4While playing a musical instrument or
speaking or singing into a microphone, turn
the [HA] encoder in the SELECTED CHAN-
NEL section to adjust the gain of the cur-
rently selected channel.
Adjust the gain level as high as possible without
allowing the OVER segment of the channel strip level
meter to light at the highest audio input level.
When you turn the [HA] encoder in the SELECTED
CHANNEL section, the knob in the HA field of the
SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen will move in
tandem with the encoder.
5Press the [SEL] key of another input chan-
nel, and adjust the head amp gain in the
same way.
When you press a [SEL] key to select another channel,
the channel shown in the SELECTED CHANNEL
VIEW screen will change accordingly.

●Using the Centralogic section

(settings for eight channels)

Use the Centralogic section and the OVERVIEW screen to
make head amp settings for up to eight channels. This
method is convenient when you want to adjust the same
parameter for multiple channels at once.
1Connect a mic or instrument to an INPUT
jack. (For details on making connections
→ p. 46).
2Press a navigation key in the NAVIGATION
KEYS section so that the input channels
you want to control are assigned to the
Centralogic section.
The navigation keys of the NAVIGATION KEYS sec-
tion select the eight channels or DCA groups that will
be controlled by the Centralogic section. In this sec-
tion, the following keys correspond to input channels.
●[IN 1-8] key
●[IN 9-16] key
●[IN 17-24] key
●[IN 25-32] key
These keys select INPUT channels 1–8, 9–16, 17–
24, and 25–32 respectively.
●[ST IN] key
This key selects ST IN channels 1–4.
●[IN 33-40] key (M7CL-48/48ES only)
●[IN 41-48] key (M7CL-48/48ES only)
These keys select INPUT channels 33–40 and 41–
48 respectively.
When you press a navigation key, the OVERVIEW
screen will appear in the display, and the principal
parameters of the up to eight selected channels are
shown simultaneously. Y ou can use the k eys and faders
of the Centralogic section to control the level, on/off
status, and cue operations of the selected eight chan-
nels or DCA groups.

• The PAD will be internally switched on or off when the HA
gain is adjusted between -14 dB and -13 dB. Keep in mind
that noise may be generated if there is a difference between
the Hot and Cold output impedance of the external device
connected to the INPUT connector when using phantom
power.
• If the level meter does not show any movement even if you
have raised the [HA] encoder, it is possible that the INPUT
channel selected by its [SEL] key does not match the INPUT
jack to which your mic or instrument is connected. Make sure
that the connections and the selection of the [SEL] key are
correct. If necessary, recall scene number 000 once again.
NOTE
• In the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen you can also
switch the head amp’s phantom power on/off, and switch the
phase between normal and reverse. To do this, press the HA/
PHASE field to access the popup window. (For details on the
procedure
→
p. 61).
