CHANNEL 1 AND 2
The Gold Channel has direct access to all primary functions on the mic-
preamp for each channel:
Input gain encoder: Sets the analog input gain along with the PAD button.
Everytime you change the input level, the Gain page will pop up, so you can
read the exact input gain.
Input: Selects between Microphone, Line-level and Digital input. Every time
you change the input, the Signal page will pop up to help you view the
Input/Output status of the machine. If you select Digital input, you must
select what digital format to use on the Signal page.
PAD: Attenuates the input signal by 0, 20, 40 or 60 dB before the analog
input gain encoder. (60 dB is shown when 20 + 40 dB LED’s is ON)
Note: Set PAD range in the Utility display to get access to 60 dB PAD

before the Locut filter. When the Active led is blinking, the soft clipper is
working on your input signal.
