3.4.3. Microphone powering
Using the joystick (
10
), move the highlight to the “Pwr” column setting on the
desired channel, and select it by pressing the “OK” button (
4
). Available choices
are: “ – ” (no powering, for dynamic microphones, including ribbons), “P12”
(phantom, 12V), “P48” (phantom, 48V), “T12” (Tonader, 12V).
T12 must only be used with microphones marked as such. Phantom power
microphones will normally use P48 but if rated for P12 this option will be more
economical of battery power. Dynamic microphones, including ribbons, might be
safe with P12 or P48 but it is wiser to turn the mic powering off.
Confirm the choice by pressing “OK” (
4
).
3.4.4. Limiters
Next column is the limiter setting on each channel. Select Y or N.
NOTE: in order to preserve a stable stereo image, when channels 1 and 2 are set in
stereo or M/S mode, the limiters are automatically switched to “YC” coupled mode
whenever the limiter is activated on either channel.
3.4.5. High-pass filters
Next column is the setting for the high-pass filter on each channel, with following
options:
x
“—“ No filter
x
“50” (50 Hz, 18dB/octave),
x
“120” (120 Hz, 18dB/octave),
x
“300” (300 Hz, 6dB/octave).
The steep 18dB options cut wind noise and traffic rumble effectively. The gentle
6dB slope of the 300 Hz setting compensates for proximity effect (bass tip-up) in
directional microphones.
Confirm the choice by pressing “OK” (
4
).
3.4.6. Phase (polarity)
Last setting is the channel polarity, “+” for normal operation, or inverted, “ — ”.
Confirm the choice by pressing “OK” (
4
).
