OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE Titan™ 8A MKII / Titan™ 12D / Titan™ 15D The Loop / Mix Switch The LOOP/MIX switch allows you to control the signal content going to the XLR OUTPUT jack. In the “LOOP” mode, this switch routes the signal of INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack, bypassing the EQ section and volume control. When in the MIX mode, this switch routes the combined (or “mixed”) signals of both INPUT A and INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack.
