25.3.1 Settings

A click on the tool symbol opens the channel’s Settings panel with differing elements. For ex-

ample the option Inst exists only in input channels 9-12, and the ADAT channels do not offer the

phantom power option.

Stereo. Switches the channel to mono or stereo mode.

48V. Activates phantom power at the corresponding input. Serves as

power supply for high quality condenser mics. This option should stay

off with other sources to prevent failure by spikes.

Inst. Switches inputs 9 to 12 individually from XLR to the TRS jack.

Gain (9-12). Sets the gain for the four front inputs. The knob can be

adjusted by dragging the mouse or by the mouse wheel. This also

works when the mouse has been moved over the two gain displays.

Then the gain can be changed separately for left and right channel,

even when the channel is in stereo mode.

Gain (1-8). Additionally to the reference level setting, Line inputs 1 to 8

have an adjustable gain option from 0 dB to +12 dB.

Level. Sets the reference level individually for the 8 rear Line inputs.

The available settings are +4 dBu and LoGain.

AutoSet. Activates an automatic gain reduction preventing overloads caused by too high gain

settings. See chapter 19.2 for details.

Width. Defines the stereo width. 1.00 equals full stereo, 0.00 mono, -1.00 swapped channels.

FX Send. Setting the level of the signal sent to the FX bus which feeds Echo and Reverb. The

current setting is also visible with closed channel settings, because knob and small fader are

always synchronized. To make this function as useful as possible FX Send is locked to the

highest submix, thus imitating the Aux Post Fader function of a standard mixing desk. When

moving the big fader both knob and small fader will also move. This way the reverb signal will

always have the same relation to the dry signal.

The level of the signal sent to the effects can be controlled by the FX In level meters of the FX

window. It becomes visible after a click on FX in the View Options.

MS Proc. Activates M/S processing within the stereo channel. Monaural information is sent to

the left channel, stereo information to the right.

Phase L. Inverts the phase of the left channel by 180°.

Phase R. Inverts the phase of the right channel by 180°.

Note

: the functions Width, MS Proc, Phase L and Phase R affect all routings of the respective

channel.
