Here are your options:
DYNAMICS
● Hard Compression
■ Main L/R
■ AUX 1
■ AUX 2
● Soft Compression
■ Main L/R
■ AUX 1
■ AUX 2
● Noise Gate — Hard
■ Main L/R
■ AUX 1
■ AUX 2
■ Noise Gate — Soft
■ Main L/R
■ AUX 1
■ AUX 2
■ Limiter
■ Main L/R
■ AUX 1
■ AUX 2
Each of these dynamics types is
simultaneously available on L/R,
Aux  and Aux . That's more
processing power than any com-
parably price mixer!
The Limiter is especially useful
on wedge monitors or in-ear-sys-
tems fed by Aux  or . It abrupt-
ly "limits" output to protect
musician's eardrums.
A Noise Gate allows a signal
above a certain selected thresh-
old to pass through. If the input
signal falls below the threshold,
the signal gets cut off and no
sound is heard.
It can also elminate footsteps
during quiet services and cere-
monies.
EQUALIZATION
● 9-band EQ Wide
■ Main L/R
■ AUX 1
■ AUX 2
● 9 / 31-band EQ Narrow
■ Main L/R
■ AUX 1
■ AUX 2
By "9 / 31-band EQ" we mean
that you can single out and
boost/cut nine specific bands out
of . They can be close togeth-
er or sprinkled through out the
whole 6 to6k range. This per-
fect for "notching out" persistent
feedback.
FEEDBACK SUPPRESSOR
● Main L/R
● AUX 1
● AUX 2
There are no specific adjust-
ments for the Feedback Suppres-
sor. It just works — and surpris-
ingly well at that.
You have three Feedback
Suppressors at your service, as-
signable to Main L/R, Aux  and
Aux , and that's a good thing. A s
noted about the Limiter, sudden
feedback in floor wedges or in-
ear monitors can be very harmful
to the ears. The Suppressors
assignable to Aux  and Aux  can
prevent problems.

We differentiate between signal processing
and effects. Effects are the highly realistic
digital effects such as reverbs and echos that
SoundLink is capable of. Signal processing are
ways to change a sound's character.
