Input channels Reference Manual 33 Relationship between analog and digital gain while Gain Compensation is onIf Gain Compensation is on, adjusting the analog gain by a specific amount will cause the I/O device to output to the audio network a signal that is attenuated by the same amount. Therefore, the signals on the audio network will maintain a constant corrected level in the digital domain. For example, assume that the analog gain value has been set to +30 dB and Gain Compensation is now turned on. Under this condi tion, if you raise the analog gain value to +45 dB, the level of the signal sent to the audio network will stay at +30 dB (that is, attenuated by -15 dB). At this time, the gain of each signal input to the CL series console will be adjusted by the digital gain parameter of the CL series console. If the FOH console and the monitoring console are sharing one I/O device, adjusting the analog gain on the FOH console will not affect the input level on the monitoring console, because the level of the signal on the audio network is maintained at a constant level. However, please note that if the signal is distorted due to a high level of analog gain, you must first turn the Gain Compensation function off, set the gain to an appropriate input level, and then turn the function back on. If you try to lower the analog gain level while the Gain Compensation function is on, the signal on the audio network will be amplified by the same amount due to the Gain Compensation function, and the signal will remain distorted. NOTE You can perform this operation by assigning the Gain Compensation on/off function to one of the USER DEFINED keys. Sending the signal from an input channel to the STEREO/MONO busThe STEREO bus and MONO bus are used to send signals to the main speakers. There are two ways to send signals to the STEREO bus or MONO bus: ST/MONO mode and LCR mode. You can select the mode individually for each channel. These two modes differ as follows. ST/MONO modeThis mode sends signals from the input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus independently. • Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus can be switched on or off individually. • The panning of a signal sent from an input chan nel to the STEREO bus L/R is controlled by the TO ST PAN knob. (Signals sent to the MONO bus are not affected by this knob.) • The left/right volume balance of a signal sent from an ST IN channel to the STEREO bus is controlled by this knob. If PAN/BALANCE mode is set to PAN, you will be able to adjust the pan position of signals sent to the STEREO bus L/R individually ( page 34). LCR modeThis mode sends input channel signals to three buses (STEREO (L/R) and MONO (C)) simultaneously. • Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and MONO bus will be switched on or off collectively. • The CSR (Center Side Ratio) knob specifies the level ratio between signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO (L/R) bus and to the MONO (C) bus. • The TO ST PAN knob/BALANCE knob specifies the level of signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO (L /R) bus and MONO (C) bus. NOTE If you want to monitor the signal of the STEREO bus or MONO bus through headphones or similar devices, press the MONITOR button in the Function Access Area to select “LCR” as the monitor source before you continue with the following procedure.

Input channels Reference Manual 37 Sending a signal from an input channel to a MIX/ MATRIX busThe MIX buses are used mainly for the purpose of sending signals to foldback speakers on stage, or to external effect processors. The MA TRIX buses are used to produce a mix that is independent of the STEREO bus or MIX buses, and is typically sent to a master recorder or to a backstage monitoring system. You can send a signal from an input channel to a MIX/MATRIX bus in the following three ways. Using the Selected Channel sectionWith this method, you use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using th is method, signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses can be adjusted collectively. Using the Centralogic sectionWith this method, you use the multifunction knobs in the Centralogic section to adjust the level of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, the signals sent from eight consecutive input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously.Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode)With this method, you switch the CL series unit to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the faders on the top panel to adjust the level of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals sent from all input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously.Using the Selected Channel sectionThis section explains how to use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels of signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses. NOTE • If you want to monitor the signal being sent to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus, use the Bank Select keys in the Centralogic section to access the corresponding MIX/MATRIX channel, and then press the appropriate [CUE] key in the Centralogic section. MIX buses can be either a FIXED type whose send level is fixed, or a VARI type whose send level is variable. The MATRIX buses are all VARI type. You can switch between FIXED and VARI types for each two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX buses. To do so, press the SETUP button and then the BUS SETUP button to open the BUS SETUP window. If the MIX bus is a FIXED type A gray circle is displayed instead of th e TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob, and you cannot adjust the send level. For a VARI type MIX bus or a MATRIX bus The TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob is displayed in the same color as the corresponding knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL sectio n. In this case, you can use the corresponding knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send level. STEP 1. Assign an output port to each MIX/MATRIX bus to which you want to send signals, and connect your monitor system, external ef fects processor, or other device to the corresponding output port. 2. Use the [SEL] keys on the top panel to select the input channel that will send signals to the MIX/MATRIX bus. 3. Press one of the knobs in th e Selected Channel section. 4. Turn on the ON button in the SEND field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen. 5. Turn on the TO MIX/MATRIX SEND ON/OFF button for the send-destination MIX bus. 6.

Input channels Reference Manual 38 If the MIX/MATRIX bus is a stereo bus You can link the main parameters of tw o adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX/MATRIX buses. If the send-destination MIX/MATRIX bus is assigned as stereo, the left knob of the two adjacent TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL kn obs will operate as the TO MIX/MATRIX PAN knob. (If BALANCE mode is selected in the TO STEREO/MONO window, it will operate as a BALANCE knob). NOTE• For a MONO channel, the right knob will adjus t the common send level to the two MIX/MATRIX buses, and the left knob will adjust the panning between the two MIX/MATRIX buses. Rotating the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob counter-clockwise will increase the amount of signal sent to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it clockwise will increase the amount sent to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus. • For a STEREO channel, if BALANCE mode has been selected on the TO STEREO/MONO window, the right knob adjusts the common send level for the two MIX/MATRIX buses, and the left knob adjusts the volume balance of the left and right signals sent to the two MIX/MATRIX buses. Rotating the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob counter-clockwise will increase the amount of signal sent from the L-channel to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it clockwise will increase the amount sent from the R-channel to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus. If PAN mode has been selected in the TO STEREO/MONO window, the left knob will function as the PAN knob. The right knob function will be the same as in BALANCE mode. Using the Centralogic sectionYou can use the multifunction knobs in the Cent ralogic section to adjust the send level of signals sent from eight consecutive input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus. NOTE • If you want to monitor a signal being sent to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus, use the Bank Select keys to assign the corresponding MIX channel to the Centralogic section, and then press the [CUE] key for that MIX/MATRIX channel. • In the OVERVIEW screen, you can also adjust the send level of the signal sent to the MIX/ MATRIX buses.
