MIXER
The mixer allows you to adjust the mixing percentage of the input channels on each output channel. The mixer is
accessible through the top command bar.
To exit the mixer, press the related button again.
The image below shows the graphic interface of the mixer.
The mixer is structured as a matrix:
• the rows feature the inputs related to the currently selected source;
• the columns feature the output channels belonging to the selected zone.
Within each output channel, identified by the colored border, the signal can be composed by clicking and dragging the
bar that indicates the percentage: this means that an input channel can go to one or more outputs.
Some use cases shown in the image above:
• if an input channel has been disabled (as the AN 6), the corresponding row in the mixer will be empty;
• if an output channel has been disabled (as the OUT 9), the corresponding column in the mixer will be empty.
• if an output channel is set in bridge mode (as the OUT 3 and OUT 5), the outline of the cluster will have two colors.
Remark:
by default the mixer has all sends at 0%.
Remark:
a negative percentage of a specific input channel contribution indicates a phase inversion on that contribution.
Remark:
each source has its own mixer that must be set. If a source is enabled but its mixer has not been set, a
warning message will be shown on the status bar.
Remark:
if the output channels are positioned on different zones, it is necessary to select the zone to which they
belong in order to adjust the mixer.
Remark:
if in the mixer there are unused input channels, or outputs that do not receive any contribution, a warning is
shown on the status bar.
WARNING:
an output channel can receive a sum of contributions greater than 100%. We strongly advise against it
because there is a risk of output digital clip.
A warning will be shown on the status bar.
