Front Panel Description
a Mic Input Meters should be self-explanatory. They are meters with an averaging logarithmic filter. The only quirk to these
meters is the Mute condition when only the Limit indicator and no others is illuminated.
b Edit buttons are provide a quick and convenient way to get to the Edit page for the individual Mic Inputs.
c LCD Display which displays Edit Pages.
d DATA wheel. Allows adjustment of the underlined parameter after it is selected with the Page (see e) and Cursor (see f)
buttons. Turn the DATA wheel clockwise to increase the parameter, turn it counterclockwise to decrease the parameter.
e Page buttons. The Previous Page << and Next Page >> buttons scroll through all Edit Pages. When the EXE button is
pressed and held and MAX >> is pressed, the selected parameter jumps to its highest or to a larger value (see g).
f Cursor buttons. When pressed, the Previous < and Next > Cursor buttons move the cursor through each of the adjustable
fields on each page. These buttons select each adjustable parameter along the bottom row by moving the underline cursor left
< or right >. When any parameter is selected, the DATA wheel adjusts that parameter. When the EXE button is pressed and
held and MIN > is pressed, the selected parameter jumps to its lowest or to a smaller value (see g).
g EXE (Execute) button. Several commands are implemented with this button. Pressing EXE when the Copy, Paste and
Load # commands are underlined executes that function. Holding down EXE while pressing MAX >> alters the selected
parameter to its highest or higher nominal value. Holding down EXE while pressing MIN > alters the selected parameter to
its lowest or lower value or Off.
Pin 1 and Chassis Grounding
All XLR pin 1s on the NM 84 connect directly to the chassis metal via the XLR jack case itself. (Thank Neutrik for provid-
ing both a female and a male XLR jack which provide manufacturers with this function.) While viewing the XLR jacks, the
lower right screw next to each jack provides the chassis connection. Keeping these screws tight ensures optimal shielding and
electromagnetic interference performance.
