Input Adjust Menu
All controls affecting the signal at the input of the clipper are located here.
•
“Input Gain” -
which as noted earlier in this manual is the same as the
“Clipper Drive” control in a traditional, integrated processor
– sets the
amount of overall clipping. The default “unity” value of 12.5dB should be used
with processors whose insert point outputs are pre-attenuated by this amount,
such as Omnia.7 and Omnia.9. When using a processor with an output that has
not been pre-attenuated, this control should be set to +3.0dB as a starting point
with the final limiter or clipper drive on the processor feeding 9sg backed off as
much as possible. Again, you will want to back off the DRIVE to the limiter
and/or clipper on that processor and NOT simply adjust its post-clipper output
gain.
•
The “Balance” control can be used to compensate for a left/right channel
imbalance on the incoming signal.
•
The “Diversity Delay” control sets the amount of delay in the analog FM
composite signal so that it can be time-aligned to a corresponding HD-1 signal.
•
“Invert” reverses the phase of one or both input channels.
•
The “Channels” menu allows the left and right channels to be swapped, summed
together (mono), or permits either the left or right input to be placed on both
channels feeding the stereo encoder.
