Tips

Use the sweepable mid EQ on mono channels to carve out space for vocals or instruments in dense mixes. The pre/post switchable aux sends let you choose between a fixed monitor mix or an effects send that follows the channel fader. For live gigs, engage the global +48V phantom power to use condenser microphones on any channel without extra gear. When rack-mounting, order the optional rack kit to secure the mixer in a standard 19" rack and protect the controls during transport.
