Parameters – Output Channels

 

 

Output Gain 

The range of the control over the input gain is –40dB to +15dB in 0.1dB steps. 
 

                                    Gain 

 

 
The display will show, for instance 
 

OP1    Output 1   Gain 
Output Gain = +6.0dB 

 
 

Output Polarity 

The polarity (or phase) of each output may be switched individually as below. 
 

 

 

 

          

-

 or 

+

 

 
The display will show, for instance 
 

OP1    Output 1   Polar. 
Polarity = [+] 

 
 

Output Delay 

The maximum available delay between any input and output is 650.00mS.  For example, if 
the input delay on channel A is set to 500mS, the maximum available output delay for any 
output fed from input A will be 150mS.   
 

 

  x 1mS      x 10uS     x0.3uS 

 
The display will show, for instance 
 

OP1    Output 1   Delay 
Delay = 0.0000mS 

 
 

Output High Pass Filter 

The high pass crossover filter on each output has a frequency range of <10Hz up to 32kHz in 
1/36

th

 Octave steps. 

 
If you try to set the high pass filter to a higher frequency than the low pass (which would be 
pointless and result in no output), the message High/Low Freq. Overlap! will be displayed.  
Note that to access the 48dB/Octave filters, parametric bands 6 & 7 need to be bypassed, or 
set to 0dB.
