3.5. Auxiliary Inputs
3.5.1. USB input
From the main menu, select the “Aux Inputs” line and enter the sub-menu by
pressing the “OK” button (
4 ). The first line shows the routing for the USB input.
No gain adjustment is needed here, as the audio signals extracted from the USB
Input are calibrated to fit the dynamic range of the A/D converter of MIXY (i.e. a
full scale signal from the USB interface gives a full scale input to the internal A/D
converter when it is routed to the buses).
Each signal from the USB can be routed L (Left bus only), R (Right bus only), or C
(both buses).
As usual, move the joystick to highlight the routing, press the “OK” button (
4 ) so
that it flashes, and move the joystick to get the desired setting. Confirm the choice
by pressing “OK” (
4 ).
3.5.2. Line inputs (XLR5F socket)
Still in this “Aux Inputs” sub-menu, move to “Line”. The first columns show the
routing, for which the options are “BusL” (routing to Left bus), “BusR” (to Right
bus), “BusC” (both to Left and Right), “—“ (unrouted).
Note that, even unrouted, the signals are still available for monitoring!
The third column shows the line level setting. There is no physical fader to control
the level for the line inputs, but here you can align the level. The setting is the level
(in dBu) for which you get a full scale signal at the input of MIXY’s internal A/D
converter.
Example: if the setting is 16, then a signal at +16 dBu at the input will (if routed to
the mix buses, of course) give a just-clipping signal at 0 dBFS. A +4 dBu input will
give a -12 dBFS output.
