THE X-PANDA STEREO CHANNEL STRIP

The X-Panda features 4 Stereo Input Channels that differ slightly from the Mono Channels.

Stereo Inputs – Channel Input (CH IP)

The X-Panda Stereo Input channels (CH IP) feature a +/- 20 dB gain stereo Level Trim, indented in the centre at Unity Gain and a pair of independent Phase Reverse “Ø” switch for both the L+R Inputs.

The Post input gain signal can also then be affected by Insert processing (perhaps stereo EQ or Dynamics processing) by pressing the “INS” switch. On the Stereo channels on the X-Panda the Insert point is true Stereo.

It is worth noting that in SSL tradition the Insert Send is always active, which can creatively utilised if you so wish. Engaging the “INS” switch will activate the Insert return. (All Stereo Channel Inserts are connected via the INSERT SEND/RETURN ST 1-4connections on the rear of the X-Panda)

There are independent Level Meters for both Left and Right Signals of your Stereo source.

The Tri-colour LEDs under the level control are 3 colour indictors of signal presence and level. By default the following audio levels are indicted by the following LED states:

Green =	-24 dBu
Yellow =	+4 dBu
Red =	+21 dBu

Remember it is possible to rescale the X-Panda’s metering to a +18dBu (as opposed to the standard +24 dBu) scale via the rear panel DIP switch. This would then provide the following channel meter scale.

Green =	-24 dBu
Yellow =	0 dBu
Red =	+16 dBu

Note: The Red LED will light before actual audio clipping, which can serve as a useful warning when recording.
