Functions for 5.1-Channel Inputs
A 5.1 input channel has its own input routing setup accessible from the
CHAN
- Input
page, where every configured physical input can be routed to any of
the 5+1 individual channels. Each of these has its own ±18 dB
Cal
control,
and there is an additional
Master
calibration control common for all chan-
nels. The same high-quality processing features (EQ, dynamics, etc.) known
from the mono and stereo input channels are handled by one parameter set.
A 5.1 input channel’s fader controls all six individual levels.
Cal
The input level calibration value is indicated by the blue bar graph; the exact
value is displayed in dB and can be set in a ±18 dB range with the rotary en-
coder below. In order to calibrate the different inputs individually, first select
the channel to be adjusted with the
CHAN SEL
rotary encoder; the selected
channel is highlighted by a bright frame. If set to
Master
, all channels are
adjusted at a time.
6 x 6 Input Routing
If the input channels need to be swapped for any reason, this can be done us-
ing the
6 x 6 Input Routing
button field. When touching one of the
-L
,
-C
,
-R
,
-LS
,
-LFE
, and
-RS
buttons, a list pops up and allows routing the desired
input channel to the selected input, as shown above. If, for example, the
Left
input channel is routed to the left input, the corresponding button shows
L
. If
no signal (
None
) is, for example, routed to the left surround input, the button
shows
None -LS
.
