Channel 1 Features
DIreCT INPUT
For connecting instruments such as an
electric guitar. Inserting a jack overrides
the XLr or Line input.
HMX
Adds harmonically related colouration
to the signal via Audients unique solid
state triode circuitry. With IN depressed
the circuit is active. The HMX level
control allows for the amount of HMX to
be varied, 0 being none, and 10 which is
a lot. If thats not intuitive I don’t know
what is.
Channel 2 Features
VArIPHASe
Provides between 0 and 180
o
continuously
variable phase shift, by means of an
all pass filter. In combination with the
polarity invert switch this provides
almost 360
o
phase shift. Perfect for
phase aligning a double mic’ed source.
Common Features
+48V
Provides
phantom
power
to
the
microphone inputs. Avoid switching
on when monitoring the input to avoid
potential damage to speakers.
-20dB
Inserts 20dB of attenuation before the
pre amp, allowing for louder signals
such as snare drums, without clipping.
GAIN
A gain range of 18-66dB is available (-2
to 46dB with -20dB pad in)
40Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz
Switchable 12dB/octave roll off frequency
for the high pass filter. When both
switches are out the filter is bypassed,
when both 40Hz and 80Hz are pressed
the roll off frequency is 120Hz.
reV
Inverts the polarity of the signal.
-36dB, -12dB, -6dB, 0dBFS
LeD meters representing input signal
level in relation to 0dB digital full scale.
0dBFS will peak the ADC so is best
avoided!
0dBFS is equivalent to +18dBu.
