2-BUS-XT
: Front Panel Features & Benefits
01. LED METERING
[SIGNAL PRESENT LEDS PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: LED Metering.
Benefit: Verify audio is present on any of the 16 channel inputs- simplifies troubleshooting.
Tip:
,
LEDs will either be dark when no audio is present or green when signal is present.
They will not turn red for overload- because the
2-BUS-XT
has more headroom built
in than any D/A converter set to standard calibrations can output. Meaning you will
clip in your DAW before you ever get close to clipping the
2-BUS-XT
. The
2-BUS-XT
provides 6dB of headroom above full-scale output of a converter calibrated to the
industry standard of -18dBu per input.
02. MONO BUTTONS
[MONO BUTTONS PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: Switch inputs 1&2 and/or 9&10 from stereo to mono.
Benefit: Center specific instruments straight up the middle of your mix.
Example: If you have the kick drum on input 1, the snare on input 2, the bass guitar on 9 and
the lead vocal on 10, then the mono buttons could be engaged to send those four
elements straight up the middle of the mix.
Tip:
,
Want to drop your favorite EQ on the lead vocal? No problem. Simply patch it
between your D/A (or interface) to the EQ and into input 10. Boom! You’re processing
in analog, which means no latency that can cause phasing and other issues
while mixing. Many users are wiring the
2-BUS-XT
into a patch bay or a Dangerous
LIAISON® along with their converters to make for even easier integration of their
outboard gear.
