°
PHONO/LINE source switch selects the Input for each channel.
• ±12 dB input GAIN trims:
°
Adjust for +0 dB on CUE Meter.
• Left/Right, constant-level PAN controls:
°
e loudness stays the same in the room as you Pan left to right.
• 3-band, full-cut tone controls:
°
+6 dB boost to full-cut (o).
°

°
Mid-High crosspoint is 4 kHz.
• EQ engage switch
°
Allows “transform” EQ eects.
• DRY/WET Pan controls:
°
Use to split signal between DRY (no eect) and WET (FlexFx loop).
°
See FlexFx Loop section for details.
• A-POST-B Crossfader assignment
°
Input channels are assignable to A-side, B-side or Post-Crossfader.
°
See Advanced Cue Selection section for automatic “Flash-Cue” operation.
Auto-Gain Switch
• Monitors channel-1, -2, and -3 input signals and automatically adjusts the input gain.
°
Level is monitored at the Cue point: After PHONO/LINE source selection
After GAIN trim
After EQ
Before the channel Fader
• Enable by setting the Input 1-2-3 Auto-Gain switch to the “in” position.
°
Green indicator will light.
°
Auto-Gain is engaged for all three channels or none.
• Target Level: 0 dBu = No gain change.
• reshold: –16 dBu
°
Minimum level required for Auto-Gain operation.
°
If the signal is below –16 dB, the gain holds indenitely.
• Ratio = 3:1
°
3 dB increase or decrease in input level results in 1 dB increase/decrease in output level.
• Turns the gain down at a rate of 32 dB per second.
• Turns the gain up at a rate of 5.33 dB per second.

°
Set SPLIT CUE switch to “IN” position.
°
Set CUE/MASTER Pan to center position.
