Owner ' s Manual 11 Front Panel - Connections and Channel Strip The vertical channel strips look very similar , and have only a few differences between them. Each channel works independently , and just controls the signals plugged into the inputs directly above them.
12 Pr oFX16 and Pr oFX22 Phantom power may be selected by engaging the mixer's phantom [35] switch. Never plug single-ended (unbalanced) micro phones, or ribbon mics into the mic input jacks if phantom power is on.

Owner ' s Manual 13 8. INSER T Theseunbalanced1/4"jacksareforconnecting serial effects processors such as compressors, equalizers, de-essers, or filters. The insert point is after the gain control [9] and low cut filter [10], but before the channel’ s EQ [11-15] and level [23].
14 Pr oFX16 and Pr oFX22 11. HI EQ The hi EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost or cut above 12 kHz, and it is also flat (no boost or cut) at the detent. Use it to add sizzle to cymbals, an overall sense of transparency , or an edge to keyboards, vocals, guitar and bacon frying.
Owner ' s Manual 15 The pan [18], mute [20] and channel fader [23] do not affect the monitor output, but the other channel controls will. The aux mon is pre-fader .
16 Pr oFX16 and Pr oFX22 22. PFL SOLO Switch When a channel's solo switch is engaged, any existing selection is replaced by the solo signal, appearing at the control room outputs [31], phones [33] and at the left meter [40]. The audible solo levels are then controlled by the control room knob [53].
Owner ' s Manual 17 At the maximum compression, the thr eshold is set at 0 dBu, and the input to output relationship is repr esented by the lower curve. If the input is –5 dBu (that is, below the threshold), the output is –5 dBu. As the input reaches 0 dBu, the output is a bit less than 0 dBu.
18 Pr oFX16 and Pr oFX22 Additional Inputs & Outputs 26. MON SEND Stage monitors allow the talented musicians in the band to hear themselves clearly on stage. This can be a good thing! The monitor mix may be carefully adjusted in level using the aux mon controls [16].
