AD Input Section
AD Input #1 is shown here.
A
+48V ON/OFF switches
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” on page 48 for more information.
B
PAD switches
These switches turn on and off the 26 dB pad (attenuator) for each AD Input. See
“Pad” on page 48 for more information.
C
GAIN controls
These controls adjust the gain of the AD Input Head Amps. They have an input sensi-
tivity of –16 dB to –60 dB or +10 dB to –34 dB when Pad is on. See “Gain” on page 48
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 48 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 48 for more information.
F
INSERT ON/OFF switches
These switches are for turning on and off the AD Input inserts. See “AD Inserts” on
page 49 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 42 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/Mtrx, and four assignable modes, with over 40
parameters to choose from. See “Selecting Encoder Modes” on page 45 for more
information.
The Encoders feature push switches that are used to punch the parameter currently
assigned to the Encoders in and out during Automix recording. See “Punching In &
Out Individual Parameters” on page 175 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 169 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 43 for more information. They are also used to dis-
play the Long channel names. See “Channel Names” on page 41 for more informa-
tion. 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.
