Signal flow for output channels
70
These channels process the signals sent from MIX channels and STEREO/MONO channels to MATRIX buses, and send
them to the corresponding output ports. When the M7CL is in the default state, the following output ports are assigned.
● ATT (Attenuator)
Attenuates/boosts the level of the signal.
● 4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)
A parametric EQ with four bands; HIGH, HIGH MID,
LOW MID, and LOW.
● DYNAMICS 1
This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a com-
pressor, compander, or expander.
● LEVEL
This adjusts the output level of the channel.
● BALANCE (STEREO channel only)
Adjusts the left/right volume balance of the STEREO (L/
R) channel.
● ON (On/off)
Turns the output channel on/off. If off, that channel is
muted.
● MATRIX ON/OFF (MATRIX send on/off)
This is an on/off switch for the signal sent from the MIX
channels, STEREO (L/R) channel, or MONO (C) channel
to each MATRIX bus 1–8.
● MATRIX 1-8 (MATRIX send levels 1–8)
This adjusts the send level of the signal sent from the MIX
channels, STEREO (L/R) channel, or MONO (C) channel
to each MATRIX bus 1–8. As the position from which the
signal is sent to the MATRIX bus, you can choose either
immediately before the four-band EQ, immediately before
the fader, or immediately after the [ON] key.
If the send-destination MATRIX bus is set to stereo, you
can use the PAN knob to adjust the panning between the
two MATRIX buses. If the send-source is a stereo MIX
channel or the STEREO channel, use the BALANCE
knob to adjust the volume balance of the left and right
channels sent to the two MATRIX buses.
● INSERT
You can patch the desired output/input ports to insert an
external device such as an effect processor. You can switch
the insert-out and insert-in locations.
● METER
This meters the level of the output channel. You can
switch the position at which the level is detected.
● KEY IN (MIX channels 13–16 only)
You can send the output signals of MIX channels 13–16 to
dynamics processors and use them as key-in signals to
control the dynamics.
● RACK IN PATCH
This patches the output signal of a MIX channel to an
input of the rack.
● OUTPUT PATCH
This assigns an output port to an output channel.
● MONITOR SELECT
This selects the output signal of an output channel as a
monitor source.
