The 2T Return jacks are ¼” inputs. The input can be either balanced or
unbalanced signal. The purpose of the 2T Return is so that external equipment
(such as analogue tape machines, CD Burners, A/D Converters, Etc.) can be fed
back to the Nicerizer 16’s monitoring system to be monitored on the headphone
output jack on the front panel. The 2T Return does not return the signal to the
bus.
Main Outputs:
There are 2 x Main output XLR’s Labelled Output L and R. These provide access to the 2
mix busses which are transformer-balanced Outputs driven by our Class A, Discrete
DSOP-2 Output stages, and can be used in either balanced or un-balanced mode. These
outputs can also be chained to any number of pieces of external equipment as long as
total loading does not exceed 600R.
Front Panel:
Pan Controls
The front panel has 2 rows of Pan controls numbered 1 - 16 associated with the
Input XLR’s on the rear panel. Each channel is individually controlled and can be
panned From Left to Right, and anywhere in between.
+8 dB Push-button switches
Between the rows of Pan controls there is a row of Push-button switches marked
+8. Each switch is associated with an individual channel, and pressing a switch
will add an additional gain of +8dB to the input of that channel.
Monitor Selector Switch (Rotary)
The monitor Selector switch is a 12 position switch that selects pairs of channels for
monitoring purposes Eg: 1 and 2, 3 and 4 Etc. It also allows monitoring of the main L
and R outputs, Pre-Fade signal, Auxiliary Output, and 2T Input. Monitoring is achieved
visually by the LED meter, and is also available on the Auxiliary Output Jack sockets on
the rear and Output Jack socket on the front panel.
Front Output Jack Socket
The
¼
” TRS Monitor output jack is used to monitor individual channels (mono), stereo
channels (channel pairs), The Auxiliary Output, 2T Return, Pre-fade level and the Main
Output. The Monitor Jack Socket is capable of driving directly into headphones but is
also capable of driving external monitoring equipment or studio talk-back style systems
Etc.
