QUANTUM W AUDIO INPUTS  

III.1

 

Location 

 
There are three MIC/LINE level audio inputs, switchable between LINE and MIC 
level, located on the front panel, one LINE level input on the right panel and a 

USB audio input/output on the rear panel. 

III.2

 

Technical specifications 

III.2.1

 

MIC/LINE level inputs 

 

All  MIC/LINE  level  inputs  are  electronically 
balanced  on  an  XLR  female  connector. 
These  inputs  are  switchable  between  MIC 
and  LINE  levels  via  software  (web  control 

or touch panel menu). 

 

 

It is possible to supply phantom power (48 

volts.)  to  each  input.  This  option  is 
configurable  by  the  user  from  the  touch 
panel or from the web page. 

 

The other four parameters that can be configured independently per audio input 
are

Compressor/Limiter. 

 

Automatic Gain Control. 

 

High Pass Filter. 

 

Gain Pad. 

 
Click  on  ‘Menu->Audio->Inputs’  and  select  the  input  to  change.  The  following 
configuration window will be shown:
