MAYA44 XTe

DirectWIRE
: opens the DirectWIRE dialog, described in section 6.5 of this manual.
Help – About
: allows you to check current driver information.
6.2 Input Section
Monitor buttons
: with this button you can enable the input monitoring for the corresponding input
channel. When enabled, the input signal is audible via the output.
Line/Mic/+48V/Digital selection
: by default, input channel 1/2 is processing the stereo line input
signal coming in from
INPUT 1/2
(when
LINE
is selected). However, it can also be switched to
process the mono input signal from a microphone connected to MAYA44 XTe as described in
chapter 5 of this manual – for that,
MIC
must be selected. If a condenser microphone that requires
power supply is connected, the
+48V
switch must be enabled to enable phantom power. Note that
+48V
should be enabled only after a condenser microphone has been connected. Never enable
+48V
when a dynamic microphone or no microphone at all is connected to MAYA44 XTe. Input
channel 1/2 can also process the digital input signal from the coaxial S/PDIF input of MAYA44
XTe. For that,
DIGITAL
must be selected.
Line/Guitar selection
: by default, input channel 3/4 is processing the stereo line input signal
coming in from
INPUT 3/4
(when
LINE
is selected). However, it can also be switched to process
the mono input signal from a guitar connected to MAYA44 XTe as described in chapter 5 of this
manual – for that,
GUITAR
must be selected.
Gain knobs
: as the output level of a microphone typically is very low and requires amplification,
the gain knobs allow you to control the built-in amplifier in order to raise and match the input signal
in order for the signal to be further processed. The range is from 0dB to +24dB amplification. The 2
gain knobs are not available under Mac OS X, instead the level faders (below) are longer.
Level faders
: these faders allow you to adjust the input level for the analog input 1/2 and 3/4. The
levels can be set using the mouse, mouse wheel, or cursor keys. Depending on the
Link
setting
(refer to section 6.1), you can control left an right channels simultaneously or independently.
Mute buttons
: this button allows you to mute the input signal on channel 1/2 or on channel 3/4.
When the button is red, mute is enabled – otherwise disabled.
6.3 Output Section
Mix buttons
: with these buttons it is possible mix the output 1/2 and 3/4 signals to each other. This
is especially important if you want to listen to the same signal played through only one channel pair
on both outputs, especially with headphones connected to one of the outputs. When
Mix
is enabled,
the blue arrow will display that the signal is transferred to the other channel.
Mix level knobs
: controls the level for mixed signal to adjust the level that you wish to send to the
other channel. Make sure not to confuse the mix knobs with the gain knobs in the input section.
Level faders
: these faders allow you to adjust the playback level for the analog output 1/2 and 3/4
signals. The levels can be set using the mouse, mouse wheel, or cursor keys. Depending on the
Link
setting (refer to section 6.1), you can control left an right channels simultaneously or independently.
