Sum creates L+R mono mix of incoming stereo
source and feeds it to both channels of assigned
bus(es).
SIGNAL MODE LOCK: Allows or disallows user’s
ability to change the source’s signal mode (as set
above) using controls on Element’s surface.
Unlocked allows the user to change modes if
needed.
Locked prevents changes to the signal mode.
SIGNAL PHASE: Allows for correction of out-of-
phase program material.
Normal assumes correct phase polarity of source
input material.
Invert left reverses phase on the left channel
input.
Invert right reverses phase on the right channel
input.
Invert left and right reverses phase on both
channel inputs.
PANORAMA POSITION: Lets you preset pan set-
tings for this input. Pan is variable in 25 steps, center
being 0, far left -12 and far right 12. This setting can
be adjusted on the fly by the operator.
AUTO-START TIMER: Determines whether the
event timer found in Element’s right-hand meter
display will reset to zero when this source’s fader is
turned on.
Disabled: timer will not reset when this source
is activated.
Enabled timer resets when the source is acti-
vated.
About Element EQ: Equalization is available
for all audio sources, and can be pre-dened
or adjusted on-the-y. Our EQ model is three-
band quasi-parametric. Controls are provided
for center frequency and boost/cut, with a
unique SmartQ™ automatic bandwidth system.
SmartQ works by varying the Q of the selected
parametric band proportional to the amount of
boost or cut you specify. A small amount of boost
or cut will affect a broader range of frequencies
for a warm, musically-pleasing effect. As gain is
increased the Q sharpens, affecting a narrower

range of frequencies for tighter control of target
bands. At aggressive cut levels, the EQ becomes a
tunable notch lter. SmartQ keeps the EQ sound-
ing natural at virtually all settings.
Pre-dened EQ can be entered during Source
Prole construction, and will be automati-
cally applied whenever that source is assigned
to a Element fader; i.e., a -2 dB 12 kHz high
shelf lter pre-set in a microphone’s Source
Prole will be applied when any surface, in
any studio, loads that mic for use.
At-will EQ is set by talent using Element’s Chan-
nel Options controls, and can be employed to
trim EQ on-the-y .
EQ STATUS: Bypass or make Active EQ for this
source.
EQ HIGH MODE: Choose between shelf or band
pass filter for high-frequency EQ.
EQ HIGH FREQUENCY: Sets the active frequency
for high-band EQ. If EQ HIGH MODE is set to Shelf,
this setting determines the top of the shelf. If EQ
HIGH MODE is set to Band pass, this sets the cen-
ter frequency of the BP filter (SmartQ determines
the width of the BP filter, as described above).
EQ MID FREQUENCY: Sets the center frequency of
the midrange parametric band.
EQ LOW FREQUENCY: Sets the center frequency of
the low parametric band.
EQ HIGH, MID & LOW GAIN: Provides 40 dB of
adjustment range for boost or cut of the three para-
metric bands, from -25 dB to +15 dB.
The following options dealing with dynam-
ics processor settings apply to Mic, Codec and
Phone sources only. If applied to other source
types, these settings will be ignored.
NOISE GATE STATUS: Turns the voice processor’s
noise gate on and off. Choose Bypass or Active.
COMPRESSOR STATUS: Turns the voice proces-
sor’s compressor functions on and off. Choose By-
pass or Active.
