6.2 Settings on the
X.8
While the
X.8
GUI allows complete access to the
X.8
configuration, some of these settings
can also be carried out on the front operating panel of the
X.8
device in standalone
operation even without the
X.8
GUI:
·
Configuration of the input and output amplifications
·
Unmute/Mute for the Line-Out channels
The front panel also provides the following:
·
ON/OFF switch disconnects the
X.8
from the external mains adapter
·
Two-digit display of the input and output amplification
·
Signal lamps to display the digital input and output levels
·
Mute status on Line-Out channels 1-2
·
Status of the phantom power supply to the Mic-In channels 1-4
6.2.1 Configuration of the input and output amplifications
To configure an input and/or output amplification, you first of all choose the corresponding
channel selector button -
OUT 1 - 2
,
MIC / LINE IN 1 – 4
or
LINE IN 5 – 8
. The respective button of
each channel lights up blue to confirm. At the same time, the two-digit number display shows
the amplification factor set for this channel. By turning the control knob (
LEVEL
) the input
and/or output amplification is adjusted immediately. The settings are always saved in the
device.
The Line-Out amplifications in the range 0 to 99 are displayed with negative prefixes in dB
thus displaying an attenuation. As the Line-Out amplifications can be set in increments of 0.1
dB, the front panel display shows the Line-Out amplification factors rounded off to the next
whole dB-increment, although its actual amplification setting has 0.1-dB precision. Settings
can only be made on the front panel with 1-dB precision.
Depending on the setting of the source for the input channels (see section 6.1.4), for this
channel, either the microphone amplification factors can be set in the 0, 10, 11, ..., 65 range
in dB or the Line-In amplification factors 0, 9, 15, 18 in dB.
The full scale level references for the Line-Out channels can only be set in the
X.8
GUI (see
section 6.1.3).
