self who operates the console.

1.3.1 INPUT CHANNELS
Microphones
Three 100mm faders controlls 4 dynamic micro-
phones.
The Fader#3 manages the inputs MIC-3
and MIC-4. When using these inputs, use two mi-
crophones of the same make and model. The
possible difference in level between different
voices is compensated by an internal compressor,
which acts on the MIC inputs.
Lines
Solidyne MiniMixer has
two stereo inputs for line
signals: an analog line input (TRS) and a USB port
for direct connection to a computer.
Phone lines
Up to two phone lines can be handled. A conven-
tional land line (2 wires) and a mobile phone,
which is linked to the console via Bluetooth. Man-
aging the phone lines is easy as many functions
are automated.
1.3.2 MONITORING and CUEs
Up to
4 headphones
can be connected to the rear
panel. If headphones with built-in volume control
are used, the use of a headphone distributor can
be avoided.
Tally light:
When the on-air light is connected, the
HEADPHONES # 1 output becomes an output for
monitor speakers, as it is muted when the micro-
phones are activated on the air, to avoid coupling.
Preview
(CUE) allows the operator to dialogue
with the lines and listen to signals before they go
on the air.
A
talk-back
microphone allows you to speak pri-
vately to each phone line, or speak to the headset.
1.3.3 OUTPUTS
The MiniMixer generates
two mixes
. The main
mix, PROGRAM (PGM) is sent to the PGM out-
puts and USB (for streaming). USB sends digital
audio to the computer, freeing up its onboard
line input for other uses.
A special output sends the
microphone mix
, al-
lowing microphone recording while the console
is still on the air.
An
insert point
allows you to connect an exter-
nal processor to process the program signal
that is sent over USB.
