[. . . ] The EQ's on British consoles from the 60s and 70s are what many engineers believe does their sound the best justice. When it comes to tweaking your sound, they're kind, gentle and above all, musical. It's like drinking a fine scotch instead of fortified wine--or maybe receiving a warm hug instead of a kick to the crotch. British EQ's distinct configuration of wider curves/lower Q and harmonic phase characteristics allows you to add or subtract EQ more generously than you can with conventional EQ circuit designs. [. . . ] This section also includes AUX SEND jacks for connection to monitors, CD/TAPE input and output jacks, and FX send/return jacks for use with outboard effects processors. Directly below, you'll find the ¼" headphone/ control room out jack.

A phantom power switch located on the back near the main power switch accommodates condenser mics. Each mono channel has a 3-band EQ with semi-parametric mids (giving you control of the Mid level and a sweepable frequency with a boost or cut of 15dB) and a Trim control for adjusting input gain via a Level Set LED. A Low Cut button eliminates the frequencies where unwanted infrasonics such as mic handling noise occur. The eight AUX dials control the volume of the AUX SEND ¼" output Page 3 of 5 signals (more on that below). Stereo channels feature the same functions, but a with dual ¼" inputs and a different EQ. Instead of sweepable mids, stereo channels feature High Mid and Low Mid dials, both with bell center frequencies set at 8 kHz and 800 Hz, respectively.

(Stereo In section) EIGHT LINE IN-ONLY CHANNELS, Left and right balanced/ unbalanced line level ¼" TRS inputs (stereo channels 25/26, 27/28, 29/30 and 31/32). Master AUX SENDs 1-8 to external effects devices or monitor speakers. Page 4 of 5 Near every mono channel's fader you'll find a 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 andMAIN button. Twist the PAN control all the way to the left to assign it to Sub 1, or all the way to the right for Sub 2. The same principle applies to the 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8 buttons. STEREO AUX RETURNs inputs return effect signals from external effects processors. A Mute button with accompanying LED cuts the signal from the channel, and a Clip LED helps you dial in a distortion-free postEQ signal. The Solo button on individual channels routes the subgroup signal to the solo bus or Pre-Fader Listen--depending on whether the signal has been included in a subgroup.
