phones, set the switches to the “ MIC” position. For channels with
high-level input signals such as electronic instruments and audio
devices, set the switch to the “ LINE” position.
u [HPF] (High Pass Filter) switches (Channels 1 – 3)
Turning this switch on ( ) applies a high-pass filter that attenuates
frequencies below 80 Hz in the signal by a slope of 12 dB/octave.
This function should be kept on when using vocals in order to reduce
noise from vibration or wind picked up by the microphone.
i [Hi-Z] switch (Channel 4)
Turn this switch on ( ) when you wish to connect instruments with
passive pickups such as acoustic-electric guitars or electric bass
guitars that do not have internal batteries. It enables such devices to
be directly connected to the mixer without the need for a DI (direct
injection box). This function affects only the phone jack input.
o [MIC/LINE] input jacks (Channels 1 – 4)
For connecting microphones, guitars, electronic musical instruments
or audio devices. These are compatible with both XLR and phone
plugs.
!0 [MIC] input jacks (Channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12)
These are balanced XLR microphone input jacks.
!1 [LINE] input jacks (Channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12)
For connecting line-level devices such as electronic instruments,
acoustic-electric guitars, CD players, and portable audio players.
These are compatible with TS phone, RCA-pin, and stereo mini
plugs. Using only the [L/MONO] jacks results in the stereo left and
right channels outputting the same signal.
• Channels 5/6, 7/8: TS phone
• Channel 9/10: RCA-pin
• Channel 11/12: RCA-pin, stereo mini
!2 FX RTN (Effect Return) [PARAMETER] control
For adjusting parameters (depth, speed, etc.) for the selected effect
program. The last value used with each effect program is saved.
NOTE
If desired, a single channel’s [LINE] and [MIC] jacks can be used together
at the same time. But note that the levels cannot be adjusted indepen-
dently. The stereo mini jack has priority for channel 11/12 [LINE] input jack.
NOTE
When you change to a different effect type, the mixer automatically
restores the value that was previously used with the newly selected effect
(regardless of the current position of the FX RTN [PARAMETER] control).
