Switches in the Encoder section assign each of the following
parameters to the Input encoders:
Gain
Gain assigns the encoders to control input gain according to
the range available for this input (head amp gain for analog
inputs, digital gain for digital or line inputs). Pressing and
holding the encoder initiates Gain Guess, in which a nominal
input gain level is automatically set based on the incoming
signal.
Pan
Pan assigns the encoders to control channel Pan if the chan-
nel is mono, or stereo channel balance if the channel is stereo.
The indicator LED lights when the pan is at center.
HPF
HPF assigns the encoders to control the HPF corner frequency.
Pressing the encoder toggles the built-in HPF in and out of cir-
cuit. If the LED is lit, the filter is in circuit.
Send 1–2 to Send 15–16
These switches let you select one of two Aux sends in
odd/even pairs (Send 1–2 through Send 15–16).
With mono sends, the first press of the switch selects the
odd numbered send (1, 3, 5, or 7) and the second press selects
the even numbered send (2, 4, 6, or 8). The switch lights green
for the odd-numbered selection, or yellow for the even-num-
bered selection.
With stereo-linked sends, the first press of the switch con-
trols level for the bus pair, and the second press controls pan
for the bus pair. The switch lights green for level control, or
yellow for pan control.
Pressing an encoder toggles the send on or off. When the send
level is shown on the LED ring and the send is off, a single LED
lights. When the send is on, all LEDs light in a clockwise se-
quence from the lower left to the send level.
Flip to Faders
When enabled, the current encoder parameter is mapped to
the faders. It can still be controlled from the encoder row, so
the channel fader mirrors the setting.
Display
Source Switch
The Source switch in the Display section changes the Channel
Name display to show the source input that is feeding each
channel.
Input Channel LCD Displays
There are two Input Channel LCD displays, one each for
Inputs 1–8 and 9–16.
Each LCD provides two rows of data with six characters per
row, per input channel. The upper and lower rows let you see
more than one type of channel data simultaneously, such as
channel name in the lower row and Aux Send levels in the up-
per row. Data display depends on the current encoder assign-
ment.
Input Encoder Assignments and Values
The current encoder assignment, parameter or value is dis-
played in the top row of the input displays. There are two
states the top row can be in: Parameter Value mode and Pa-
rameter Name mode.
When necessary, the display abbreviates functions as shown
in the following table.
Select Switch
The Select switch on each channel is used to target the chan-
nel in the Selected Channel and/or Flex Channel sections, and
to include the channel in Multi-Select and Multi-Assign func-
tions. A lit Select switch indicates the channel is selected. The
name of the currently selected channel is displayed in the
Channel Name display and in the Selected Channel display.
When multiple channels are selected, the Channel Name dis-
play indicates which channel is the ACS target.
HPF (High Pass Filter)
Using Flip to Faders, it is possible to control send level from
the faders, and pan on the encoders. For information, see
Chapter 11, “Aux Sends.”
