4.1.2. Mixer control window.
Also at the right side, the "MIX" button opens a window where all parameters of the ALIO mixer
can be controlled: level and gain for all inputs, input routing, tone adjustments, MIC4 or LINE IN
selection, output routing and level, etc.
Audio can be controlled in real-time from this screen, alternatively or in parallel with the unit
front panel, from the control PC, that can be located either at the side of the unit or remotely.
MIC1, 2 and 3 input channels feature the following controls:
-
Send assignments: allow the user to select which bus the corresponding input is sent to
(PROGRAM, COORDINATION or CUE). These buttons are mutually exclusive, and when
activated, they will be filled in the color assigned to the corresponding bus (red, green or
blue, respectively), as well as the input amplifier symbols in the General view, allowing for a
quick identification of the inputs routing at a glance.
-
Mix fader: allows adjustment of the corresponding input mix to the selected bus between
mute and +18dB. The selected value is shown below the fader, at the right of "PH" button.
-
Tone controls: bass and treble, permitting an adjustment between -12 and +12dB,
individually for each input.
-
"PH" (Phantom) button: activates or deactivates Phantom supply (12V / 10mA) for the
corresponding microphone.
-
Gain: clicking this button opens a window to control the gain of each preamplifier in a range
from 0 to +65dB (for microphone inputs only).
MIC4 and LINE IN inputs are mutually exclusive, what means that, once the bus send
assignment is changed from one of them, the other will become inactive.
