  • убацити: A send/return point for connecting external signal processors.
  • Channel Direct Out: Provides a direct output of the channel's signal.
  • Високопропусни филтер (ХПФ): Engages a filter to remove low-frequency rumble.
  • 3-Band Equalizer with Semi-Parametric MF: Adjusts high, mid, and low frequencies. The mid-frequency control allows sweeping for precise tonal shaping.
  • Aux Sends (1-4): Controls the level of the channel's signal sent to the four auxiliary outputs. Aux 1 and 2 can be switched between pre-fader (for monitors) and post-fader (for effects).
  • Пан Цонтрол: Positions the channel's signal within the stereo field (left to right).
  • Прекидач за искључивање звука: Silences the channel's output.
  • PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch: Routes the channel's signal to the headphone output for monitoring before the fader.
  • Peak Level Indicator: Светли када је улазни сигнал превисок, што указује на могуће пресецање (клипање).
  • 60mm Volume Fader: Adjusts the overall output level of the channel.

3.2 Stereo Channel Controls (Channels 5/6)

  • Гаин Цонтрол: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the microphone (XLR) or line (jack) inputs.
  • 3-појасни еквилајзер: Adjusts high, mid, and low frequencies for the stereo input.
  • Aux Sends (1-4): Controls the level of the channel's signal sent to the four auxiliary outputs. Aux 1 and 2 can be switched between pre-fader and post-fader.
  • Контрола равнотеже: Adjusts the relative level between the left and right signals of the stereo channel.
  • Прекидач за искључивање звука: Silences the channel's output.
  • PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch: Routes the channel's signal to the headphone output for monitoring before the fader.
  • Peak Level Indicator: Illuminates when the input signal is too high.
  • 60mm Volume Fader: Adjusts the overall output level of the stereo channel.

3.3 Dual Stereo Multi-Effects Processor

The MC-R8FX features two independent stereo multi-effects processors, each offering 205 high-quality programs. These processors are based on a 56-bit internal DSP with 24-bit conversion, providing versatile and clear effects for your audio.

  • Избор програма: Use the dedicated controls to select from the 205 available effects programs for each processor.
  • Подешавање параметара: Adjust specific parameters for each effect to fine-tune the sound.
  • Effect Send/Return: Route signals from channels to the effects processors via aux sends and return the processed signal to the main mix.

3.4 Master Outputs

  • L/R Master Outputs: These are the main stereo outputs of the mixer.
  • Level Indicators: Provide visual feedback on the output level of the L/R master mix. Adjust the master fader to control the overall volume.
