The In/Out Program
The In/Out program is a bypass program that feeds
input signal unaltered through processors to outputs.
This program has no adjustable parameters.
The Stereo Adjust Program
The Stereo Adjust program permits slight but important
adjustments to level and equalization when preparing
a compact disc master. It also allows digital fades to
true zero at the end of a track. It supplies a stereo digital
fader, as well as shelving equalization. The frequen-
cies of the shelving filters can be adjusted. In addition,
a SPATIAL EQ control allows adjustment in the digital
domain of this important property of recorded sound.
SPATIAL EQ (used in conjunction with BAS) increases
the stereo width at low frequencies, enhancing the
richness, spaciousness, and depth of the recording.
FIN (Fine Level)
FIN is identical to the LVL, but has a range of + 3.5 dB
the setting of LVL. This allows fine adjustment of level
while the mix is proceeding, without fear of over or
undershooting the desired setting. If in a mix you want
to make a level increase at some point of 4.5 dB, and
then drop back to zero, you can set the FIN to the
bottom of its range beforehand. Then readjust LVL so
that the attenuation is once again zero. Now the FIN
control will have a range of 0 to 7 dB of boost.
BAL (Balance)
BAL implements a sine/cosine balance adjustment.
Balance is smoothly adjusted over a wide range, with
excellent resolution in the critical area around zero.
The display indicates the actual channel gains as the
control is varied
ROT (Rotate)
ROT is similar to BAL, but it treats stereo information
somewhat differently. Any signal panned to the center
(mono) will be treated by ROT exactly as it would be
treated by BAL. However, if a signal is panned full right
and the control is moved toward the left, instead of
simply being attenuated (as BAL would do it) the right
channel is inverted in phase and added to the left
channel. A stereo image appears to rotate when this
control is used. Ambient information is preserved, and
both channels appear to retain equal loudness.

LVL (Level)
LVL is a stereo level control, with both channels equally
attenuated or boosted. From -12 to +12 the slider
moves in .25 dB increments. Below -12 it moves in .50
dB increments. Below -60 dB the calibration comes in
larger steps, finally dropping to zero output at -72 dB.
