Output Control

The Output control regulates the MixDreamXP output level (at the Main Outs). Its range extends from -14 dB to +7 dB. With this Output Control final levels can be ajdusted to accommo- date subsequent A/D converters. Because the Main Outputs and Monitor Outputs run in parallel, both outputs are regulated globally via this control.

Variable Output Switch

The Output Control is activated by the Variable Output switch situated among the front-left group of switches. When this Variable Output switch is deactivated, the Input Level remains unaltered (Unity Gain).

Mono Switches

All MixDreamXP channel pairs (1/2 through 15/16) are by default panned hard left/right. This configuration is the only sensible way in which each signal contributing to the stereo sound canvas can retain its placement and automated characteristics.

However, for mono signals (such as kick, snares, lead vocals or bass that should appear in the middle of a mix), it would be a waste to use (in hard L/R panned channels) what would amount to two required converters for a mono result. In such cases, each channel pair can be switched to mono mode (red status LED), so that, for example, there might be a (mono) kick on channel 1, snare on channel 2 and bass on channel 3, etc. IMPORTANT: Panning for such instruments in the sequencing program should place the kick hard left, the snare hard on the right, and so on.

Expansion

The Expansion Inputs provide an additional XLR stereo input (see page 9 for details) and can be activated by the Expansion Inputs Switch in the front-right group of switches. Typically this stereo input would provide for linking with another MixDream XP unit.
