ASM 5 Pattern Control
The ASM 5 provides infi nitely variable adjustments of the polar pattern characteristic
for each microphone from omnidirectional up to fi gure-of-eight. These adjustments
can be made remotely from the Atmos 5.1 and can be monitored while recording.
A pad reduces the microphone‘s sensitivity by -16 dB.
Monitoring
Both during recording and mixing the monitoring volume can be adjusted by the aid
of an electronic circuitry that ensures precise, coherent volume control of all six chan-
nels. The Monitor Volume control also sets the volume for headphones connected to
the front. The 5.1/Stereo switches determine which channels are monitored.
PPM Meters
The PPM meters display the levels at the output of each bus. Values range between
-48 dBu und +9 dBu and are displayed in steps of 3 dB.
