before the LINEAR fader, thus it shows the contribution of the TRIM rotary fader only. To see the effect of the
LINEAR fader, view the Home page on your recorder. To get the best possible signal, the input should read
between 0dB and +6dB.
In the Home page and Cue page, pressing the M key toggles the Mix-12 metering between pre-fader input bus
metering and disk mix metering.
NOTE: The PFL illumination is inverted whenever the Mix-12 is not metering the pre-fader analog input bus.
NOTE: The Mix-12 metering mode is not saved when powered down. The Mix-12 default setting of metering
the pre-fader analog is always used when first powered up.
Adjusting the Meter Brightness
You can adjust the meter brightness on the Mix-12 to one of eight levels. The brightest setting (8) allows the
meters to be seen in direct sunlight.
Use the Meter Brightness button in the Mix12 Setup page (MENU key Setup button Mix12 button)
to adjust how bright the meter is illuminated. The current value is saved in the configuration settings.
BUS key
An individual BUS page allows the routing for a single channel on the recorder’s internal mix busses and to the
output busses. The number keypad on the Mix-12 can be used to make channel assignments on the recorder and
assign the outputs.
The illuminated BUS key indicates channel, output or disk that is in the mix while in STOP mode. While in
RECORD mode, the illuminated BUS key indicates the channels in the disk mix.
When the BUS key is pressed once, the Input (#) – BUS page appears on your recorder.
