Input channels Setting the Gain Compensation function Adjusting the digital gain If you are using an I/O device (such as an Rio3224-D) on a Dante network, you can maintain the constant level of signal output to the audio network by using the Gain Compensation function.
Input channels Relationship between analog and digital gain while Gain Compensation is on Sending a signal from an input channel to the STEREO/MONO buses If Gain Compensation is on, adjusting the analog gain by a specific amount will cause the I/O device to output to the audio network a signal that is attenuated by the same amount. Therefore, the signals on the audio network will maintain a constant corrected level in the digital domain.
Input channels 1. 2. TO STEREO/MONO popup window (8ch) Make sure that an input source is connected to the input channel you are adjusting. Set the phantom power, gain, and phase of the head amp to obtain the optimum input signal.

Input channels Correcting delay between channels (Input Delay) INPUT DELAY (8ch) 1 This section explains how to correct delay between input channels by using Input Delay function. This function is useful when you want to correct the phase variance, caused by microphone locations on the stage, to add depth to the sound by using phase variance, or to correct a delay (a gap) that may exist between video and audio that are sent from a site for broadcast on TV. 1.
Input channels Channel library operations INPUT DELAY (CH1-48, CH49-72/ST IN(CL5), CH49-64/ST IN(CL3), ST IN(CL1)) Channel libraries include “INPUT CHANNEL LIBRARY,” which enables you to store and recall various parameters (including the head amp settings) for input channels. To recall a library, press the corresponding LIBRARY button in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen. 1 2 3 LIBRARY button For details on using the library, refer to the “Using the library” section in the separate Owner’s Manual.
Output channels Output channels STEREO channel/MONO (C) channel Each of these channels processes the signal sent from the input channels to the STEREO bus or MONO (C) bus, and send it to the corresponding output port or MATRIX bus. If input channels are in LCR mode, the STEREO (L/R) channels and the MONO (C) channel can be used together as a set of three output channels. This chapter explains output channels (MIX channels, MATRIX channels, STEREO channels, MONO channels).
Output channels • MATRIX ON/OFF (MATRIX send on/off) This is an on/off switch for signals sent from the MIX channels, STEREO (L/R) channel, or MONO (C) channel to each MATRIX bus. Specifying the channel name, icon and channel color • MATRIX (MATRIX send level) Adjusts the send level of signals sent from the MIX channels, STEREO (L/R) channel, or MONO (C) channel to each MATRIX bus 1–8.
Output channels 2 Sending signals from MIX channels to the STEREO/ MONO bus 3 This section explains how to send a signal from a MIX channel to the STEREO bus or MONO bus.

Appendices ■ DUCKING Ducking is commonly used for voice-over applications in which the background music level is reduced automatically when an announcer speaks. When the KEY IN source signal level exceeds the specified THRESHOLD, the output level is attenuated by a specified amount (RANGE). Dynamics Parameters Input channels provide DYNAMICS section 1 and DYNAMICS section 2. Output channels provide DYNAMICS section 1.
Appendices ■ EXPANDER An expander attenuates signals below a specified THRESHOLD by a specified RATIO. ■ COMPRESSOR The COMP processor attenuates signals above a specified THRESHOLD by a specified RATIO. The COMP processor can also be used as a limiter, which, with a RATIO of ∞:1, reduces the level to the threshold. This means that the limiter’s output level never actually exceeds the threshold.
Appendices ■ COMPANDER HARD (COMPANDER-H), COMPANDER SOFT (COMPANDER-S) The hard and soft companders combine the effects of the compressor, expander and limiter.

Appendices ■ U76 This models a well-known vintage compressor/limiter used in a wide range of situations. Parameter Range ■ Dynamic EQ This is a newly developed equalizer that dynamically changes the EQ gain in response to the input signal, controlling the amount of EQ cut or boost in a way similar to a compressor or expander. Description Parameter Range Description INPUT –96.0 to 0.0 dB Input level OUTPUT –96.0 to 0.
Appendices Effects and tempo synchronization Example 2: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, NOTE=8th note, you change TEMPO from 120 to 121 DELAY = NOTE x 4 x (60 / new TEMPO) = (1/8) x 4 x (60/121) = 0.2479 (sec) = 247.9 (ms) Thus, the TEMPO will change from 250 ms to 247.9 ms. *a Rounded values are used for the calculation results. Some effects of the CL series can be synchronized with the tempo. There are two such types of effect; delay-type effects and modulation-type effects.
