for the PRE channel to Mic, Line, or DI (instru-
ment). The bottom half of this pop-up menu
sets the input impedance for a PRE channel to
1.5 kΩ, 15 kΩ, or 1.5 MΩ.

Clicking the Mic Preamp Window button
(labeled mic, inst, or DI) opens a floating Mic
Preamp window, an alternative to Mix and Edit
window views. See “Mic Preamp Window” on
page 62.

ual channels.

with a center frequency of 85 Hz and a roll-off of

move microphone proximity effects, hum, rum-
ble, wind, and other low frequency sounds.
