3.5. Inputs control.
Each input has an associated rotary encoder with
pushbutton and an activation/routing key (ON). If the
rotary encoder is turn, the mix gain to the selected bus
is altered for that input, between mute (-infinity) and
+18 dB. The level bar at the display shows an
indication of this level.
The ON buttons allows the user to select which bus the
associated input will be sent to. When it is off, pressing
it will turn the button RED-illuminated, indicating that
the input is sent to PROGRAM transmission channel.
One more pressing and the key will be illuminated in
GREEN, indicating that the channel is sent to COORDINATION transmission. If it is pressed
once again, it will be off again, and the input will only be available locally in the CUE pre-listen
bus.
The selection is cyclic for each input:
When several inputs have their ON button illuminated in the same color, they will be mixed
(each source according to the selected mix level) to the selected bus (PROG, COORD or CUE).
When the encoder button is pressed, access to the associated input’s configuration menu is
provided. Here the user can configure the corresponding gain, equalization (bass/treble),
activation of the 12V Phantom supply and in the case of MIC4 / LINE input, the user will also be
able to select which input is used (microphone 4 or the line input at the right panel).
WARNING: DO NOT turn Phantom power on or off for a microphone unless the Microphone
Gain is set to minimum. Depending on the microphone model and its specifications, the
negative of observing this procedure may result in very high level and high pitched noise that
could be routed to the units communication buses and the headphone outputs.
The corresponding input encoder can be used to navigate within the menu, or alternatively, the
"NAVI / Ch" rotary encoder can also be used. The "BACK" option in each menu or the "ESC /
DEL" key can be used to cancel and go back.
