Mic amp - preliminary input processing
There are two types of mic input channel controls: digital and remote. Most of the
controls are digital, which directly affect the parameters stored within the DSP.
However, a few controls can also be thought of as remote controls, which control the
physical components of the mic splitters and even components that are in the signal
path before it enters the digital domain.
The remote controls are 48V (phantom power), 30Hz filter switch and analogue step
gain control. They can be adjusted from the control centre, the GUI channel strip and
also from the front of the mic splitter itself.
The mic input area covers
