M7CL Owner’s Manual
Signal flow for output channels
80

These channels process the signals sent from MIX channels and STEREO/MONO channels to MATRIX buses, and send

them to the corresponding output ports. When the M7CL is in the default state, the following output ports are assigned.

●
ATT (Attenuator)

Attenuates/boosts the level of the signal.

●
4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)

A parametric EQ with four bands; HIGH, HIGH MID,

LOW MID, and LOW.

●
DYNAMICS 1

This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a com-

pressor, compander, or expander.

●
LEVEL

This adjusts the output level of the channel.

●
BALANCE (STEREO channel only)

Adjusts the left/right volume balance of the STEREO (L/

R) channel.

●
ON (On/off)

Turns the output channel on/off. If off, that channel is

muted.

●
MATRIX ON/OFF (MATRIX send on/off)

This is an on/off switch for the signal sent from the MIX

channels, STEREO (L/R) channel, or MONO (C) channel

to each MATRIX bus.

●
MATRIX (MATRIX send levels)

This adjusts the send level of the signal sent from the MIX

channels, STEREO (L/R) channel, or MONO (C) channel

to each MATRIX bus. As the position from which the sig-

nal is sent to the MATRIX bus, you can choose either,

immediately before the fader, or immediately after the

[ON] key.

If the send-destination MATRIX bus is set to stereo, you

can use the PAN knob to adjust the panning between the

two MATRIX buses. If the send-source is a stereo MIX

channel or the STEREO channel, use the BALANCE

knob to adjust the volume balance of the left and right

channels sent to the two MATRIX buses.

●
INSERT

You can patch the desired output/input ports to insert an

external device such as an effect processor. You can switch

the insert-out and insert-in locations.

●
METER

This meters the level of the output channel. You can

switch the position at which the level is detected.

●
KEY IN (MIX channels 13–16 only)

You can send the output signals of MIX channels 13–16 to

dynamics processors and use them as key-in signals to

control the dynamics.

●
RACK IN PATCH

This patches the output signal of the output channel to an

input of the rack.

●
OUTPUT PATCH

This assigns an output port to an output channel.

●
MONITOR SELECT

This selects the output signal of an output channel as a

monitor source.
