Channel Controls:

9. Line/Mic Gain Control - This controls the sensitivity of the input signal of the Line/Microphone input.

10. High Frequency Control - This control is used to give a shelving boost or cut of ±15 dB to high frequency (12 kHz) sounds.

11. Middle Frequency Control - This control is used to provide a peaking style of boost and cut to the level of middle frequency (2.5 kHz) sounds at a range of ±15 dB.

12. Low Frequency Control - This control is used to give a shelving boost or cut of ±15 dB to low frequency (80 Hz) sounds.

13. Low Cut Filter (75 Hz) - This button, located on channels 1 through to 4, will activate a low-cut / high-pass filter that reduces all frequencies below 75 Hz at 18 dB per Octave, helping to remove any unwanted ground noise or stage rumble.

14. EFX Control - The EFX control alters the signal level that is sent to the EFX mixing bus, which makes its way to the built-in Digital Effects Processor and is in-turn sent through the EFX send output

15. Pan / Balance Controls - This alternates the degree or level of audio that the left and right side of the main mix should receive.

16. Level Control - This rotary control will alter the signal level that is sent from the corresponding channel to the main mixing bus.

17. Peak Indicator - This LED indicator will illuminate when the device hits high peaks, 6 dB before overload occurs.

18. +4 / -10 Switch - This button, located on all stereo channels, is used adjust the input sensitivity of the corresponding channels, which will adapt the AM440DP to external devices which may use different operating levels.

25. Phones Control - This control is used to adjust the audio level to Phones outputs (to be used in conjunction with headphones for monitoring).

26. Main L-R Control - This 60mm fader is final level control for the main left and right audio feed, sent to the Main L and R outputs.

27. Level Meter - The AM’s stereo 4-segment level meter gives an accurate indication of when audio levels of the MAIN L/R output reach certain levels.

28. Power Indicator - The Power Indicator will light up when the power of the mixer is on.
