Inputs Menu
The Inputs menu allows you to access Channel 9 and 10 screens, and the
Aux In Mode settings, which lets you congure how the Aux/Mic In 3.5mm
connector is used.
Selecting Input Sources for Ch. 9 & 10
Similar to Channel screens for 1-8, input sources for channels 9 and 10 may be
selected from their screens.
Options are:
• Channel 9: Aux In 1, USB 1 or O
• Channel 10: Aux In 2, USB 2 or O
L From these screens, you may also solo, arm tracks, adjust gain, pan, low cut, and
set linking.
Configuring Aux In Mode
Congure the Aux/Mic In connector from the Inputs menu, by tapping Aux In
Mode and selecting one of the following options:
• Mic: Select this option when the Aux/Mic In is to be used with a mic. The
MixPre-10T provides bias voltage for PiP (plug-in-power) mics.
• Line: Select this option when the Aux/Mic In is to be used with an
unbalanced 2ch line source, such as smartphone headphone output, stereo
line source, etc.
When either the Mic or Line options above are selected as the Aux In Mode,
they are available as input sources to any channel by selecting Aux In 1 or
Aux In 2.
• Camera: Select this option when the Aux/Mic In is to be used for
monitoring a video camera’s audio output via the MixPre-10T’s headphones
and camera return (C1/C2) meters located on meter view 3.
This is particularly useful when you want to use the MixPre-10T to
drastically improve the sound quality recorded on the camera. It is common
knowledge that camera mic inputs are not of high quality so by connecting
your mics to the MixPre-10T instead, then connecting the MixPre-10T’s L/R
outputs to your camera audio input, you will achieve far superior sound
quality. Then by connecting the camera’s audio output to the MixPre-10T’s
Aux/Mic In, it allows you to check that the camera audio is noise and
distortion-free.
When this option is selected an additional setting appears in the Input Menu
called Camera Gain. This lets you adjust the gain of the incoming camera
