2) There is a greater chance of a digital overload, undoing the control and
safety feature of the limiter.
3) Any digital output level will be un-calibrated, unless the control is set to the
+20dB position.
Clarification of this routing can be made using the block diagram at the rear
of this manual. For details of how to modify these jumpers, see Configuration
Jumpers on page 19.
STEREO MIX
The stereo mix section provides overall level and independent
pan control over the two channel signals, which are available at
the stereo mix section of the rear panel via two balanced XLRs,
and on one unbalanced stereo jack.
To expand the flexibility of the 1962 further, up to three mix
signals from other Drawmer 1962s or comparable line level
stereo sources may be mixed in with the channel signals via the
rear panel Stereo Mix jack inputs. This allows other analogue
equipment to use the high quality digital output stage of the
1962 (if fitted).
Channel Pan:
This control pans (‘positions’) the channel signal
between the left and right stereo outputs. When
a conventional stereo mix is required, or when a
stereo mic array is being used, then the channel
pan controls will normally be panned hard left
and right. Stereo meters are provided within the Stereo Mix section. For
optimum use, ensure that both Stereo Mix output meters track evenly.
Note for maximum analogue signal headroom the 1962 does not suffer any
signal level loss when panned centrally between the channels, This is unlike
the traditional operation of a pan control on a mixing console. See also
Configuration Jumpers on page 19
Output Level:
A continually variable stereo control that sets the level of the Mix outputs. The
gain range is from -15dB up to +20dB. Adjustment of this control does not
affect the level seen by the digital section, whatever the position of the
configuration jumpers. The signal levels of the two channels are visible on the
two vertical 8 segment meters in the Stereo Mix section.
