Level Control
The Level Control adjusts the level available at the front Output Jack Socket only.
Monitor selector Toggle Switch (Left/Stereo/Right)
The switch has 3 positions. L, R and Stereo. When the switch is in the L position
the Left signal being monitored via the Monitor Selector switch is sent to both sides of
the headphone at once (mono). Eg: Channel 1 sent to both sides of headphone. When the
switch is in the R position the Right Signal being monitored by the Monitor Selector
switch is sent to both sides of the headphone at once (mono) Eg: Channel 2 sent to both
sides of headphones. When the switch is in the Central position (stereo) The left signal is
sent to the left headphone, and the Right signal to the Right headphone (Eg: 1 on Left, 2
on Right), this also allows you to hear any mixing that may have occurred via the pan
controls across the two associated channels.
LED Level monitoring
The LED Level metering follows the monitor selector switch. Eg: If the Monitor
Selector switch is in position 1 / 2, the Left row of LED’s will show the input Level of
Channel 1(L), and the right row will show the input level Channel 2 ( R). This is
measured as the level after the input amplifier, and is the level being sent onto the busses.
When the monitor selector switch is set in the L/R position, the meter displays the level
being sent to the Output XLR’s. The LED Level indicator lights an LED as each
indicated level is reached. (-2, +4, +10, +13, +16 dB). Although the metering only shows
a maximum level of +16dB and the LED’s are Red, this in
NO WAY indicates that
the unit is clipping!!
The Nicerizer 16 is capable of delivering up to +26dB, way
beyond the capability of the LED Meters…….So, if you want a much hotter output, just
turn it up!!
Stereo Width Control and Toggle switch
The Stereo Width control is a Class A, Discrete, lossless-bass circuit that can be
used to control the perceived “width” of the stereo image. The control only affects
the output of the signal after the bus (it has no effect on individual channels before the
bus). The width control will alter the image from mono, round to approximately 25%
wider than the original image sent to the busses.
The stereo width toggle switch can be used to bypass the width control so that the control
has no effect on the stereo image regardless of its position.
Main Output Level Control
The Main Output Level control is used to adjust the Main Output Level of the unit on the
main Output XLR’s. The Output level can be seen on the Level LED Meter when the
Monitor Selector Switch is in the L/R position. Remember!! You can turn this control
almost all the way to it’s maximum position, way beyond the LED Metering Display’s
Capability, and still be sure that the Output will not clip! (The output can actually be
driven a10dB beyond the last Red LED before the output stages in the unit
“might” clip).
Illuminated Mains switch.
Switching this switch into the ‘ON’ position so that the Neon glows, has a profound
effect on the sound quality and gain of the unit. This is best left in the “ON” position for
normal use.
