SELECTED CHANNEL section Reference Manual 6 SELECTED CHANNEL sectionThe SELECTED CHANNEL section located at the left of the display corresponds to a channel module of a conventional analog mixer, and allows you to use the knobs on the panel to set all the major parameters of the currently-selected channel. Operations in this section will affect the channel that was most recently selected by its [SEL] key. If you have assigned an ST IN channel or STEREO channel to a single channel strip, either the L or the R channel will be selected, and the major parameters for L and R channels will be linked.Operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL SectionFollow the steps below to perform operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. NOTE • To select a MIX or MATRIX channel, use the Bank Select keys to recall the desired channel to the Centralogic section, and then press the [SEL] key for the desired channel. • The number and name of the currently-selected channel is shown in the channel select field located in the Function Access Area of the touch screen. • If an ST IN channel or STEREO channel has been assigned to a single channel strip, you can switch between L and R by repeatedly pressing the same [SEL] key. • You can also switch channels by pressing the channel select field located in the Function Access Area. Press the left side of the field to select the preceding channel. Press the right side of the field to select the next channel. • If you have turned on the option“POPUP APPEARS WHEN KNOB(S) PRESSED” on the PREFERENCE tab (accessed by pressing the SETUP button, then the USER SETUP button), pressing a knob repeatedly will open or close the screen (1 ch).• Even if a different screen is selected, the channel selected with the [SEL] key can be set using the knobs of the SELECTED CHANNEL section. In this case, a window indicating the value of that parameter will appear on screen when you operate a knob. STEP 1.Use the [SEL] key in the top panel INPUT section, ST IN section, or the STEREO/ MONO section, to select the channel to control. 2.Press one of the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. 3.Use the knobs of the SELECTED CHANNEL section and the buttons in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen to edit the parameters of the selected channel.

SELECTED CHANNEL section Reference Manual 7 SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screenSEND fieldIn this field, you can view the send level and pre/post from the channel to each MIX/MATRIX bus. You can also switch the on/off status of the send signals. The view and the function of the knobs and buttons in the SEND field vary depending on whether a pair of bus channels (odd-numbered and even-numbered) are comprised of two mono channels or a stereo channel.1 Ta b s Enable you to select a group of 16 output bus channels to be displayed in the SEND field. •MIX1-16 tab............................ displays MIX buses 1-16. •MIX17-24/MATRIX tab........... displays MIX buses 17-24 and MATRIX buses 1-8.If the destination bus channels are two mono channels: 1 SEND knob Adjusts the send level to the corresponding bus. 2 PRE indicator The type of the corresponding bus is indicated. If the type is VARI [PRE EQ] or VARI [PRE FADER], and if the PRE button on the MIX SEND 8ch screen is turned ON, the type is displayed. 3 ON button Switches the send signal to the corresponding bus on or off. If the destination bus is a stereo channel: 1 SEND/PAN knob The right-hand knob adjusts the level of the signal sent to a pair of bus channels (even- numbered and odd-numbered). The left-hand knob adjusts the pan and balance of the same signal. 2 PRE indicator The type of the corresponding bus is indicated. 3 ON button Switches the send signal to the two buses on or off. NOTE• If the type of the destination bus is set to FIXED, controllers 2 and 3 mentioned above will not be displayed. • Press the SEND knob or PAN knob on screen to open the SEND 8ch window. 1 1 2 3 1 2 3
SELECTED CHANNEL section Reference Manual 8 GAIN/PATCH fieldThis field enables you to make HA (head amp) analog or digital gain settings. You can also view the operational status of the head amp.1 GAIN knob Sets the analog gain/digital gain of the head amp. Press the knob to open the GAIN/PATCH 1ch window. 2 GC indicator Indicates the fixed gain value output to the audio network if the Gain Compensation function is turned on. 3 OVER indicator Warns you when the signal is clipping. 4 Ø (Phase) indicator Indicates the status of the phase setting. 5 +48V indicator Indicates the phantom power (+48V) on or off status for the head amp. 6 HPF ON indicator Indicates the HPF on/off status of the external head amp. 7 AG-DG LINK indicator Indicates a link between the analog gain and digital gain of the head amp. 8 Digital/Analog gain value If analog gain is assigned to the GAIN knob, the digital gain value is shown here. If digital gain is assigned to the GAIN knob, the analog gain value is shown here. NOTE• For an input channel that is patched to an input that has no head amp, 1 , 2, 5, 6, and 7 will not be shown. For an output channel, 1 - 7 will not be shown. • If a GAIN KNOB FUNCTION is set to DIGITAL GAIN in the USER SETUP PREFERENCE screen, the digital gain knob will appear for 1 , and 2, 5, 6, and 7 will not be displayed. For details, refer to “HA (head amp) settings” (page 29). PAN/BALANCE fieldThis field enables you to switch the on/off status of the signal sent from the selected channel to the STEREO/MONO bus, and adjust the pan and balance. The view and the function of the controllers in this field vary depending on the type of the selected channel. When an input channel or MIX channel is selected:1 TO STEREO PAN knob Sets the pan position of a signal routed to the STEREO bus. Press the knob to open the STEREO/MONO 8ch window. If the ST IN channel is selected, you can specify whether to view the PAN knob or the BALANCE knob in this window. For a MIX channel, the PAN knob will appear if the signal is mono, and the BALANCE knob will appear if the signal is stereo. NOTE• For mono input channels, the pan level is nominal at center and +3dB when panned either left or right. These levels do not change even if channel link is used. • For ST IN channels, if the PAN knob is selected, the pan level is nominal when panned either left or right and -3dB at center. If the BALANCE knob is selected the balance level is nominal at center and +3dB when panned either left or right. These levels do not change even if channel link is used. 2 ST/MONO button Switches the on/off status of a signal sent from the channel to the STEREO/MONO bus. If an INPUT/MIX channel is set to LCR mode, the LCR button appears in location 2.The LCR button is an overall on/off switch for the signals sent from the channel to the STEREO/MONO bus. When a MATRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel is selected: 1 BALANCE knob If the signal on the selected channel is stereo, the BALANCE knob will appear, enabling you to adjust the volume balance for the left and right channels. If the channel signal is monaural, the BALANCE knob is not shown and cannot be used. Press the knob to open the TO STEREO 8ch window. 4 1 7 63 5 8 2 1 22 1
