4.7.2 Using the PAN/BAL key
Pressing the
PAN/BAL
key brings up a display screen
allowing the viewing and setting of a number of the
pan and balance parameters for a number of different
modules:
There are two screens, the first for the input modules
1 through 16, and the second for input modules 17
through 32. The stereo inputs are visible and their
parameters may be adjusted in both screens.
Press the
PAN/BAL
key repeatedly to cycle between
these screens.
In the screen shown above, channels 1 and 2 are
linked into a stereo pair.
The left switch of each POD acts as a centering
switch, and the right switch of odd-numbered mono
modules allows “ganging” of two mono inputs.
The POD for the even-numbered switch of a stereo
linked pair is disabled—the odd-numbered pod must
be used here.
Note that the image control is not available from this
screen—this parameter can be set from the
MODULE
screen only.
4.8 Pad and phase(
Φ
)
The digital pad and phase of the input signal may be
adjusted from the
MODULE
screen, as well as
through a dedicated screen, allowing the viewing and
adjustment of the parameters for many modules.
4.8.1 Using the MODULE screen
In the EQ/AUX screen, the knob of the fourth POD
of the fourth row is used to adjust the digital pad. The
pad values are from 0 dB to –36 dB in 0.5 dB steps.
4.8.2 Using the PAD/phase key
There are two screens available for control of the
input modules’ digital pads and phase settings. The
first screen controls channels 1 through 16, and the
second controls channels 17 through 32. Both control
the two stereo inputs and the stereo output.
These settings are made using the POD knobs to con-
trol the digital pads, and the POD left switches to
control the input channel phase.
The possible pad parameter values are the same as
for the
MODULE
screen.
The two stereo inputs, and any channels that have
been linked into a stereo pair, can have the phase set
independently for each channel of the pair, allowing
compensation for mis-wired microphone pairs, etc.
The phase of the stereo outputs cannot be changed,
though a pad is available for the stereo output.
NOTE
This digital pad is not related to the analog
pad which forms part of the analog input cir-
cuitry of channels 1 through 8.
