• The Mic Gain control can apply to either or both channels. The
lock icons show which gain(s) are currently being controlled.
Pushing the knob selects chan A, chan B, or both channels.
Gain offsets can be obtained be selecting each channel
individually and selecting a gain amount, then selecting both
channels. This operation emulates a clutched stereo analog
control in that the offset is removed if both channels are set to
minimum or maximum gain.
• The Mic Gain control is always in fine mode, or one dB per
click. Note that even in Master stereo mode, individual mic
gain adjustments are possible, and both mic gains are stored in
a single preset when used for stereo operation.
• The Mic peak indicator triggers at +20 dBu (entire screen
changes to red), or 3 dB before clipping begins. The meter
indicates a ranges of –43 dBu to +15 dBu, with a reference
level marker at 0 dBu. The A channel level is shown by the
upper meter bar.
