7. INPUT EDIT MENU
To open the edit menu for the settings of an input, you have to press SHIFT + INPUTn, INPUTn
being the encoder corresponding to the desired input (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6).
Once in the edit menu for an input, and in one of its pages, you can obtain the same page for
another input by pressing SHIFT + INPUTm, INPUTm being the encoder for the new targeted input
The new edited values are activated in real time. You can cancel an edit operation, returning the
value before editing, by pressing SHIFT + CANCEL.
To exit the Edit menu and return to the main screen:

Press SHIFT + EXIT

Press SHIFT + INPUTn (the MUTE key of the input n currently edited)

Stay 2 minutes without operating any control on the front panel
The next pages show the full structure and options of the menu for setting inputs.
NOTES :
1. INPUTs 3, 4 5 and 6 are dual (MICRO/LINE), and feature additional setup menus
compared to inputs 1 and 2 (which are only LINE inputs):
o
High-pass filter (HP FILTER), with adjustable cut-off frequency between 50 and
150 Hz
o
TALKOVER: priority function of an audio input over other audio inputs
o
NOISE GATE. When this function is turned on, the input remains muted as long as
no signal exceeds the activation threshold of the NOISE GATE, rejecting the
background noise picked up by the microphone or the connected device
o
FEEDBACK SUPPRESSOR. It's an efficient system to reduce the risk of feedback
loops (audio feedback or Larsen effect) when a microphone source is near the
speaker(s) producing its signal, once amplified. When activated, this function
slightly shifts the incoming signal frequency on the affected channel before
sending it to the matrix mixer and then to the selected output. The shift is so slight
that it is barely noticeable to the listener, especially when it occurs in the frequency
range of the human voice. A few cycles (Hz) displacement is enough to greatly
increase the system protection against possible feedbacks.
