Output
The O UTPUT section is an output stage with active P AN control. A double
Mono signal is produced from the Mono input signal which is available via
the balanced and unbalanced outputs. The output signals can be fed to two
insert returns on the mixing desk, a recorder or a stereo effects processor.
The active P AN control determines the balance between the left and right
output channel. Unlike the passive pan-pot on cheaper mixing desks, the
EQ MAGIX active P AN control is able to compensate for losses in loudness
of up to around 3 dB. P AN control also proves useful if output signals are
being looped into insert points on the mixing desk where the user wants to
split the Mono signal actively into two Mono signals for further processing
on the mixing desk, which should have different levels on the insert return.
The output peak levels (PPM values) are indicated on the LED display. The
levels are indicated in steps of 3 dB from -18 dB to + 9 dB.
The F ADER switch converts the P AN control to a F ADER function. The level is
not altered when the potentiometer is set in the centre position. A attenua-
tion of around -50 dB is possible on both sides of the control setting.
This function is useful to compensate an increase in level compared with
the input signal, which may have been caused due to processing in the
P ARAMETRIC and V ITALIZER sections. On the other hand, a variable output is
also useful to prevent overdriving units located downstream.
The M UTE function switches the EQ MAGIX outputs off. Similar to the
M UTE functions of a mixing desk channel, muting can be performed when
recording a signal directly from EQ MAGIX on to a R-Dat or the like after
the recording has taken place, without the level settings having to be
changed.
