MIC/LINE INPUT CONFIGURATIONS
From the main menu, enter the inputs configuration page by touching the [INPUTS] key. A new screen is
posted, displaying the actual configuration of the input channels as illustrated below.
Each input channels of the analogue mixer can be configured individually; active (enabled) functions are high-
lighted in blue.
Touching a region (in a square) calls a specific sub menu to configure the channel's parameters.

The above example shows a typical "mixer configuration" where the final mixing is done on location and the
input channels are recorded "Pre Fader" for back-up purposes:
- Input channels 1 to 5 are powered On; input channel 6 is powered Off to save on batteries
- Input channels 3 to 5 have the 48V phantom are turned On
- The Polarity of Input channels 5 is reversed.
- The Threshold level of each Limiter is indicated individually.
- All input channels are sent PRE Fader to the recorder [REC]
- Input channels 1 & 2 are assigned to the Mix Bus [MIX] through the [PAN] pot.
- Input channel 3 is assigned to the Left mix bus; channel 4 to the Right mix bus, [PAN] is disabled
- Faders of channels 3 & 4 are linked as stereo pair, Fader 4 controlling channels 3 & 4
- Input channels 5 is assigned in the centre [C]; equally to the Left and Right mix busses, the [PAN] is disabled
The following example shows a typical "Recorder setting with rough mix"; the channels are sent Post Fader to
the Recorder, the Faders are used to control the recording level to optimize the S/N ratio and the resolution
over the entire dynamics range on the recorded tracks. In this case the analogue mix is recorded as a rough
mix only for editing purposes.
Input channels 1 to 6 are powered ON
48V Phantom is enabled on each input
No polarity reversal is active
The Limiter Threshold is set to -3dBFS to make use of
the full dynamic range. They protect the A/D Converter
leaving only 3dB of Headroom
Channels 1&2 are individually controlled by their own
fader
Channels 3&4 are linked as stereo pair , controlled by
fader 4
Channels 5& 6 are a M/S pair, controlled by fader 6, the
M/S signal is decoded
All channels are assigned on the mix busses
