To make it easy to adjust these types of sources, the MixPre-3 oers linking
of channel pairs 1-2.
To link channels 1-2:
1. Push the channel knob 1 to access that Channel screen.
2. Tap Linking.
Do one of the following:
X Select 1-2 for a stereo source.
X Select 1-2ms for MS (Mid-Side) source.
You’ll now be able to control the level of both channels 1 and 2 with the
channel 1 knob. The channel 2 knob will now function as a balance control
if stereo linked or as a width control if MS linked.
