5 Processing
It is possible to process 32 channels in parallel. Every channel processing handles input, EQ,
dynamics and level.
Optional there is a Send module that behaves like an output router.
Now we will give you a global view of the power of the Sirius digital mixer. All hands on
possibilities described here can be found on the main screen of the system. Just like any
analog system.
5.1 Input processing and routing
The input signal can be processed as soon as it is converted into
the digital domain. But before you are able to actually change the
input signal it has to be assigned to a specific input module.
You can assign an input signal to a module by clicking on the input
area labeled N.C. (Not Connected).
Having done this you are presented with a list of all available
inputs to choose from. It is here that you decide which input
source is connected to which input module. This is a matrix type
of input selection that is very convenient and sources can be
selected in any sequence just the way you want it to be. These
settings can be saved for recall at any time.
When you are ready with selecting the input sources you need for the job, you can now trim
your input level with a range of 40 dB (-20dB to +20dB) by way of the input gain potentiometer.
This can be done on screen or on the gain motor potentiometer in the Super module, as is the
case with the phase reverse switch.
You can assign a stereo source to a module in the same way. The software recognizes that you
are assigning a stereo signal and subsequently connect these signals in stereo to a module.
The chart below here shows you all possibilities when dealing with mono or stereo signals.

The lowest knob activates the generator. This function overrides all other input selections and
provides you with your own selection of test signals. These selections are made in the Global
settings chapter that is discussed in one of the next chapters. For now it is good to know that
you can select out of Pink Noise, White Noise and a Sine wave.
