A note about internal mixer volume levels
and fader positions
When SCENE MEMORY is switched, the fader positions may
not correspond to the mixer’s internal volume levels. To
determine whether or not they do match, carry out the following
procedure.
1. Press [LEVEL METER].
2. Press [F3] (IN FADER). Fader positions are indicated by
“H," and the positions corresponding to the mixer’s internal
volume levels are indicated by “o.”
* When the Control Match setting is “FaderMatch=]UMP,” the
volume changes to the level corresponding to the fader position
as soon as the fader is moved.
* When the Control Match setting is “FaderMatch=NULL,” the
fader begins to change the volume levels only after reaching the
position corresponding to the volume set in the mixer.
