4.1.3 Fat Channel: Dynamics Processing and EQ
The main function of the Fat Channel is to provide dynamics processing and
filtering for every input and output on the StudioLive. The rotary encoders work in
conjunction with the meters directly above them to adjust and display the dynamics
processing and EQ parameters. The Fat Channel’s processing section consists of
five parts: high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor, limiter, and parametric EQ. Each
can be turned on or off and controlled separately. The signal flows as follows:
Polarity Invert. Push this button to invert the polarity of the selected channel’s
signal (that is, to alter the polarity by 180°). The button will illuminate, indicating that
Polarity Invert is active. The Polarity Invert button can be used to correct audio signals
that are out of phase and are canceling/reinforcing each other.
Power User Tip: When recording with more than one open microphone, use
the polarity invert to combat phase cancellation between microphones.
Polarity Invert is only available on the 32/24/16 channels of the input bus.
