Yamaha DSP5D, PM5D-RH V2 GAIN/ATTENUATION/ (Gain / Attenuation / Phase), NOISE GATE

PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Operating section 67

Using the Selected Channel section

Here you can edit the head amp, post AD conversion

attenuator, and phase parameters for the currently selected

channel. This section is available only if an input channel is

selected.

AA[GAIN/ATT] key

This key selects the parameter that is controlled by the

[GAIN/ATT] encoder (2).

• [GAIN/ATT] key lit (Gain)

The encoder adjusts the input sensitivity of the inter-

nal head amp patched to the input channel (PM5D-

RH and DSP5D only) or of an external head amp that

supports the dedicated protocol (Yamaha AD8HR,

AD824, etc.). The range of adjustment is +10 to –62.

• [GAIN/ATT] key dark (Attenuator)

The encoder controls the post AD conversion attenua-

tor of the input channel. The range of adjustment is

–96 to +24.

Note

•Gain cannot be selected for channels to which an internal/

external head amp is not patched.

•The PAD will be switched on or off internally when the gain

of the PM5D-RH internal head amp is adjusted between –

14 dB and –13 dB. Keep in mind that noise may be gener-

ated if there is a difference between the Hot and Cold output

impedance of the external device connected to the INPUT

connector/ST IN connector when using phantom power.

•If you don’t want it to be possible to select the attenuators,

access the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen, and

turn ATT OPERATION ON PANEL off (

➥

p.206).

B[GAIN/ATT] encoder

According to the setting of the [GAIN/ATT] key (1),

this encoder controls either the input sensitivity of the

internal/external head amp patched to the input chan-

nel, or the attenuator following AD conversion.

The LEDs around the periphery will change as follows.

• [GAIN/ATT] key lit (Gain)

• [GAIN/ATT] key dark (Attenuator)

C[ø] key

This switches the phase of the selected input channel. If

this key is on, the phase will be reversed.

Here you can edit noise gate parameters for the selected

channel. This section is valid only if an input channel or ST

IN channel is selected.

AGATE GR meter

This meter indicates the amount of reduction pro-

duced by the gate of the selected channel.

BGATE [ON] key

Switches the gate on/off for the selected channel.

CGATE [ATTACK] indicator

Indicates the attack time of the gate in msec units.

DGATE [ATTACK] encoder

Specifies the attack time of the gate (the time from

when the signal exceeds the threshold until the gate

opens).

EGATE [HOLD] indicator

Indicates the hold time of the gate in msec units or sec

units (the indicator for the displayed unit will light).

FGATE [HOLD] encoder

Specifies the hold time of the gate (the time from when

the signal falls below the threshold until the gate

closes).

GGATE [DECAY] indicator

Indicates the decay time of the gate in msec units or sec

units.
