Scroll to the desired selection and press the right arrow button.
The final choice you need to make is which
I/O Template
to use. Here are the three
choices, and their significance:
Stereo I/O
– This would be the most common choice if your facility consists primarily
of equipment with stereo inputs and outputs, such as tape machines, CD players,
computers, etc. When this template is employed the setup wizard will configure the
inputs and outputs of the BLADE 3 as stereo signals and add these signals to the system.
If you choose this template, you can later on change some of your signals to mono if
necessary.
Mono I/O
– This would be the most common choice if your facility consists
primarily of monophonic equipment, such as microphones, phone systems, etc. When
this template is employed the setup wizard will configure the inputs and outputs of
the BLADE 3 as mono signals and add these signals to the system. If you choose this
template, you can later on change some of your signals to stereo if necessary. Please
note that if you have a lot of mono sources you may be tempted to use this template,
but you should also consider the rest of your audio equipment; you may actually still
have more stereo signal requirements than mono ones.
Custom
– This would be a tempting choice if you have a fairly even balance
between mono and stereo signals in your facility. However, if you choose this template
the setup wizard will not configure the BLADE 3 inputs, nor will it add input signals
to the system. With this template, you will need to create the signals for each input
connection.
Once all the choices have been made, the setup wizard will complete the configuration
process. The right side OLED display will indicate that the BLADE 3 is entering the system:
Once the BLADE 3 has joined the system its basic information will show on the OLED
displays:
When the front panel controls are idle for a while the OLED displays will show the
