Input Channels / Master Channel
There are a total of 16 input channel strips and one master channel strip
on DC16. From top to bottom each strip contains the following:
• SEL (Select) Buttons
A select button does exactly what it sounds like it does. It selects that
input or output, readying it for immediate editing purposes.
The selected input or output will be presented in the Selected Channel
display in the upper-left corner of DC16 (next to the channel editing
buttons), regardless of what bank of channels or output is currently
viewed in the remaining 16 ID displays.
As seen to the right, select buttons illuminate white when engaged
(although only one input or output may be selected at a time).
This button is also used in conjunction with the ASSIGN button
as described on pages 58-59.
• MUTE Buttons
Mute buttons mute – turn off – the signal on the selected input(s)
and/or output(s). However, what's muted is dependent on the selected
mix. In other words, with LR selected it displays the LR mute for the
channel, but with an aux selected it displays either the LR mute or aux
mute depending on the setting of "Use LR Mute" for that aux.
Engaging a mute button provides the same result as sliding a fader
all the way down.
As seen to the right, mute buttons illuminate red when engaged.
• 100 mm motorized touch sensitive faders
The input channel faders adjust the level of the associated channel
going to the selected mix and the master channel fader adjusts
the output level of the selected mix [LR, aux masters, reverb and delay
master sends, sub outs, VCAs and matrices].
Additionally, as stated in the title, these faders are "touch sensitive". What this means is that the faders
have set points as dictated by your fingers (or other conductive material; anyone mixing via toes,
perhaps?). If non-conductive material is used to move the faders – a plastic pen or wooden back
scratcher, for example – the faders will return back to their original set points after a few seconds.
If muted by a VCA or Mute Group, this button's LED will
flash on and off.
While a single fader controls the output level of each output, each output is independent
of the others. Once the selected mix has been chosen, move the master fader up and down
to make adjustments.
If reverb or delay is selected, the fader controls the master send into the corresponding
FX processor.
