Three, fully equipped stereo input channels
• One Phono and one Line Input for each channel.
° Inputs are unbalanced RCA.
° Be sure to connect each turntable ground to the Phono GND terminal.
° PHONO/LINE source switch selects the Input for each channel.
• ±12 dB input GAIN trims:
° Adjust for +0 dB on CUE Meter.
• Left/Right, constant-level PAN controls:
° The loudness stays the same in the room as you Pan left to right.
• 3-band, full-cut tone controls:
° +6 dB boost to full-cut (off).
° 2
nd
-order Linkwitz-Riley filter topology.
° Low-Mid crosspoint is 300 Hz.
° Mid-High crosspoint is 4 kHz.
• EQ engage switch
° Allows “transform” EQ effects.
• DRY/WET Pan controls:
° Use to split signal between DRY (no effect) and WET (FlexFx loop).
° See
FlexFx Loop
section for details.
• A-POST-B Crossfader assignment
° Input channels are assignable to A-side, B-side or Post-Crossfader.
° See
Advanced Cue Selection
section for automatic “Flash-Cue” operation.
Auto-Gain Switch
• Monitors channel-1, -2, and -3 input signals and automatically adjusts the input gain.
° Level is monitored at the Cue point:
After PHONO/LINE source selection
After GAIN trim
After EQ
Before the channel Fader
• Enable by setting the Input 1-2-3 Auto-Gain switch to the “
in
” position.
° Green indicator will light.
°
Auto-Gain is engaged for all three channels or none.
• Target Level: 0 dBu = No gain change.
• Threshold: –16 dBu
° Minimum level required for Auto-Gain operation.
° If the signal is below –16 dB, the gain holds indefinitely.
• Ratio = 3:1
° 3 dB increase or decrease in input level results in 1 dB increase/decrease in output level.
• Turns the gain down at a rate of 32 dB per second.
• Turns the gain up at a rate of 5.33 dB per second.
• Auto-Gain increase or decrease is monitored by the Cue meter system:
° Set A-CUE-B switch to CUE position.
° Select the desired Cue source.
° Set SPLIT CUE switch to “IN” position.
° Set CUE/MASTER Pan to center position.
° Set meter CUE/MAIN source switch “IN” to CUE.
° Level before Auto-Gain is shown on the left meter.
° Level after Auto-Gain is shown on the right meter.
• Set the Input GAIN trim so that normal input levels result in 0 dB on the meter with or without Auto-Gain engaged.
