Chapter 8: Inputs and Input Routing
69
To adjust input gain from the encoders:
1
In the Encoder Assignment section, press the Gain switch to
assign gain control to the channel encoders.
2
Rotate an encoder to adjust gain on its channel.
To adjust input gain from the ACS:
1
Select one or more channels to target them in the Channel
Control section of the ACS.
2
Press the Input switch in the Channel Control section.
3
Gain (with Gain Guess) is assigned to the first encoder in the
Channel Control section. Adjust the gain by turning the as-
signed encoder.
To adjust input gain using Gain Guess:
1
Press and hold the assigned Gain encoder (input channel
encoder, or Channel Control encoder 1) while receiving an in-
put signal. The LED flashes to indicate level sampling.
2
Release the rotary encoder. Gain will be set so the incoming
signal reaches 0 dB peak (if Peak mode is selected) or 0 dB RMS
(if RMS mode is selected).
Setting Right Offset on Stereo Channels
On stereo Input Channels and FX Returns, the Gain control
affects both the left and right channels. The Right Offset fea-
ture lets you offset the gain of the right channel relative to the
left channel by –20 dB to +20 dB, within the overall gain lim-
its.
To adjust stereo channel gain offset from the console:
1
Select one or more channels to target them in the Channel
Control section.
2
Press the Input switch in the Channel Control section.
3
Adjust the Right Offset encoder.
To adjust channel gain offset for a stereo channel on-screen:
1
Go to the Inputs page and target the stereo channel.
2
Adjust the right channel gain using the on-screen Right Off-
set encoder.
Stereo Level Offset Indication
The Stereo LED below the channel meter flashes when the dif-
ference in signal level between the left and right channels is
12 dB or greater.
Pan/Balance
Pan adjusts channel pan (for mono Input Channels) and ste-
reo balance (for stereo Input Channels and FX Returns).
To adjust channel pan/balance from the encoders:
1
In the Encoder Assignment section, press the Pan switch to
assign pan/balance control to the rotary encoders.
2
Adjust the channel pan/balance by turning the assigned ro-
tary encoder.
To balance stereo signals from the ACS:
1
Select one or more channels to target them in the Channel
Control section of the ACS.
2
Press the Input switch in the Channel Control section.
3
Rotate the
Balance
encoder.
Stereo Width
Width adjusts the stereo image of stereo input channels and
FX returns by controlling ganged pan positions of the left and
right channels, in opposite directions.
Width can be adjusted from full L–R, to mono, to full reversed
L–R. Width controls are not available on mono channels.
To adjust width of stereo signals from the ACS:
1
Select one or more channels to target them in the Channel
Control section.
2
Press the Input switch in the Channel Control section.
3
Rotate the Width encoder.
To adjust width of a stereo channel on-screen:
1
Select one or more channels.
2
In the Inputs page, adjust width by turning the on-screen
Width
rotary encoder. Turning the encoder clockwise moves
the width to full stereo, and counter-clockwise moves the
width to reverse stereo. The center position represents mono.
