external power.
CAUTION
When the PHANTOM switch is ON, do not change the
connections for inputs A–D. Do not connect or discon-
nect mics with the phantom power turned ON.
TRIM knobs (A–H)
Adjusts gain of MIC/LINE input jacks. Turning clock-
wise raises gain (increases signal level).
INPUT keys (A–H)
Pressing the INPUT key of an input channel selects it as
an active channel and the key lights. An active channel
is affected by mixer functions and other operations.
These keys are also used for the following purposes.
To assign an input channel to a track channel or the sub
mixer (see “Inputs and assignments” on page 29 and
“Sub mixer” on page 35).
To assign effects to an input (see
“Assigning mic
effects” on page 39 and “Assigning the multi-effect” on
page 41).
To link inputs next to each other (see
“Linking chan-
nels” on page 33).
OL indicators
These provide warnings about overloaded input levels.
If a channel's OL indicator turns red, turn its TRIM
knob counterclockwise to reduce the channel's gain.
