The Channel LCD
Each channel features its own dedicated display which can operate in one of two views:
Normal View
– provides parameter feedback and input metering and is displayed when the channel
Setup
button
is turned off.
Channel Setup View
– provides access to the Channel Setup pages by pressing the channel
Setup
button.
Note that on channel 1, a third view (
System Setup
) is also used to access the system-wide setup options. See Pages 19
and 21 for details on the Channel Setup and System Setup options. Here we will look at the Normal View:
Channel Number
– e.g. ch 1
Displays the channel number from 1 to 4.
Channel Name
– Madge Vox 1
This area shows the name of the channel.
Channel Memory Number
– M1
This area shows the number of the last channel memory to be saved or loaded, from
M1
to
M99
. Note that if this number is marked with an asterisk (*) then the channel
has been edited since the last save or load.
Horizontal Input Meter
This area is used for input metering. You may choose either VU metering, as in our
example, or digital peak level metering. This option is set globally across all 4
channels from the
System Setup
pages.
Pre-amp name
– THE GUV
Shows the name of the current mic pre-amp emulation.
Harmonics amount
– 13
This shows the amount of harmonic distortion added to the channel. A value from
0
to
15
is displayed.
Input Type
– MIC
Displays whether the channel is switched to its
MIC
,
LINE
or digital input; when
switched to a digital input, this area displays the digital input pre-selection from the
channel setup pages (e.g.
Ether 1
= channel 1 from the Ethersound card).
Input Gain
– 20dB
Shows the input gain, as set using the rotary encoder, in dB.
