Enabling Clean Feed
The Gray|328 allows you to send a fader's audio cleanly through the
mixer without any additional effects applied. This is quite useful for
making dubs.
Notes
Before you can turn Clean Feed on, you must assign inputs to the desired
fader. For more information on assigning inputs to faders, see “Making
Fader Input Assignments” on page 53.
Input Trim still functions while in Clean Feed mode. If you wish to
maintain a unity path by using Clean Feed, you must also ensure that the
input level gain is set to 0dB. See ”Trim” on page 73 for more information.
If the Clean Feed inputs are coming in to the mixer via a sample-rate-
converted (SRC) input module the SRC should be bypassed on that
module to achieve a clean bit-accurate feed. See “Adjusting the AES-
SRC Input Module“ on page 47 for more information.
When Clean Feed is enabled, the following occurs:
•
The fader can no longer be used for gain adjustment and the audio
level is set to unity.
•
The unity indicator for the fader is turned on.
•
The Master Fader no longer effects fader channels in Clean Feed
mode.
•
The pan pot is no longer active and the audio balance is set to even.
•
All equalizer settings are disabled.
•
All dynamics settings are disabled.

•
The Program button for the fader works normally.
•
The Preset button for the fader works normally.
•
The Select button for the fader works normally.
•

When Clean Feed is disabled the following occurs:
•
The fader functions normally again at its current position.
•
The pan pot functions normally again at its current position.
•
Any audio effects (EQ, Dynamics) that were present are restored.
