Input channels

Reference Manual

• LCR (Left/Center/Right)

Sends the input channel signal to the STEREO bus/MONO bus as a three-channel signal that

consists of the L/R channel plus the center channel.

• MIX ON/OFF (MIX send on/off)

This is an on/off switch for signals sent from the input channel to MIX buses 1–24.

• MATRIX LEVEL 1–24 (MATRIX send levels 1–24)

Adjusts the send level of signals sent from the input channel to VARI type MIX buses 1–24. As the

position from which the signal is sent to the MIX bus, you can choose from the following:

immediately before EQ, pre-fader, or post-fader.

• MATRIX ON/OFF (MATRIX send on/off)

This is an on/off switch for signals sent from the input channel to MATRIX buses 1–8.

• MATRIX LEVEL 1–8 (MATRIX send levels 1–8)

Adjusts the send level of the signal sent from the input channel to MATRIX buses 1–8. As the

position from which the signal is sent to the MATRIX bus, you can choose from the following:

immediately before the EQ, pre-fader, or post-fader.

• INSERT (MONO channels only)

You can patch the desired output/input ports to insert an external device such as an effect

processor. For the position of the insert-out/insert-in point, you can choose immediately before

the EQ, immediately before the fader, or immediately after the [ON] key.

• DIRECT OUT (MONO channels only)

You can patch this to any output port to send out the input signal directly from the corresponding

output port. For the position of the direct output, you can choose immediately before the HPF,

immediately before the EQ, immediately before the fader, or immediately after the [ON] key.

• METER

Meters the input channel level. You can switch the position at which the level is detected

(see page 112).

Specifying the channel name, icon and channel

color

On the CL series unit, you can specify the on-screen name and icon for each input channel. This section

explains how to specify the channel name, icon and channel color.

1. Access the OVERVIEW screen that includes the input channel for which you want

to specify the channel name, icon and channel color.

2. Access the PATCH/NAME popup window by pressing the channel number/channel

name field of the channel to which you want to assign the channel name, icon and

channel color.
