ambience inputs features

The HPW has been designed with a stereo mic ambience input for “real life” sound enhancement. This feature allows sound from the room to be added to the sound system allowing better reflection of what the audience hears.The ambience input has direct out- puts and can be assigned to the auxes or alternate outputs.

92gain

This knob adjusts the gain level of the ambience input. Both left and right circuits are simultaneously adjusted.

93balance

This knob determins the signal’s left-right balance. Rotating the control counterclock- wise increases the amount of left signal, while rotating the control clockwise increases the amount of right signal sent from the ambience input to the assigned bus.

stereo lo-cut filter

This filter reduces or eliminates unwanted low frequencies without substantially affecting the program material.Ambient microphones can easily pick up air-handler or reverberant room noise that clouds the signal. This filter can help clean it up. The cut-off frequency of the filter is 70 Hz and the slope is -18dB per octave.This type of filter is also referred to as a Hi-pass filter (HPF). It allows the hi-frequencies to pass through, but stops the lo-frequencies.

94lo cut switch

When the button is in the “OUT” position the stereo Lo-Cut filter is not enabled When the button is in the “IN” position the stereo Lo-Cut filter is on.

95EQ

The ambience Input is equipped with a fixed-frequency, four-band EQ.The HF and LF bands have a shelving response. The HM band is bell-shaped, centered at 4kHz. The LM band is centered at 250Hz. The EQ circuitry is always in the signal path. Set all EQ con- trols to “0” (flat) if no equalization is desired.

PK/Sig LED - Pre-Fader signal (summed L and R) is shown as varying GREEN intensity, while the channel clip warning illuminates RED.

PFL - When this switch is depressed, the stereo pre-fader signal is sent to the console’s

Solo system. The channel LED illuminates RED to indicate that the PFL is active.
