25.3.1 Settings
A click on the tool symbol opens the channel’s
Settings
panel with differing elements. For ex-
ample the option Inst exists only in input channels 3-4, and the ADAT channels do not offer the
phantom power option.
Stereo.
Switches the channel to mono or stereo mode.
48V.
Activates phantom power at the corresponding input. Serves as
power supply for high quality condenser mics. This option should stay off
with other sources to prevent failure by spikes.
Inst.
Switches inputs 3 and 4 individually to Instrument (Hi-Z) mode.
Gain (1-2).
Sets the gain for the four front inputs. The knob can be ad-
justed by dragging the mouse or by the mouse wheel. This also works
when the mouse has been moved over the two gain displays. Then the
gain can be changed separately for left and right channel, even when the
channel is in stereo mode.
Gain (3-8).
Additionally to the reference level setting, Line inputs 3 to 8
have an adjustable gain option from 0 dB to +12 dB.
Level.
Sets the reference level individually for the Line inputs. The avail-
able settings are +13 dBu and +19 dBu.
AutoSet.
Activates an automatic gain reduction preventing overloads caused by too high gain
settings. See chapter 19.2 for details.
Width.
Defines the stereo width. 1.00 equals full stereo, 0.00 mono, -1.00 swapped channels.
FX Send.
Setting the level of the signal sent to the FX bus which feeds Echo and Reverb. The
current setting is also visible with closed channel settings, because knob and small fader are
always synchronized. To make this function as useful as possible FX Send is locked to the high-
est submix, thus imitating the
Aux Post Fader
function of a standard mixing desk. When moving
the big fader both knob and small fader will also move. This way the reverb signal will always
have the same relation to the dry signal.
The level of the signal sent to the effects can be controlled by the
FX In
level meters of the FX
window. It becomes visible after a click on FX in the View Options.
MS Proc.
Activates M/S processing within the stereo channel. Monaural information is sent to
the left channel, stereo information to the right.
Phase L.
Inverts the phase of the left channel by 180°.
Phase R.
Inverts the phase of the right channel by 180°.
Note: the functions Width, MS Proc, Phase L and Phase R affect all routings of the respective
channel.
