3.4 ON AIR
3.4.1 Microphones
Figure 5: Main faders
MiniMixer supports direct connection of
up to 4
dynamic microphones.
MIC 3 and MIC 4 inputs
share the same fader.
The
MASTER MIC
button enables all microphones
to air, and activates the Air Light output.
The microphone mix is internally compressed.
The
compressor
works when the signal reaches
0VU. When microphones are connected to the
MIC 3 and MIC 4 inputs, it is important that the
MIC 3+4 channel signal reaches 0VU, so that the
compressor works and compensate differences
in the level that may occur between the different
voices.
The action of the compressor is shown on the
MIC COMP indicator.
3.4.2 LINES
The
USB/LINE IN
fader manages the USB digital
input when the computer is connected. But if USB
is not connected, this fader manages the signal
from the
LINE IN
input.
When USB is connected, the
LINE IN
input can
also be used as an alternative input, from the tele-
phone line controls (PHONE) that allow switching
between PHONE and LINE IN, to take advantage
of this channel when the hybrid is not used. In this
way the 4 microphones, the 2 stereo lines and the
Bluetooth can be on air.
To send
USB/LINE IN
to air, lift up the fader di-
rectly. The correct level of work is obtained when
the peaks reach 0VU.
USB/LINE IN can also be prelistened, with the
fader closed, by pressing the CUE button located
above the fader.
USB SEND
Remember that the USB connection generates a pro-
gram signal sending to the computer, which is used to
generate streaming for the Internet.
3.5 Recording the mics
MiniMixer has an additional feature that allows to
record the microphone mix on the computer at
the same time as audio is broadcast on the air
from that same computer.
The MIC REC output provides
the microphone mix
(post compressor) that
is available even when the
mic channels are turned off
.
