74.3. Channel gainAll the SMAC input channels have accessible input sensitivity GAIN (2) controls.These controls have the function of compensating for differences of level existing between thesound sources connected to the table.The gain controls have a variation margin of ±15dB (channels 1-2) and ±20dB(channel 3).

Channel equalizationInputs 1 and 2 are provided with a 3-way tone control (6-7-8) of wide range ofoperation, -30 to +10dB for bass and treble and –25 to +10dB for medium. This wide rangeenables a progressive KILL effect instead of the sharpness of the ISOLATOR switch (11).Channel 3 is provided with a conventional two-way tone control with a ±15 dB range.4.5. Long-life Crossfader with VCA.The addition of the Voltage Controlled Amplification (VCA) control to the fineness,precision and mechanical strength of the crossfader has resulted in an operating life greaterthan 300,000 operations.
