input channel 4). Thus, you only need to adjust one level control, for example on input channel
4, to set the audio level of input channels 3 AND 4.
NOTE: The input level link switch is only available on input channels 1 and 3.
4.3.7 Phase reversal (0 180)
This switch allows you to reverse the signal phase of channels 2 and/or 4. This setting is useful
if you have a phase problem between two microphones or if you use MS microphones.
0° position: the signal is on phase.
180° position: the signal phase is inverted by 180°.
NOTE: The phase reversal switch is only available on input channels 2 and 4.
WARNING: If the MS position is selected on the pan switch and you decide to invert the
signal phase (of the same input channel), then the whole MS image will be
inverted on the output channels.
OUTPUTS SECTION (L&R)
This section describes all settings available for the two output channels.
4.3.8 Talkback and oscillator (MIC OFF OSC)
This three positions switch allows you to select one of the two possible sources that will be sent
on the corresponding output channel (Left and/or Right):
MIC position: sends the talkback microphone signal to the output channel.
OFF: position: the talkback microphone and the oscillator are turned off.
OSC position: the internal oscillator generates a 1 kHz sine wave tone
which is sent to the output channel (this function is usually
used during a calibration or a test process).
NOTE: The nominal output level is +6dBu (level meters @ 0dB) when the master pot is on the
0dB position.
4.3.9 Output attenuator (LINE ATT)
This switch allows you to turn ON or OFF the 46dB line attenuator of the corresponding output
channel (Left and/or Right) according to the following:
LINE position: the attenuator is turned OFF – nominal output level is +6dBu.
ATT position: the attenuator is turned ON – nominal output level is -40dBu.
4.3.10
Limiter (LINK OFF ON)
This three positions switch allows you to turn ON or OFF the two independents internal output
limiters according to the following:
LINK position: Left and Right output limiters are linked (stereo mode) and ON.
OFF position: Left and Right output limiters are turned OFF.
ON position:
Left and Right output limiters are turned ON.
