Dynamics
(1)
Compressor GR Meter - Compressor (Comp) Gain Reduction Meter
(Range -1 dB to – 23 dB).
(2)
GATE GA Meter -
Gate Gain Attenuator Meter Range (-1 dB to -34 dB).
(3)
SEL Comp - Selects the compressor setting for the selected channel.
(4)
ON -
Turns the compressor on for the selected channel.
(5)
SEL Gate - Selects the gate setting for the selected channel.
(6)
ON -
Turns the gate on for the selected channel.
(7)
Mode - Selects the mode of the compressor (Corrective, Adaptive,
Creative and Vintage) or gate (Gate or Ducker).
(8)
Attack -
Controls the attack settings of the gate or comp.
(9)
Hold - Controls the hold value of the gate. Hold is the amount of time
the gate is open until the release part of the gate starts.
(10)
Release -
Controls the release characteristic of the gate and comp.
(11)
Range/Ratio - Range relates to the gate and controls the amount of
signal allowed to pass when the gate is closed. This is useful on drums to
allow some of the dry drum sound through when the gate is closed.
Ratio relates to the comp. With a ratio setting of 3:1 for every 1 dB above
the threshold point the signal will be turned down or compressed by 3 dB.
(12)
Threshold - Adjust the point at which either the gate opens, or
compression starts to take place.
(13)
Knee - Changes the compression knee setting (Hard, Medium or Soft).
(14)
Make-Up - Adds gain to the compressors output. This allows you to
balance the levels of the compressor when on and off by increasing the
make-up gain to match the amount of gain reduction taking place.
(Range 0 dB to 24 dB).
(15)
Sidechain Frequency - Set the frequency that the sidechain of the gate
or comp listen to in order to give tighter control of a certain range
of frequencies.
(16)
On -
Turns the sidechain of the gate or comp on/off.
(17)
Listen - Sends the selected sidechain frequency to the solo bus for
monitoring and to give accurate adjustment of the frequency.
(18)
Width -
Changes the width of the sidechain for the gate and comp
(0.1 Oct, 0.3 Oct, 1 Oct and 2 Oct).
Phones
(1)
Phones A -
Level control.
(2)
Phones B - Level Control.
(3)
Phones A -
Mute button.
(4)
Phones B - Mute button.
Talk
(1)
Talk Gain -
Adjust the gain of the surface Talk Mic input.
(2)
Talk Mic - XLR input for local talk mic.
(3)
Talk INT (Internal) -
Allows the talk mic to be sent to the internal talk
bus. For example, it can be used to send your talk mic into a channel to test
signal flow.
(4)
Talk EXT (External) - Allows your local talk mic to be routed to the Ext Talk.
(5)
OSC INT - Activates the oscillator on the selected internal bus.
(6)
OSC EXT - Sends the oscillator to the Ext Talk bus. This can be used to send
the oscillator to a channel if required by patching the Ext Talk out in the
monitor patching page to a channel.
Config
HD96-24 Basic Operation
(1)
Meters - 12 LEDs Stereo input meters display signals
from -35 dB to 20 dB.
(2)
Link -
Links the currently selected input channel to the next input.
Note outputs always link odd to even, i.e. Aux 1 to 2 etc.
(3)
Talk - Send the talk bus to the select channel.
(4)
Gain -
Adjust the gain of the input channel pre-amp.
(5)
Trim - Adjust the trim level for inputs -40 to 20 dB or for Aux,
Matrices and Master Busses -12 to 6 dB.
(6)
HPF -
High Pass Filter (HPF) control with a range from 10 Hz to 10 kHz.
(7)
LPF - Low Pass Filter (LPF) control with a range from 40 Hz to 20 kHz.
(8)
Dir Mute -
Mutes the direct out of the currently selected channel.
(9)
Insert - Switches on the insert point on the selected channel.
(10)
48 V -
Activates 48 V phantom power on the selected input channel.
(11)
Ø - Polarity Switch. Changes the polarity of the selected channel by
180° (often inaccurately called phase reverse as the button only
inverts polarity).
(12)
HPF on -
Activates the HPF.
(13)
LPF on - Activates the LPF.
Equaliser
(1)
On - Turns the Equaliser on for the selected channel.
(2)
Gain - Each band has +- 16.2 dB of range.
(3)
Frequency - Each band as a frequency range of 16 Hz to 25 kHz.
(4)
Width - The width or Q of an EQ band can be changed from 0.3 to 5.3.
(5)
Shape - Changes the shape of Band For inputs the shape options include,
Bell, Bright, Classic and Soft. For outputs the Shape button has Shelf,
LP 6 dB, LP 12 dB and Bell modes.
(6)
Shape - Changes the shape of Band For inputs the shape options include,
Bell, Deep, Classic and Warm. For outputs the Shape button has Shelf,
HP 6 dB, HP 12 dB and Bell modes.
