AD Input Section
AD Input #1 is shown here.
A+48V ON/OFF switches
These switches turn on and off the +48 V phantom power feed to each INPUT A

microphones or direct boxes. See “Phantom Power” on page 64 for more informa-
tion.
BPAD switches
These switches turn on and off the 26 dB pad (attenuator) for each AD Input. See
“Pad” on page 64 for more information.
CGAIN controls
These controls adjust the gain of the AD Input Head Amps. They have an input
sensitivity of –16 dB to –60 dB or +10 dB to –34 dB when Pad is on. See “Gain” on
page 64 for more information.
DPEAK indicators
These indicators light up when the input signal level is 3 dB below clipping. See
“PEAK & SIGNAL Indicators” on page 64 for more information.
ESIGNAL indicators
These indicators light up when the input signal level is 20 dB below nominal. See
“PEAK & SIGNAL Indicators” on page 64 for more information.
FINSERT ON/OFF switches
These switches are for turning on and off the AD Input inserts. See “AD Inserts”
on page 65 for more information.
Channel strips
Channel strip #1 is shown here.
The function of each channel strip depends on the currently selected Layer. See
“Selecting Layers” on page 58 for more information.
AEncoders
These controls are used to edit Input and Output Channel parameters. Their exact
operation depends on the currently selected Encoder mode and Layer. There are
two preset Encoder modes, Pan and Aux/Mtrx, and four assignable modes, with
over 50 parameters to choose from. See “Selecting Encoder Modes” on page 61 for
more information.
The Encoders feature push switches that are used to punch the parameter cur-
rently assigned to the Encoders in and out during Automix recording. See
“Punching In & Out Individual Parameters” on page 207 for more information.
BAUTO buttons
These buttons are used to set Automix recording and playback for each channel.
Their exact operation depends on the currently selected Layer. Their indicators
light up orange in Record-Ready mode, red while recording, and green during
playback. See “Channel Strip [AUTO] Buttons” on page 199 for more information.
CSEL buttons
These buttons are used to select Input and Output Channels for editing with the
SELECTED CHANNEL section. Their exact operation depends on the currently
selected Layer. The [SEL] button indicator of the currently selected channel lights
up. See “Selecting Channels” on page 59 for more information. They are also used
to display the Long channel names. See “Channel Names” on page 57 for more
information. The [SEL] buttons can also be used to pair channels, and to add and
remove channels to and from the EQ, Comp, Fader, and Mute groups.
