INPUTS
To adjust fade:
X
Press and then turn fader for the chosen input. The fade value appears at
the top of the Channel Settings screen during adjustment.
i
Channel # is OFF—with # representing the channel number (1-3)—will appear in
orange text across the top of the screen when an attempt is made to adjust gain
on a deactivated input. See Setting Input Source for more information.
To adjust trim:
1. Press the input’s fader.
2. Temporarily adjust fader level to 0 dB, the unity gain position.
3. Tap TRIM on Channel Settings screen.
4. Use the Headphone encoder to adjust the input’s Trim clockwise until
optimal level is achieved on metering and in headphones.
For inputs 1-3, analog mic level is adjustable from 0 dB to +70 dB of gain,
and analog line level is adjustable from -20 dB to +30 dB. For Aux In, mic
level is adjustable from 0 dB to +40 dB, and line level is adjustable from
0 dB to 20 dB. For the USB input, trim level is adjustable from 0 dB to
20 dB.
Adjusting Pan
The MixPre-3 has virtual Pan pots, which enable routing of inputs to the left (L)
and right (R) channels of the stereo Master Bus.
To adjust an input’s pan (1-3):
1. Press the input’s fader. The Channel Settings screen for that input appears.
2. Tap PAN, and then turn the headphone encoder to adjust value.
3. Press the encoder (or wait 2 seconds) to exit adjustment mode.
Configuring Linking
Adjacent inputs (1-2, 2-3) may be linked as standard LR stereo pairs. Inputs
1-2 may be linked as a Mid-Side (MS) stereo pair.
Linked inputs share a common fader. The virtual pan control of the odd input
controls the balance of both signals to the L-R track: left pans left channel, right
pans right channel.
For MS linked inputs, pan is disabled. The following illustration indicates which
physical controls are active and what those controls do when inputs 1 and 2 are
linked.
