12.4 VCA option

 

The SX-V modules can be mounted with VCAs instead of plain faders. A DB25 computer type connector allows 

control of the VCA with an external DC voltage (for example a video editor). The control voltage ranges from 0 to 5 
volts. When used with an external controllers, the faders must be positioned at 0dB.

13. TIPS ON USING YOUR MIXER

 

  

The SONOSAX SX-S has been designed to ensure unsurpassed performance. However, bear in mind that a good 
sound recording greatly depends on the dynamics.

 

We thus recommend the following: 

 

{

Adjust the input gain level at maximum level BEFORE overload, that is with a modulation level between 
0dB and +6dB on the modulometer (PFL ON)

 

{

Input faders should be between 0dB and +10dB.

 

{

Output faders should be below maximum.

 

{

Preferably operate at highest possible levels at the first amplification stages or at the mic pre-amp levels.

 

{

Make sure that interconnection between the SONOSAX SX-S and other equipment is correct and optimal.

 

{

Optimize operating conditions (location, quality of mic) rather than using the equalizer.

 

{

Avoid operating with filter at maximum.

 

{

Switch off unused input modules and make sure that the gain potentiometer is on MIN.

  

Considering the extensive possibilities offered by your SONOSAX SX-S, this instruction manual may not answer 
all questions that may arise during operation of your equipment.

 

Please contact your nearest SONOSAX dealer for any further nformation.

 

NOTE:

 The specifications mentioned in this manual apply to standard models. SONOSAX SA reserves the right to
