AES screen
The AES screen gives the possibility to choose between AES 3 or AES 42. The AES 42 is the AES format for
digital microphones. The Nagra Seven will supply the 10V power for the digital microphones (known as mode 1),
but does not run the entire protocol to control the microphones dynamically (mode 2). The 10V supply is only
available when the inputs or clock reference are selected to digital, and will be cut is analog inputs or other
references are selected.
The SRC Sample Rate Converter can also be activated making sure there are no synchronization issues
between the digital microphones / inputs and the recorder.
Slate microphone
The front panel of the recorder is fitted with a built-in microphone or “Slate mic”. The operational parameters
of the slate mic can be set on this screen. The “Button mode” can be set to either “Normal” where the mic is
active as long as the icon on the main display is pressed, or “Toggle” which will toggle ON/OFF upon each
press.
The destination button allows the user to decide where the slate microphone will be recorded when it is
active, the possible choices are Left channel, Right channel or Both.
The Recording mode allows the slate mic to replace any existing audio input on the destination channel(s) or
for the audio to be mixed to the existing audio input of the destination channels.
The boost function allows the user to adjust the level of the slate mic.
