7.5 Screensaver
Displays a moving Config Name if the keys or
rotary are left untouched for more than 10
minutes. Audio is not affected. Operate any
control to instantly access its function. Press
Shift to exit without changing function.
7.6 The Home screen
The mixer starts in the Home screen:
Displays the Config Name to identify the
mixer or user. Displays the name of the Last
Preset recalled during the session. Blank
after power up or if none have been recalled.
7.7 Stereo Meter
Displays the signal before the Master Level
control. In Normal mode it shows the
combined mix level. In Solo mode it shows
the level of the selected source.
‘PK!’ turns on 3dB before clipping to warn
that the signal is too hot and may distort if
turned up much higher. ‘L’ turns on when the
limiter is preventing the signal getting any
louder.
Optimum meter reading – Adjust levels for a
reading without ‘PK!’ or ‘L’ turning on for
loudest moments. Turn down source level or
use the Trim All function to simultaneously
reduce all levels if ‘Pk’ or ‘L’ flash.
7.8 Adjusting Master Level
Turn the Master Level control to adjust output
volume. This is a global control that is not
stored with presets. It affects the mix level but
not the local mic level. The meter is pre-level
so is not affected by this control.
Start with the Master at minimum. Adjust
sources for optimum meter reading then turn
up the rotary for comfortable listening level.
Typical setting is around mid-position.
Warning To avoid the risk of hearing
damage do not operate at high volumes for
an extended period of time.
7.9 Adjusting Local Mic level
Turn up the Local Mic control to add ambient
stage sound from the built-in microphone to
your headphones or in-ears, and hear fellow
musicians who come up and talk to you..
Local Mic level is not stored with presets and
is not affected by the Master Level nor shown
on the meter. The mic signal is sent to the
stereo output only.
Start with the Local Mic level at minimum. Set
and leave it or turn it up only when you need
to hear somebody talking to you.
Note To avoid feedback do not place your
headphones next to the built-in mic while it is
turned up.
Note The Local Mic is for stage sound and is
not intended for adding audience ambience
or communicating with other musicians over
the CAT5 link.
Note If you do not hear sound the Local Mic
may have been disabled (muted) in Setup.
