SQN Mixing is my job on set and thus I have been doing some research to figure out the best way to do this.
IDEAL POSITION:
The ideal position for the SQN sound control wheel is between 10-12 O'clock as this gives limited amount of background chatter and noise with an optimum amount of clear direct sound.
BUTTONS:
Gang switch OFF!
Limiter (WHITE) switched to Manual mode (This controls peaks and gives a smooth roll off)
Attenuator (UNDER WHEEL) Off
