Level Control
The Level Control adjusts the level available at the front Output Jack Socket
only.
Monitor selector Toggle Switch (Left/Stereo/Right)
The switch has 3 positions. L, R and Stereo. When the switch is in the L position
the Left signal being monitored via the Monitor Selector switch is sent to both
sides of the headphone at once (mono). Eg: Channel 1 sent to both sides of
headphone. When the switch is in the R position the Right Signal being
monitored by the Monitor Selector switch is sent to both sides of the headphone
at once (mono) Eg: Channel 2 sent to both sides of headphones. When the
switch is in the Central position (stereo) The left signal is sent to the left
headphone, and the Right signal to the Right headphone (Eg: 1 on Left, 2 on
Right), this also allows you to hear any mixing that may have occurred via the
pan controls across the two associated channels.
LED Level monitoring
The LED Level metering follows the monitor selector switch. Eg: If the Monitor
Selector switch is in position 1 / 2, the Left row of LED’s will show the input Level
of Channel 1(L), and the right row will show the input level Channel 2 ( R). This is
measured as the level after the input amplifier, and is the level being sent onto
the busses. When the monitor selector switch is set in the L/R position, the meter
displays the level being sent to the Output XLR’s. The LED Level indicator lights
an LED as each indicated level is reached. (-2, +4, +10, +13, +16 dB). Although
the metering only shows a maximum level of +16dB and the LED’s are Red, this
in NO WAY indicates that the unit is clipping!! The Nicerizer 16 is capable of
delivering up to +26dB, way beyond the capability of the LED Meters…….So, if
you want a much hotter output, just turn it up!!
Stereo Width Control and Toggle switch
The Stereo Width control is a Class A, Discrete, lossless-bass circuit that can be
used to control the perceived “width” of the stereo image. The control only affects
the output of the signal after the bus (it has no effect on individual channels
before the bus). The width control will alter the image from mono, round to
approximately 25% wider than the original image sent to the busses.
The stereo width toggle switch can be used to bypass the width control so that
thecontrol has no effect on the stereo image regardless of its position.
Main Output Level Control
The Main Output Level control is used to adjust the Main Output Level of the unit
on the main Output XLR’s. The Output level can be seen on the Level LED Meter
when the Monitor Selector Switch is in the L/R position. Remember!! You can
turn this control almost all the way to it’s maximum position, way beyond the LED
Metering Display’s Capability, and still be sure that the Output will not clip! (The
output can actually be driven another +10dB beyond the last Red LED before the
output stages in the unit “might” clip).
