MIC AMP A total of 10 aux busses are provided ­ six mono sends and two stereo. Auxes 1 & 2 are switched as a pair to pre or Ghost's ProMic is the best mic pre-amp post-fade operation. Auxes 3 & 4 are post-fade, and can be switched as a pair from the main channel signal path to Soundcraft has ever produced with Mix B, making the latter much more than just a tape much lower noise in the low and mid return path. Another switch re-routes the signal from gain settings, high gain noise these two pots to aux sends 5 & 6. The two sets of postperformance equal to consoles many fader stereo sends, 7/8 and 9/10, are each controlled by a times the price and superior mid gain single pot, and follow the channel pan settings.

Its construction and rightsmooth for fine adjustment of level, angled mounting are such that dust and dirt falling even at high gain.

Smoothness, musicality, and ease of use are qualities that appeal to engineers who use classic Soundcraft designs such as the 3200 and Europa ­ the same qualities are to be found on Ghost. setting of 25Hz, delivering precise control over the full filter range. Thanks to custom-designed pots, there's no `squeezing' of range as you twist them all the way round (where a small movement of a pot near the end of its travel produces a bigger change in EQ than near the middle) ­ response remains even. The two mid bands are supported by LF and HF shelving filters, each with up to 15dB of cut or boost. Operating at 60Hz and 12kHz, they are perfectly placed to roll off or enhance the most important low and high frequency components without interfering with and muddying the mid bands. Whilst they complement the two mid bands perfectly, the frequencies chosen, and the wide range of those two mids, means that when the HF and LF bands are switched into the Mix B channel path, both channel signal paths are equipped with practical EQ facilities. [. . . ] Transport Controls Control timecode sent out by Ghost. LTC Timecode (Master) Mode Ghost uses its own internal SMPTE generator as a timecode reference for mixing. It also sends out SMPTE from its SMPTE Out socket. This mode would normally be used with a tape machine that can chase timecode, but does not have specific transport control support.
