TASCAM M-164/M-164FX/M-164UF
Channels 7-8 and 9-10 have 2-band EQ with HI and LOW
shelving frequency boost and cut adjustment ranges of ±15
dB.
Use the EQ HI knob to boost or cut the frequency band
above 12 kHz, and use the EQ LOW knob to boost or cut
the frequency band below 100 Hz.
AUX sends
The mixer has 2 AUX busses (AUX 1, AUX 2).
AUX 1
Signals from channels 1–6, 7-8 and 9-10 can be sent to the
AUX 1 bus by adjusting their AUX 1 knob levels. Use the
AUX MASTER 1 knob to set the final level of the AUX 1
bus signal that is output from the AUX SEND 1 jack on the
rear panel. You can also monitor the AUX 1 signal using
headphones attached to the mixer.

You can set whether the signal sent to the AUX 1 bus
is pre-fader or post-fader. When the PRE switch is ON
(switch pushed in), the signal is sent to the AUX 1 bus
after EQ adjustment but before fader adjustment so the
fader position has no effect. When the PRE switch is OFF
(switch not pushed in), the signal is sent to the AUX 1 bus
after being adjusted by the fader.
Ordinarily, if you want to use AUX 1 for stage or cue
monitoring, turn the PRE switch ON to create a mix that is
entirely independent from the main mix. To use AUX 1 as
an effect send, turn the PRE switch OFF.
In addition, there is a TO AUX 1 switch on channels 13-14
on all M-164 mixers, as well as on channels 15-16 on
M-164FX and M-164UF mixers and channels 11-12 on
M-164UF. Turn this ON to send the post-fader signal to the
AUX 1 bus. For example, input an effect return to a pair of
these channels, and use this switch to set whether or not to
send this to a monitoring setup on the AUX 1 bus.
AUX 2
Signals from channels 1–6, 7-8 and 9-10 can be sent to the
AUX 2 bus by adjusting their AUX 2 knob levels.
The signal sent to the AUX 2 bus is always post-fader, so
the AUX 2 bus is usually used for an effect send. Use the
AUX MASTER 2 knob to set the final level of the AUX 2
bus signal that is output from the AUX SEND 2 jack on the
rear panel.
On M-164FX and M-164UF mixers, the AUX 2 signal is
also sent to the internal effects. (See “Using internal effects
(M-164FX and M-164UF)” on page 23.)
