Mix-12
Channel Strip
Each channel strip is composed of several items (from top to bottom):
TRIM
rotary fader
Pre-fader input meter
BUS
key
PFL
key
EQ
key
CH

LINEAR
fader
Each channel strip is permanently assigned to a specific recorder channel as follows (and cannot be changed):
Fader

Analog Input 1
2
Analog Input 2
3
Analog Input 3
4
Analog Input 4
5

Table 3-2 Mix-12 Fader - Channel Association
You can assign digital inputs 5 through 8 to the rotary faders on the Deva/Fusion.
IMPORTANT:
You must ensure all channels controlled by the Mix-12 are
NOT
assigned to the rotary faders
on your recorder. Faders are assigned in the
Faders
page (
MENU
key
>
Faders
button
> Fader Assign
button
).
Trim rotary fader
The
TRIM
rotary fader can attenuate up to 20 dB or boost up to 30 dB. The limits of attenuation and
amplification are controlled by the combination of the recorder and software. Rotating the fader counter-
clockwise reduces the pre-fader audio and rotating the fader clockwise increases the pre-fader audio.
The actual amount of amplification or attenuation can be seen on the
Input (#)
page on your recorder.
Pre-fader Input meter
This meter consists of a series of 18 LEDs. This meter is placed in the signal path after the
TRIM
rotary fader and
before the
LINEAR
fader, thus it shows the contribution of the
TRIM
rotary fader only. To see the effect of the
LINEAR
fader, view the
Home
page on your recorder. To get the best possible signal, the input should read
between 0dB and +6dB.
In the
Home
page and
Cue
page, pressing the “M” key toggles the Mix-12 metering between pre-fader input bus
metering and disk mix metering.
NOTE:
The PFL illumination is inverted whenever the Mix-12 is not metering the pre-fader analog input bus.
NOTE:
The Mix-12 metering mode is not saved when powered down. The Mix-12 default setting of metering
the pre-fader analog is always used when first powered up.
