The setting of MIX and CH (channel) parameters,
combined with the selected Routing mode (see page 18-
19), should be carefully considered to match the
situation in which you use the M3000.
CH (Channel)
The Channel parameter selects which channels the M3000 are
using for Input. The three possibilities are:
Stereo (STE) - Signals on both Left and Right Input will be
processed.
Left Input (L) - Only the signal present on the Left Input will
be processed.
Right Input (R) - Only the signal present on the Right Input will
be processed.
MIX
MIX - 100%. The Mix parameter of all presets will be 100%,
meaning that no direct signal will pass through the M3000.
The BYPASS keys will in this case work as mute in this case.
MIX - MIX. With this setting you can combine the dry signal
with the effects. In this case the BYPASS key will work as a
dry/wet switch.
Note: When the Engines are set to Serial Routing, the Mix
parameter at Engine 1 will still be adjustable.
Status Bit
This selector changes the Channel Status bits of the Digital
Output between professional and consumer format. When AES is
selected, the M3000 will output the professional AES/EBU
standard, and when S/PDIF is selected, the M3000 will output
the S/PDIF consumer standard.
The default setting is AES/EBU but some Digital consumer
products refuse to accept this professional standard.
In that case change to the S/PDIF consumer standard.
Example: If you are using a non-professional DAT machine as a
receiver of the M3000 Digital Output, and you cannot make it
accept the Digital Input, change the Status bit Output format
from AES/EBU to S/PDIF.
Note: The different Status Bit standards do not affect the quality
of the Audio Output from the M3000.
Dither
The M3000 can output dither from 8 through 22 bit resolution to
off. The dither type is TPDF (Triangular Probability Density
Function).
The M3000 is using internal 24 bit resolution and 24 bit
A/D-D/A converters and dither is therefore only present on the
Digital Outputs. It is recommendable to avoid using dither until
the final stage of a production.
Usually you would put the finishing touch on your production
with a TC Finalizer. If this is the case dither should be applied
with the Finalizer - not the M3000.
