ONYX 1200F

ONYX 1200F

10. METERING Select and Indicators

Press the METERING Select button to toggle the four 

meter options. The three METERING LEDs, along with 
the channel 12 meter, indicate the metering option cur-
rently selected for the Onyx 1200F.

Note:

 The METERING Select button works in both 

Standalone Mode and when the Onyx 1200F is con-
nected to a computer.

The four options are:

 

IN-A:

 With this setting, the front panel meters 

display the levels for the 12 analog inputs, just after 
the A/D converters. This allows you to visually con-
firm with each meter’s OL LED that the input signal 
is not overloading that channel’s A/D converter.

 

OUT-D1:

 This setting displays the ADAT A digital 

outputs on channels 1-8, and the 2-channel S/PDIF 
and AES/EBU outputs on channels 9-10. Channel 11 
is blank, and channel 12 has one LED lit to indicate 
that ADAT A is being metered.

 OUT-D2:

 This setting displays the ADAT B digital 

outputs on channels 1-8, and the 2-channel S/PDIF 
and AES/EBU outputs on channels 9-10. Channel 
11 is blank, and channel 12 has two LEDs lit to 
indicate that ADAT B is being metered.

 

OUT-A:

 This setting displays the analog outputs as 

follows: 
•  The eight analog line-level outputs on  
 

channels 1-8. 

•  The mono-summed levels of the four analog  
 

phones outputs on channels 9-12.

11. SAMPLE RATE Select and Indicators

Press the SAMPLE RATE Select button to toggle the 

six sample rate options (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 
kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz). The six LEDs indicate the 
sample rate currently selected for the Onyx 1200F. The 
selection can also be made in the Onyx 1200F Console 
(on the PC or Mac).

Note:

 The SAMPLE RATE Select button only works in 

Standalone Mode. When the Onyx 1200F is connected to a 
computer, make sure the sample rate setting in the Onyx 
Console and the DAW application match.

12. FireWire Indicator

This LED illuminates when a valid FireWire connec-

tion is made between the Onyx 1200F and a computer.

13. MIDI Indicators

The MIDI IN LED flashes whenever there is MIDI ac-

tivity on the MIDI 1 and MIDI 2 IN connectors, and the 
MIDI OUT LED flashes whenever there is MIDI activity 
on the MIDI 1 and MIDI 2 OUT connectors.

14. TALK TO PHONES Level Control

The talkback feature allows the engineer to communi-

cate with the talent through the PHONES [8] outputs, 
using a microphone connected to the TALKBACK MIC 
[23] connector on the rear panel.

Use this knob to control the level of the talkback 

signal being routed to the PHONES outputs. You should 
start with the TALK TO PHONES level control turned 
down, and then slowly turn it up until you get confirma-
tion from whoever is listening to headphones that they 
can hear you. Once you have set the level, you can leave 
it there for the duration of the session (or the gig).

15. TALK TO PHONES On/Off Switch

This switch turns the talkback mic on and off. It is 

a momentary switch, so you need to keep the button 
pressed while you talk. When you let go of the button, 
the talkback mic is off, and the indicating LED next to 
the switch turns off. This feature is duplicated by the 
TALKBACK FOOTSWITCH [33] on the rear panel. 

16. OUTPUTS 1-8 Level Control

Use this knob to adjust the signal level of the eight bal-

anced line-level outputs on the DB-25 connector on the 
rear panel. It ranges from off (

) to unity gain (MAX).

Tip:

 This is handy when using the eight 

line-level outputs for surround sound mix-
ing because it gives you a single master vol-
ume control for all the surround outputs.
