Limited One Year Warranty
This product is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase by the original owner. To ensure a high level of performance and reliability for which this equipment has been designed and manufactured, read this User Guide before operating. In the event of a failure, notify and return the defective unit to ALLEN&HEATH Limited or its authorised agent as soon as possible for repair under warranty subject to the following conditions
Conditions Of Warranty
1. The equipment has been installed and operated in accordance with the instructions in this User Guide 2. [. . . ] The power is current limited through 6k8 ohm resistors to pins 2 and 3.
WARNING: Do not connect unbalanced sources or cables to inputs with phantom power selected. To avoid loud clicks always mute the channel before switching +48V on or off and when plugging or unplugging microphones.

GAIN Adjusts the input sensitivity to match the connected source to
the internal 0dBu operating level of the channel. Provides a variable 50dB range from +10 to +60dB gain (mic), or -10 to +40dB (line, pad selected). The gain should be set using PFL so that the console meters average `0' with loudest moments lighting `+6'. Reduce gain if the red peak indicator lights.

EQ A 4-band semi parametric EQ provides independent control of four frequency bands. HF and LF are shelving filters which affect high frequencies above 12kHz, and low frequencies below 80Hz respectively. HM and LM are bell shaped peak/dip filters which affect frequencies around a centre point which can be swept from 500Hz to 15kHz and 35Hz to 1kHz respectively. All bands can be boosted or cut by up to 15dB and have a centre detent 0dB position.
Check for the best microphone selection and placement before using the EQ. Start with the EQ set flat and apply only as much boost or cut as is really needed. When dealing with problem frequencies cut rather than boost where possible.

AUX SENDS These rotary controls adjust how much channel signal is mixed to the aux outputs. Factory default settings should satisfy the most common applications:
AUX1, AUX2 = Pre-fade AUX3, AUX4 = Switched pre/post using PRE swittch AUX5, AUX6 = Post-fade Pre-fade aux = Pre-INSERT, pre-EQ, post-MUTE

These settings may be changed if preferred by repositioning internal jumper link options. They offer many different combinations of pre and post-fade sends, and a post-EQ option for the pre-fade sends. In most cases users also prefer that the monitor sends are not affected by inserted processors or the channel EQ. Post-fade aux sends follow the channel faders and are typically used to send a proportion of the channel signal to an effects device such as reverb or delay. Pre or post-fade sends may also be used for special applications such as recording, zone feeds, clean feeds and aux fed subs.

PFL Press PFL to listen to the pre-fade channel signal in the headphones or AB monitor (if configured) without affecting the main outputs. The red PK indicator half lights to show that PFL has been selected on that channel. [. . . ] It prevents the channel EQ and inserted compressors affecting the monitor mix. Move the jumper from A to B to change this to post-insert, post-EQ if preferred. Post-fade is appropriate when using the output as a direct channel effects send.
