Input Channels
Signal Flow
The console’s DSP supports 104 mono input channel paths.
Each path provides:
• Analogue input control (preamp gain and 48V)
• Digital input control (digital gain trim and phase reverse)
• A Low Cut Filter
• Dynamics (independent Gate and Compressor)
• Delay – assignable from a pool of 48 delay resources.
• Parametric EQ (4-band, with upper and lower bands
switchable to a shelf or high/low pass filter)
• Pre-fader Insert (external device or internal effects bay)
• Pan (or Balance and Width on stereo channels)
• Main level, Mute and Cue
• Aux Send Level (pre-fader, post-fader or independent)
• Matrix Send Level (post-fader)
An input Fader or Smart Panel controller can be either mono or
stereo (left/right). This decision is made when you patch inputs
to the control surface (from the PATCH IN grid).
Note that a stereo channel uses 2 mono DSP resources.
For now, we are going to concentrate on a mono input channel.
You can find more details on Stereo channels on Page 184.
