METER MODE
BAR: Peak reading VU display
DOT: Single dot display showing peak level.
PEAK : As BAR, but the highest signal level LED will remain lit for a short period to provide a clearer
UPFADE CURVE
The curve of the channel faders can be set to Sharp, Mid and Gentle. Choose a setting that best suits
the style of music you play.
ADVANCED SETUP MENU
RECORD SETUP
Trim: Sets the signal level of the analogue record
outputs and the Digital Output. 0.0dB corresponds to a
nominal output level of +4dBu when the main meters
read 0VU. This is an ideal level to feed power amplifiers
or interface with pro audio equipment, but is too high
for most recording devices, (minidiscs etc) so use this
control to attenuate the output level by up to 40dB.
Source: There are three options available; Mix, Cleanfeed, or Phones.
Mix: Sends the same signal to the record out as to the main mixer outputs,
Cleanfeed: Sends the Mix output less the signal from the Mic channel.
Phones: Sends the headphone monitor signal.
The Digital output will also be affected by any routing changes made here.
XFADER SETUP
The xfader can be set to be either PRE or POST FX. For instance if a channel is routed to a Delay
effect:
•
if set to PRE , and if the channel is crossfaded out, the effect ‘tail’ will decay into the mix.
•
if set to POST , and if the channel is crossfaded out, the output of the effect unit will be cut along
with the channel audio.
SOFT RIAA
When set to On, a software RIAA preamp is applied to the selected channel (1 or 4). This will give
sufficient gain and equalisation to play vinyl straight into these channels. As this is a software gain system,
the channel may exhibit a slightly higher noise floor if compared directly to the channels with a hardware
preamp (channels 2 and 3). This raised noise floor will not be noticeable once the vinyl is playing.
When set to Off, normal line level signal can be played through the channels.
