AD Input Section
AD Input #1 is shown at the top; AD Inputs #17 and #18 below.
A +48V ON/OFF switches (AD 1–16)
These switches turn on and off the +48 V phantom power feed to each INPUT A
(XLR-type connector). Phantom power is typically used to power condenser-type
microphones or direct boxes. See “Phantom Power (AD 1–16)” on page 53 for
more information.
B PAD switches (AD 1–16)
These switches turn on and off the 26 dB pad (attenuator) for each AD Input. See
“Pad (AD 1–16)” on page 53 for more information.
C GAIN controls
These controls adjust the gain of the AD Input Head Amps. They have an input
sensitivity of –16 dB to –60 dB or +10 dB to –34 dB when Pad is on. AD Inputs 17
to 24 have an input sensitivity of +10 dB to –34 dB. See “Gain” on page 53 for
more information.
D PEAK indicators
These indicators light up when the input signal level is 3 dB below clipping. See
“PEAK & SIGNAL Indicators” on page 53 for more information.
E SIGNAL indicators
These indicators light up when the input signal level is 20 dB below nominal. See
“PEAK & SIGNAL Indicators” on page 53 for more information.
F INSERT ON/OFF switches (AD 1–16)
These switches are for turning on and off the AD Input inserts. See “AD Inserts
(AD 1–16)” on page 54 for more information.
Channel strips
Channel strip #1 is shown here.
The function of each channel strip depends on the currently selected Layer. See
“Selecting Layers” on page 47 for more information.
A Encoders
These controls are used to edit Input and Output Channel parameters. Their exact
operation depends on the currently selected Encoder mode and Layer. There are
two preset Encoder modes, Pan and Aux, and two assignable modes, with over 40
parameters to choose from. See “Selecting Encoder Modes” on page 50 for more
information.
The Encoders feature push switches that are used to punch the parameter cur-
rently assigned to the Encoders in and out during Automix recording. See
“Punching In & Out Individual Parameters” on page 183 for more information.
B AUTO buttons
These buttons are used to set Automix recording and playback for each channel.
Their exact operation depends on the currently selected Layer. Their indicators
light up orange in Record-Ready mode, red while recording, and green during
playback. See “Channel Strip [AUTO] Buttons” on page 174 for more information.
C SEL buttons
These buttons are used to select Input and Output Channels for editing with the
SELECTED CHANNEL section. Their exact operation depends on the currently
selected Layer. The [SEL] button indicator of the currently selected channel lights
up. See “Selecting Channels” on page 48 for more information. The [SEL] buttons
can also be used to pair channels, and to add and remove channels to and from the
EQ, Comp, Fader, and Mute groups.
