Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual Onyx 24•4 House of W orship In a House of W orship application, the Onyx 4•Bus provides plenty of Aux Sends for stage monitors, stereo in-ear monitoring, and assistive listening systems.

11 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual 5 . H IG H E Q This control gives you up to 15 dB boost or cut at 12 kHz, and is flat at the center detent. Use it to add sizzle to cymbals, and an overall sense of trans- parency or edge to the keyboards, vocals, guitar , and bacon frying.
1 ONYX 4•Bus ONYX 4•Bus down to the lowest note you ever heard. “Peaking” means that the frequencies around the center fr equency are less affected by the EQ the further away they are.

15 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual Matrix, Compressor , and Metering Section tantly , auto-gain compensation that provides the ap- propriate amount of makeup gain based on the amount of compression taking place. The following knobs and switches are used to control the compressor .
16 ONYX 4•Bus ONYX 4•Bus 8 . C O M P AS S IG N Use this switch to assign the compressor to either the MAIN MIX, GROUP 1-2, GROUP 3-4, or OFF (not assigned). When the compressor is assigned to the MAIN MIX, it is inserted in the signal flow after the MAIN MIX fader , so it works as an external dynamics processor .
17 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual signal trickling out will read, you guessed it, 0 VU on its meters. So when is 0 VU actually 0 dBu? Right now! Mackie mixers show things as they really ar e. When 0 dBu (0.775 V) is at the outputs, it shows as 0 dB VU on the meters.
