The nominal inputs levels for each input can be adjusted using the Ch "x" Gain option in the

HOT TIP!
The individual level of the audio for each of the 4 mixer inputs (post fader) can be monitored
on the first AUDIO menu (status screen). This permits seeing the ratio of the 4 inputs in the
mix shown on the main SEND bargraphs.
A visible clip indication is also provided. If clipping occurs, the word "Clip" will be
displayed for that channel. If clipping occurs you will need to change the Ch "x" Gain
setting for the input that is clipping.
