Functions of Channels 1 – 8:
Mono/Stereo
The MR88 can be set so that Channels 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, or 7 & 8 are
considered as a stereo pair. This reduces the number or setups required for
a stereo music source. Each stereo pair has only one setting for Input Level,
compression, EQ, Output, priority, gate attenuation, detector and hold time.
Gain adjustments for the Left and Right Channels can be linked or
independently set.
Line/Mic/Phantom
This sets the nominal input level to mic level + 48V phantom power, mic level
without phantom power or line level.
Gain Control - Pre-Amplifier
The MR88 has a substantial gain range, (-40 to +20dB) allowing the use of a
variety of microphones and line inputs. Generally, if the level has been set to
the correct type in the previous menu, only small changes should be
necessary. The LED meter displays the individual selected input channel
level, and the headphone monitor can be used to listen to the channel, so
that the gain can be set per channel, even when the channel is not
connected to the output. When set to stereo three functions allow the gain
adjustments for the Left and Right Channels to be linked or independently
set.
