The left area, under the MIX REMOTE logo, enables the recall of the INPUTS tab, which is the default one.
Below, there are FX1, FX2, and FX3 tabs in orange, as well as AUX1, AUX2, AUX3, AUX4, AUX5, and AUX6
tabs in green. At the bottom there is a double arrow allowing you to scroll down 8 inputs at a time, or more
if some channel are stereo linked.
The right column, under the RCF logo, is dedicated to the MAIN OUT section, featuring the * key (19) to
recall the MAIN settings page, a box (20) indicating the level of the stereo fader in dB, the Mute button
(21), the MAIN OUT text box and the red stereo fader (22), which remains active in almost every page of
the mixer. At the bottom there is a double arrow allowing you to scroll up 8 inputs at a time, or more if
some channel are stereo linked.
The central
area is reserved for a view of 8 faders
(12)
;
this area can be scrolled by swiping your finger
horizontally. Above each fader there is a * (13) to
recall its setup pages, a box indicating the pan-pot
position or each fader level in dB (14) and a Mute
button (15). Please note that clicking on the pan-pot,
a larger windows opens, allowing better setting
accuracy.
Then there's a text box (16) which by default shows the channel number, e.g. CH.01 by clicking on the
button appears a keyboard allowing you to enter up to 12 characters to name the channel. On the right of
each fader there's the relevant level indicator, and under the fader there is the headphone icon (17) if the
PFL mode is activated – please see the Settings tab, Global page. Finally there's the number of the
hardware input (18), which can't be modified.
The faders of the 18 analog inputs are followed by PLAY-L and PLAY-R faders, controlling the signal from
stereo USB flash drive – these channels don't have the PRE-DYN section. Finally there are the faders of
internal effect returns FX1 RTN, FX2 RTN and FX3 RTN, which have only boxes for dB level, MUTE, fixed
name, and PFL, as well as the fader.
