Be sure this volume control is always set to zero before turning the unit on. 2. MIC LEVEL -This rotary knob is used to control the microphone volume output level. Turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase volume output. 3. CHANNEL BASS CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of a channel allowing for a maximum bass gain of 12dB or maximum signal decrease of -26dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a channel signal. 4. CUE MIXING CONTROLLER -This switch selects the channel for monitoring. The monitor signal comes from the Prefader. This means it will not be affected by the channel faders. You can monitor each channel individually. Connect your headphones to the HEADPHONES jack. Flip the CUE MIXING CONTROL switch to channel you wish to monitor.

Sliding the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of channels one and two respectively. When the crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both channel one and channel two will be even. 9.
