• AUX: Controls the level of the signal sent to the AUX output (e.g., for stage monitoring).
• FX: Controls the level of the signal sent to the internal effects processor.
• PAN: Pans the channel signal between the left and right stereo outputs.
• MUTE: Mutes the channel output.
• PFL (Pre-Fader Listen): Sends the channel signal to the headphones for monitoring before the fader.

The Powermake 600 includes two UHF wireless microphones. To use them:

1. Insert 2 AA batteries into each microphone (not included).
2. Turn on the microphones.
3. Press the SYNC button on the mixer's wireless receiver section to automatically synchronize the microphone frequencies.

Note: Both wireless microphones operate on Channel 1 of the mixer and share its tone controls. Individual EQ adjustments for each wireless microphone are not possible.
