Input Channel Overview
A full description of the rear panel connectors is provided on page 16.
Input Channels 1 & 2
Input channels 1 and 2 feature balanced XLR-3-31-type and
balanced phone jack connectors, both with a nominal input
range of –60 dB to +10 dB. Individually switchable +48 V
phantom powering is supplied to the XLR connector. The
phone jack has priority over the XLR-type connector, so
when a phone plug is inserted, the XLR-type connector is
disconnected. The phone jack input can also be used with
unbalanced phone plugs. A TRS phone jack provides a
post-gain, pre-A/D-conversion insert point.
Input Channels 3 to 8
Input channels 3 to 8 are identical to input channels 1 & 2
except they do not have inserts.
Input Channels 9 to 16
Input channels 9 to 16 are identical to input channels 1 to 2
except they do not have inserts, XLR inputs, or phantom
powering.
Input Channels 17 to 24
Input channels 17 to 24 are identical to input channels 9 to
16 except they do not have analog input connectors, a pad
switch, gain control, or direct out. These input channels are
accessed through the digital inputs of the YGDAI slot. See
YGDAI Cards on page 223 for more information.
Stereo Input Channel (ST IN)
Apart from being stereo and having a balance control,
the stereo input channel has the same features as the
other input channels. One of three input sources can
be selected for the stereo input channel: analog phone
jacks, DIGITAL STEREO IN AES/EBU, or DIGITAL
STEREO IN COAXIAL. Input selection is made on
the D.in Setup page. See Digital Stereo In on page 221
for more information.
