Channel Controls
Each channel can be controlled from the front panel, from a remote Mac
or PC, or via Pro Tools using the optional remote control software.
u
By default, the unit powers-up with all functions locally controllable, and
with all settings & switch states fully recalled as they were at power-down.
u
The unit is powered by the silver switch with the Neve logo, which will
light red once the power is on.
Front panel control is available on each input for:
u
48V
: Turns on Phantom Power to the Mic (not available for LINE)
u
-20
: Pad, attenuates the incoming Mic signal by -20dB (not available
for LINE)
u
LOW Z
: Impedance for Ribbon Microphones (not available for LINE)
u
MIC/LINE
: Selects between the Mic or Line input.
Lights yellow when MIC is selected; unlit for LINE.
u
Ø
: Swaps the incoming phase of the Mic or Line signal.
u
INS
: This selects the source for the A/D in the FireWire expansion
module if fitted. When illuminated, allows an external Insert Pre- the
A/D of the expansion module.
Turning the Gain control will vary the gain as shown in the display
beneath.
The Gain level is not related to the actual position of the knob, which will
infinitely rotate.
u
The
MIC
gain control runs from +20dB to +70dB in 5dB steps.
u
The
LINE
gain control runs from 0dB to +20dB in 5dB steps.
Just beneath the Gain control are two leds that indicate:
u
Signal Presence (lights green at approx -30dBu or greater)
u
Signal Overload (lights red at 2dB below clipping)
u
The metering point is Post- the Gain stage.
u
Maximum signal level is 26dBu.
u
The Gain knob also has a push-switch which will only function if the unit
is attached to an AMS Neve Genesys console where it is used to
interrogate console control settings.
