E.g., many cameras support simultaneous digital and analog audio output. In-camera processing can delay
digital a/v output, resulting in analog audio output actually leading the digital output by a meaningful
measure.

AIN

For sources set to

Mic

input type,

Gain

knobs may

appear in the

Input Settings

tab

to allow you to

compensate for microphone variances.

The

Audio Configuration

panel also provides

Pan

controls.

Pan

is a very useful feature; it adjusts

placement

of sound from source audio channels on the

stereo channels comprising the audio mix(es). Using

Pan

, you can place all or part of

channel 1

onto

channel

, and vice versa.

•

When

Pan

is set to the extreme left position for

channel 1

, its audio is sent exclusively to the

first channel for the

Input 1

group.

•

Centering the

Pan

knob splits the sound from

Input 1

equally onto

channels 1

and

•

Sliding

Pan

for

channel 1

fully clockwise

results in that source only being audible on

channel 2

Pan also modulates the sound levels on the left and
right channels so that the overall volume neither rises
nor drops as a result of adjustments.

Hint: “Pan” is not the same as “Balance”. The

balance control in a stereo system varies the relative
level of the left and right channels, but sound from
the left channel will never come out of the right
speaker, or vice versa (Pan does permit this).

PROCESSING TAB

The second tab in

Audio Configuration

is named

Processing

, and likewise holds very valuable features.

QUALIZER

The seven-

band equalizer allows you to ‘shape’ sound to taste, accommodate sources

with different acoustic

characteristics (say, mismatched mics), minimize feedback or roll off unwanted parts of the audio spectrum.
Enable or disable the

Equalizer

using the switch beside the label above its control group.
