Input channels
This chapter explains various operations for input channels.
Signal flow for input channels
The input channels comprise the section that processes signals received from the I/O devices, rear panel
input jacks, or slots 1–3, and sends them to the STEREO bus, MONO bus, MIX buses, or MATRIX
buses. There are two types of input channels, as follows.
MONO channel
These channels are used to process monaural signals. When the CL series console is in the default state,
the input signal from the Dante connector is assigned.
STEREO channel
These channels are used to process stereo signals. When the CL series console is in the default state, the
input signal from the EFFECT RACK 1–8 is assigned.
•INPUT PATCH
Assigns input signals to the input channels.
Ø (phase)
Switches the phase of the input signal.
DIGITAL GAIN
Attenuates/boosts the level of the input signal.
HPF (High Pass Filter)
This is a high pass filter that cuts the region below the specified frequency.
4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)
A parametric EQ with four bands: HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, and LOW.
DYNAMICS 1
This is a dynamics processor that can be used for gating, ducking, expander, or compressor.
DYNAMICS 2
This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a compressor, compander, or de-esser.
•INPUT DELAY
Corrects input signal delay. You can specify up to 1000ms.
LEVEL/DCA 1–16
Adjusts the input level of the channel.
ON (on/off)
Turns the input channel on or off. If this is off, the corresponding channel will be muted.
•PAN
Adjusts the panning of signals sent from the input channel to the STEREO bus. For the STEREO
channel, you can switch between PAN and BALANCE. The BALANCE parameter adjusts the
volume balance of the left/right signals sent from the STEREO channel to the STEREO bus. You
can turn on PAN LINK in the BUS SETUP popup window so that the setting of the PAN
parameter will also be applied to signals sent to two MIX or MATRIX buses that are set to stereo.
