Vistonics Detailed Monitoring Display
To see more detailed information about the AKG Microphones, the Input section of the channel strip can
be zoomed by touching the Input touch eld at the top of the strip.
Three special Vistonics elds are added to the zoom view of channels that are patched to AKG-associated
connectors, giving more detailed information of RF level (bargraph and numerical signal strength in dB),
Battery level (bargraph icon plus numerical readout of remaining battery life in hours), and the internal
gain of the microphone.
Note that this information is display-only, there is no control possible over the AKG microphones, other
than the Locate button. Note also that the input gain control of the Vi microphone input preamp will be
automatically set to 0dB gain and is not available for control on channels that have AKG microphones
assigned.
The display of internal Gain of the AKG microphone differs according to the type of microphone system
being monitored (Note: this cannot be controlled from the console – it is a display of the microphone’s
internal parameter only!)
