diamond - Input and Pan Parameters
Input and pan parameters are available for all sources. The exact parameters depend on the format of the source and how
it is connected.
Mono Sources
For a microphone source, you can adjust input parameters in the analog domain (before the A-D converter) AND in the
digital domain (after the converter). For other source types (line-level, IP, AES3, MADI), only the digital domain parameters
are supported.
The analog (mic preamp) section includes:
Mic
- mic preamp gain from +0dB (or -20dB with Pad) to +70dB.
48V
- 48V phantom power.
Pad
- 20dB Pad (reduces the mic gain by 20dB). When the Pad is active, the Mic gain value updates accordingly.
High Pass Filter
- a high pass
‘rumble’
filter to roll-off subsonic frequencies. The roll-off point can be set to 40Hz, 80Hz
or 140Hz.
In the digital domain, you can adjust:
Phase
- phase reverse.
Gain
- channel gain from -30dB to +18dB.
Pan
- left/right panning onto the stereo buses.
Stereo Sources
For a stereo source, there are some additional parameters to deal with changes to the incoming audio. For example, if there
is no signal present at the right input, you can turn on L->B (Left to
Both).
The complete parameter list is as follows:
Phase
- phase reverse for the left input.
Gain
- channel gain from -30dB to +18dB.
Basis
- left/right width.
Stereo
or
M/S
- changes the mode of operation from normal stereo to MS->XY decoding (described below).
L→B
- the left input is routed to both sides of the stereo channel.
R→B
- the right input is routed to both sides of the stereo channel.
Mono
- left and right inputs are summed with a -3dB gain offset.
Side
- the left input and right input are reversed (left input to right side of channel, and right input to left side of
channel).
Pan
- left/right panning (balance) onto the stereo buses.
