4.5.4 SETUP >> MIXING LEVEL
The [MIXING LEVEL] button on the [LINE OUT] [AUX AES] [MIX] and
[PHONES] pages defines the attenuation to be applied to each track
when summing (mixing) multiple tracks onto the same output or track;
the attenuation is computed to avoid a digital clipping. The mixing
attenuation is set with the encoder wheel from 0 to +6dB, the choice
depends essentially on the phase coincidence of the sources.
• 0 dB no attenuation at all
• - 1.5 dB mainly used if the sources have no phase coincidence
• - 3.0 dB recommanded for phase coincident sources such as
stereo or M/S microphone
• - 6.0 dB only used if the sources are absolutely in phase
The table below summarizes the exact attenuations applied according to the number of summed track.

4.5.5 Reference Tone Generator
A 1 kHz Reference Tone Generator can be toggled On or Off from the [OUTPUTS] menu. When turned On, the
reference tone is sent to all assigned tracks regardless if armed or not.
The reference level can be adjusted from 0dBFS to -60dBFS with the encoder wheel.
NOTE: a "double wave" symbol is posted on the main screen when the reference tone is enabled.
