Audio Console
USING MICROPHONE INPUT MODULE AS AN EXAMPLE
Modifying existing modules
Introduction
We are going to use the Microphone settings as an
example, but the procedure is valid for all inputs.
The XLR equipped microphone inputs all are combined
line and microphone inputs and the Audio Console offers
you the option to choose whether an input shall be used
as Mic or Line.
There are two sets of settings applying here; Global
settings for the group and Individual settings for each
individual input.
The Codec C90 has 8 Mic/Line inputs, while the C60
and the C40 have 4 inputs each.
Global settings
Mixer mode, which is either:
• Fixed, which means that the mixed signals all
have the same weight and consequently remain
unchanged.
• Auto, which means that if one sound source is
dominating, the other sources are attenuated by
20 dB each.
• GainShared, which means that if one or some of the
sound sources dominate, the rest of the sources are
attenuated by a few dB so that the total gain of the
mixed signal remains the same all the time. This can
be regarded as a soft version of the Auto setting.
Mute, which is either On or Off.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) which is either On or Off.
The AGC will adjust the gain continuously to maintain a
constant sound level.
Channels, which is either 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo).
Individual settings
• Mode, which is either On or Off.
• Level (dB), which lets you specify the amount of input
gain. Reference level (0 dB) depends on whether
Type is set to Microphone or to Line.
• If Type is set to Microphone, 0 dB input level
corresponds to –36 dBu.
• If Type is set to Line, 0 dB input level corresponds to
+6 dBu.
• Echo Control, which can be set to either On or Off.
• Noise Reduction, which can be set to either On or
Off.
• Equalizer, which can be set to either Off or to one of
a total of 8 presets. To define these presets see the
following pages.
Note that if you apply the above thinking to a module
connected to HDMI, the individual settings available will
be Mode and Level only.
