The 'COMP' knob on the microphone channel provides simple, effective compression. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the compression amount. The adjacent LED will illuminate to indicate when compression is active. Compression helps to smooth out dynamic peaks and valleys in your audio, making it sound more consistent.

7.3 Applying EQ

Use the 'EQ' (High and Low) knobs to shape the tone of your microphone signal. Turn the 'HIGH' knob clockwise to boost treble frequencies or counter-clockwise to cut them. Similarly, use the 'LOW' knob to boost or cut bass frequencies. Experiment to find the desired sound.
