MICROPHONE/LINE GAIN

The amount of gain required may depend on the type of

microphone, the sound pressure level, and the distance

between the sound source and microphone. A 20dB pad can be

inserted where levels are too hot. When the line/group

(line/mic on In-line Module) switch is activated, the same

gain control varies the gain of the separate electronics for

the line input.

MONITORING

The Dayner Series gives you a couple of different ways of

monitoring your multitrack recorder. The most cost effective

way is to use Tape/Effect Return modules to monitor and

playback the tracks. This module has four balanced inputs,

each with a volume control, panpot, two aux sends (for a

stereo headphone mix), a mute switch and a solo switch. The

only drawback with using these modules for monitoring is;

when you need to go into remix, you will need to unplug the

tape return jacks from these modules and plug them into the

standard mic/line modules we call the Split Module (from

split format).

Another way of monitoring your multitrack is with the In-line

module. This format is a little more expensive, however, it

offers many features and functions found on consoles

typically costing several times more. The major difference

between this module and the Split module is; it has its own

monitor section on the module which allows the user to have

two usable inputs, both with EQ, both being able to send to

the aux busses, both with their own volume control, panpots,

mutes, and solos, all at the same time.

MULTIPLE MODULES ASSIGNED TO ONE OR TWO TRACKS

When more than one microphone or line signal has to be

recorded on a single track or in stereo on two tracks, a

submix facility will be required. This can be done easily on

the DAYNER by way of the internal floating subgroup

amplifiers located on one of the master section printed

circuit boards. Simply route to one of the 8 subgroups by

activating a channel routing switch on as many input modules

as required. Decide on which track you wish to record these

signals and activate the related "from sub" switches on the

output section of that channel. The channel metering will

show the subgroup level which can be overall changed by the

trim controls. To monitor these tracks on the In-Line

modules, the tape switch in the monitor section should be in

the up position to monitor pre-tape (console out) and in the

down position to monitor post-tape). For more detailed

instructions, refer to paragraph section 3.6 a,b,c,d,e, and

f, Assign and Subgrouping.
