Introduction Introduction DSP Effect: Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip Contents in this Operation Manual The Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip (“Channel Strip” for short) is a multi-effect that combines compression and EQ. Advanced sound engineering know-how is condensed into a number of presets that can simply be recalled as required for professional results. Four channel strips are provided, and each can be assigned to the monitor sound only, or to both the monitor and recorded sound.
Panel Controls and Terminals (Details) Panel Controls and Terminals (Details) Rear Panel 1 DC IN 12V For connection to the AC power adaptor. 2 Grounding screw For connection to a ground wire. If you have a problem with hum or noise, use this terminal to connect to ground. The noise may be reduced. 3 2TR IN (3.5 mm, stereo) For connection to a portable audio player. The input signal at 2TR IN flows only to MIX 1 (page 28), and not to the computer. 4 USB2.0 (USB port) For connection to a computer.
Panel Controls and Terminals (Details) 8 LINE INPUT 3/4 (phone type, balanced/ unbalanced) For connection to a digital instrument. You can select the input signal level of LINE INPUT 3/4 between “+4dBu” and “-10dBV.” Select “+4dBu” when connecting a professional audio device, and select “-10dBV” when connecting a consumer device. The default initial setting is “+4dBu.
