Besides Stereo/Mono, Phase L und Phase R the settings of the Hardware Outputs have further
options:
Level.
Sets the reference levels of the 8 analog Line outputs. The
available settings are -10 dBV, +4 dBu and HiGain.
FX Return.
The effect signal (Echo and Reverb) is mixed to the
respective hardware output by the duo knob/small fader.
Talkback.
Activates this channel as receiver and output of the Talkback
signal. This way Talkback can be sent to any outputs, not only the
Phones in the Control Room section. Another application could be to
send a certain signal to specific outputs by the push of a button.
No Trim.
Sometimes channels need to have a fixed routing and level,
which should not be changed in any case. An example is the stereo
mixdown for recording of a live show. With
No Trim
active, the routing to
this output channel is excluded from the Trim Gains function, therefore is
not changed unintentionally.
Loopback.
Sends the output data to the driver as record data. The corresponding submix can
be recorded then. This channel’s hardware input sends its data only to TotalMix, no longer to
the recording software.
Another difference to the input and playback channels is the
Cue
button instead of Solo. A click
on Cue sends the respective Hardware Output’s audio to the
Main
Out, or any of the Phones
outputs (option
Assign / Cue to
in the Control Room section). With this any hardware output can
be controlled and listened to through the monitoring output very conveniently.
25.3.2 Equalizer
A click on EQ opens the
Equalizer
panel. It is available in all input and output channels, and
affects all routings of the respective channel (pre fader). The panel includes a low cut and a 3-
band parametric equalizer which can be activated separately.
EQ.
Activated by the EQ button.
Type.
Band 1 and 3 can operate in peak (bell) or shelf
(shelving) mode. The middle band is fixed to peak mode.
Band 3 can also operate as
Hi Cut
(low pass filter),
especially useful for LFE and subwoofer purposes.
Gain.
All three bands can change their amplification
b20 dB to -20 dB.
Freq.
The center frequency of the filters is adjustable
between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. While in peak mode the center
frequency is adjusted, in shelf mode the cut-off point (-3 dB)
will be changed.
Q.
The Quality factor of the filter is adjustable from 0.7
(wide) to 5.0 (narrow).
Lo Cut.

6, 12, 18 and 24 dB per octave. The cut-off point (-3 dB) is adjustable between 20 Hz and 500
Hz.
