Don’t worry, it’s easy to swallow as long as you take it a bite at a time. A “+4” mixer, with a +4 dBu signal pouring out the back, will actually display 0 dB on its meters. A “–10” mixer, with a –10 dBV signal trickling out, will also display 0 dB. At the risk of creating another standard, Mackie’s compact mixers address the need of both crowds by calling things as they are: 0 dBu (0. 775V) at the output shows as 0 dB VU on the meters. (By the way, the most wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. ) MAIN MIX FADER As the name implies, this stereo fader controls the levels of signals sent to the main . The outputs: XLR and TRS MAIN OUT TAPE OUTPUT RCA jacks also receive the main mix, but before the MAIN MIX Fader.

Although the “SET THE LEVELS” section of “QUICK START” (page 5) will get your levelsetting tasks accomplished, using the meters in PFL SOLO mode lets you really tune in. Instead of one flickering LED, you can make use of the 12-segment VU display in the meters. Signal before the fader If you have a channel’s fader set well below “U” (unity gain), SOLO won’t know that and will send a unity gain signal to the PHONES output. That may result in a startling level boost in your headphones. 48v POWER STATUS LEFT RIGHT CLIP 22 10 7 4 2 0 2 4 METERS The CFX mixer’s peak metering system is made up of two columns of twelve LEDs each, with thresholds ranging from –30 dB up to , “CLIP” (+22 dBu at the TRS MAIN OUT +28 dBu at the XLR MAIN OUT).
