Channel Controls (Mono Channels 1 & 2, Stereo Channel 3-4)

• WINS: Adjusts the input sensitivity for each channel. Set this to achieve a strong signal without clipping (indicated by the PK LED).
• HOË/LAE EQ: These knobs control the treble (HIGH) and bass (LOW) frequencies for each channel. Use them to shape the tone of your audio.
• PAN (Mono Channels): Adjusts the position of the mono signal in the stereo field (left to right).
• BAL (Stereo Channel): Balances the left and right signals of the stereo input.
• VOL: Controls the output volume of each individual channel to the main mix.
• +48V fantoomkrag: For mono channels, press the +48V button to supply phantom power to condenser microphones connected via XLR. Ensure microphones are compatible before activating.
• IMPED (Impedance Switch): For mono channels, switch between MIC (low impedance) and INST-HI-Z (high impedance) for optimal input matching.

Meester-afdelingkontroles

• HOOF UIT: Beheer die algehele volume van die hoof stereo-uitset.
• FOONE: Verstel die volume vir die koptelefoonuitvoer.
• USB/2TK Input: This section allows routing of the digital audio input from the USB connection. The input can be routed to the main output or to the headphones for monitoring.
• VLAKMETER: The LED meter displays the output level of the main mix. Aim for levels that are strong but do not consistently peak into the red.
