All mic channels have a 100 Hz low cut filter to reduce stage vibra- tion, mic stand rumble, and wind noise. Each channel includes a Pre-Fader Solo switch.  Channel EQs are as follows: 12 kHz shelving HIGH frequency EQ, sweepable peaking Midrange EQ (only on mono input channels), with a 100 Hz to 8 5.0"/127mm kHz bandwidth. Stereo channels employ a 2-stage fixed-frequency MID EQ, HI-MID is centered at 3 kHz; LOW-MID is centered at 400 Hz; and a LOW EQ that is

Similarly, the fader’s long- wearing contact material (first designed for use in 15.7"/399mm 4.6"/117mm 2.1"/53mm exterior automotive sensors) means longer fader life (continued from page 1) and improved resistance to the elements.
