-Double click on it to set to 0 dB.
-Select it (changes fader color from yellow to blue) and turn your mouse wheel for setting it numerically
in 0.5 dB/step.
-Set the fader gain numerically on the box.
DUCK. By-pass switch with activity led. Click on the activity led for direct ducker setup.
ON-OFF switch. This is the main channel switch (also known as mute switch)
SOLO. This switch
makes a solo
of the channel by switching off (muting) all the other channels. This feature is
used to isolate the channel in order to verify the system in a test procedure and for that reason it is not used
normally when the system is operating. When using the processor as a microphone mixer, this button can be
helpful to make a brief channel solo, for example for the presenter messages, so reducing the need to attenuate
other microphones so loosing the relative fader positions.
NOTE. Use this button carefully.
IN-01 Name label of the channel. Click on this tab to a quick launching to the INPUT DETAIL panel.
LINK This switch will make both channels operate as a single channel in terms of set up all the parameters
except the pre-amp that can be set individually. When making a pair in
link
mode, the EQ, gate, cmp and fader
definition of the even channel will be lost and replaced by the odd one properties. Conversely when setting in
individual mode by clicking on the
link
again, the Eq, gate, cmp and fader definition will remain unchanged.
7.2.2 INPUT DETAIL Panel
This is the main input panel for individual adjustments.
CHANNEL NAME. Select ...to personalise the channel names. Allowed an 8 character name.
BUTTONS 1 TO 12. Selection of the channel
DUCKER Sets the ducker active and selects the a priority level for that channel. See Configuration bar.
Pre-Amp Section
CONNECTION. This button selects the pre-amp chosen for each channel. By default each channel is assigned to
its same pre-amp but it is possible to patch a pre-amp to many channels. See the block diagram.
NOTE When a channel is patched to another pre-amp, the gain setting could have been made before from another input channel setting having the same
pre-amp patched. The MAP has 12 pre-amps so 12 pre-amp settings.
OSCILLATOR. This switch enables the oscillator disconnecting the channel from the patch CONNECTION. Set the
oscillator level and mode in the configuration>oscillator tab.
PHASE. Changes the relative phase of the signal.
+48V. Sets the phantom power ON.
CAUTION.
PHANTOM POWER Check carefully the setting of the phantom power because standard devices as CD players, etc. does not manage it and
could be damaged. Check front panel
+48V led indicator. Phantom power is used for some professional microphones an ancillary audio equipment.
GAIN. Sets the pre-amp gain from 0 to +54 dB in 1 dB steps.
This pre-amp design allows the use of MIC and LINE signals in the same connector and with no additional PAD
or attenuator.
LINE PRO signals. For a better result, set the gain at 0 dB. This set would allow for maximum
signal capability of the pre-amp: + 20 dBu max input signal with no clip.
NOTE For a better noise results, set the gain to +1 dB. Maximum input signal reduces to +13 dBu
LINE CONSUMER signals. Set it to any gain level. Typical set at +10 dB
MIC dynamic microphones. Set to the required gain. Typical set +25 to +40 dB
MIC condenser microphones. Set to the required gain,. Typical set +10 to +25 dB
NOTE. Pro signals are found on professional XLR balanced outputs. Nominal levels ranges from 0 to +4 dBu or more.
Consumer line signals are normally found on players and devices with cinch/din connectors with nominal levels of around -10 dBu. When connecting to
earphones outputs from computers or other players, set the gain as in PRO signal to avoid pre-amp distortion.
