Input Channel Overview

This section provides an overview of 01V input channels.

Phone jack INPUT

(balanced)

Input channels 1 through 12 feature balanced XLR-3-31-type and balanced phone jack connectors, both with a nominal input range of –60 dB to +10 dB. Phantom powering (+48 V) is supplied to the XLR connectors, with master on/off switches for connectors 1 through 6 and 7 through 12. Phone jacks, which can also be used with unbalanced phone plugs, have priority over the XLR-type connectors, so when a phone plug is inserted, the XLR-type connector is disconnected. Inputs 1 through 8 can be swapped with inputs 17 through 24. See “Swapping Inputs 1–8 & 17–24” on page 51 for more information.

Apart from being stereo, input channels 13/14 and 15/16 offer the same features as input channels 1 through 12. Nor- mally, the input signals for input channels 13 and 14 are derived from phone jack inputs 13 and 14. By using the CH13-14 FLIP function on PAN/ROUT page 4, however, the DIGITAL STEREO IN signals can be fed to input channels 13 and 14. See “Digital Stereo In” on page 213 for more information. Similarly, the input signals for input channels 15 and 16 are normally derived from phone jack inputs 15 and 16. By using the 15/16–2TR IN switch, however, the 2TR IN signals can be fed to input channels 15 and 16. See “Two-track Input (2TR IN)” on page 77 for more informa- tion.

Input Channels 17–24

OPTION I/O

Input channels 17 through 24 do not have analog input connectors, a pad switch, gain control, or direct out. They are somewhat simpler than input channels 1 through 16 in that they feature only an attenuator, two-band parametric EQ, and can be assigned to aux sends 1 and 2, but not aux sends 3 and 4. Input channels 17 through 24 are accessed through the digital inputs of the Option I/O slot.See“About Option I/O Cards” on page 216 for more information. Inputs 17 through 24 can be swapped with inputs 1 through

8.See “Swapping Inputs 1–8 & 17–24” on page 51 for more information.
