Microphone Inputs
Link 1+2
Ganging of faders 1 and 2. Simplifies
the setup in case both channels shall
have the same setting/values
+48V
Phantom power (48V) can be
selected for each microphone input
separately.
Channel 1 and 2 of the Fireface UC
have digitally controlled microphone
preamps of the highest quality. The
digital control offers a gain setting in steps of 1 dB within a range of 10 dB to 65 dB. The con-
figuration is done either directly at the unit via the rotary encoder, or via the Settings dialog's tab
Gain. The current gain is displayed in dB beside the fader.
In the lower range the fader jumps from 10 dB to 0 dB. This useful additional setting provides
line signal compatibility at up to +10 dBu.
Instrument / Line Inputs
Link 3+4
Ganging of faders 3 and 4. Simplifies the setup in case both channels shall have the same set-
ting/values
Pad
Pad decrease the input sensitivity by 12 dB.
Inst
Activate the option Instrument to use inputs 3 and 4 with instruments. The input impedance is
raised to 470 kOhm, the input sensitivity increases by 10 dB.
The inputs 3 and 4 have a digitally controlled preamp. It allows for an additional gain between 0
and 18 dB, in steps of 0.5 dB. The configuration is done either directly at the unit via the rotary
encoder, or via the Settings dialog's tab Gain. The current gain is displayed in dB beside the
fader. Further information is found in chapter 25.3.
