Detailed Channel Description
6
Input Metering
Above the channel are two high resolution 24 segment LED bargraph meters. These independently meter
the Channel and Monitor inputs for the channel below each respective meter and are calibrated in dBu
after the input gain stages.
Input Meters post input gain stages
The fast response peak meter has dened lines for
+24 dBu and +18 dBu as well as 0 dBu. The meter has a
fast ‘peak’ response and a slower release time to meter
peaks while still showing useful signal levels.
Channel DIRECT OUT
Each channel on
ORIGIN has a fully balanced DIRECT OUTput. This
'per channel' output provides a way to send the
selected path signal directly out of the channel strip.
This is normally post fader, but selectably pre-fader
using the PRE switch.
By default, the DIRECT OUTput is fed from the Small
Fader (SF) path as indicated by the red and green SF
and LF LEDs. This default routing can be swapped by
using the PATH FLIP switch.
The Channel Direct Out provides the cleanest record
path to the recorder and frees track buses for more
creative use. It also provides a simple way to print post
fader paths to a DAW to 'print' Mix Stems simplifying
mix revisions.
