4.3 Nastavení zisku

Use the GAIN knob to adjust the input sensitivity for each channel. Set the GAIN so that the PEAK indicator lights only occasionally and briefly. If the input signal is too hot, engage the PAD switch to attenuate it by 26dB.

4.4 High-Pass Filter (HPF)

Engage the HPF switch (80Hz) to cut unwanted low-frequency noise, such as stage rumble or wind noise from microphones. This helps to achieve a cleaner mix.

4.5 One-Knob Compressor (COMP)

The MG16 features one-knob compressors on channels 1-8. Turn the COMP knob clockwise to increase the compression amount. This can add punch to drums, smooth out vocals, and make instruments sit better in the mix.
