Control Elements
Inputs (1-4)
With the four buttons of the Inputs section, you can select between the four different
stereo inputs of the category inputs. This selected source can be routed with the Insert
and recorded with the Recording Output. Only one button can be activated in this section.
If another button is pushed, this button is activated. A multiple selection is not possible.
The current selection is visualized by the button lighting up. If the button is pushed a sec-
ond time, the Direct Input Monitoring is activated. This mode is indicated by an blinking
Input button. In this mode, all functions processing the input signal are not led on the
monitoring bus but stay on the recording bus.
L Off and R Off
By using the L Off and R off buttons, the input signal at the input section, depending on
the selection, can be muted. L Off deactivates the left input channel, R Off the right input
channel.
L Phase and R Phase
With the L Phase and R Phase buttons, you can invert the phase of the input signal at the
input section, depending on the selection, by 180°. L Phase inverts the signal on the left
input channel, R Phase inverts the signal on the right channel.
Input Trim L / Input Trim R
With Input Trim L and Input Trim R you can increase or attenuate the input signal in the
input section up to 6dB. If the switch (5) is in the center position (0 dB) the respective
Input Trim is not influencing the signal flow.
Input Trim -0+ Switch
This switch determines if the level at the respective Input Trim is attenuated (-) or
increased (+) or (in the center position = 0 dB) stays unmodified when passing the Trim
section.
Recording Gain
The output level at the Recording Out 1 and Recording Out 2 can be increase or attenuated
up to 10 dB by using the Recording Gain potentiometer. If you turn the control to the left,
the level is attenuated. If you turn the control to the right, the level is increased. If the con-
trol is in the center position “0” the level stays unmodified. In the standard configuration,
the Recording Gain control is not in the signal path but has to be activated with the Gain
On button.
