PEAK LED INDICATORs & Trim Control PEAK INDICATORS - These LED indicators will “light” when the input signal reaches 5dB below the channel’s clipping point. If the LED “lights” more then usual, you should use the TRIM CONTROL to decrease the input level of the channel. If this does not work, reduce the output level of the connected source.

PAN/BALANCE CONTROL PAN (Mono Control) - This control pans the channel signal across the master L and R buses, therefore determining the ideal position of the sound from that channel. EXAMPLE: If the PAN control is set all the way to the left, the sound from that channel will only be projected from the left speaker only. Same goes for the control being set all the way to the right, only from the right speaker.
