settings for each of the eight input channels and the main output bus.
4.2.15.1 – WHAT DO THE CONTROLS DO?
FADER BEHAVIOR
In EQ Mode, the K-Mix faders continue to function as though they are in Mains Mode. Faders 1–8
control the level of input channels 1–8 and the master fader controls the level of the main output bus
(outputs 1 & 2).
ROTARY BEHAVIOR
The four rotaries are used to adjust equalization settings for the currently selected channel (or
channels). By default the rotaries are set to adjust the following parameters:
• Rotary 1 = Low Boost/Cut
• Rotary 2 = Mid Boost/Cut
• Rotary 3 = Mid Frequency
• Rotary 4 = High Boost/Cut
It is also possible to hold down the [SHIFT] button to access more EQ parameters. When holding
down [SHIFT] the rotaries will adjust the following parameters:
• Rotary 1 = Low Frequency
• Rotary 2 = off
• Rotary 3 = Mid Q (Bandwidth)
• Rotary 4 = High Frequency
Rotaries act like traditional knobs; the minimum value is at 7 o’clock and the maximum value is at
5 o’clock. Move the rotary clockwise to increase the current parameter’s value; move the rotary
counterclockwise to decrease.
CHANNEL SELECT BUTTON BEHAVIOR
The channel select buttons are used to select the EQ that is currently being edited by the rotary
controls.
• Each input channel and the main output bus has its own EQ, so any of the channel select
buttons may be used.
The LED color of the channel select buttons is used to display the currently selected EQ (or EQs).
• Green = currently selected
• Red = not selected
When selected, the rotaries will update to display the selected channel’s EQ settings.
