X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual
7.3 Meters Screen
The meters screen displays different groups of level meters for various signal
paths of the console, and is useful for quickly ascertaining if any channels need
level adjustment. A Real Time Analyzer has also been added for frequency
monitoring of various sources.
The meter screen contains the following separate screen tabs, each containing
level meters for the following signal paths:
1. Channel:
•
Level meters and fader levels for the 32 input channels
•
Gate response meters for the 16 input channels
•
Gain reduction meters for the 16 input channels
2. Mix Bus:
•
Level meters, fader levels, and gain reduction meters for the
16 bus masters
•
Level meters, fader levels, and gain reduction meters for the
6 matrix outputs
•
Level meters, fader levels, and gain reduction meters for the stereo
main bus and the mono bus
3. Aux/FX:
•
Level meters for the 6 auxiliary sends
•
Level meters and fader levels for the 8 auxiliary returns
•
Level meters and fader levels for the 4 stereo effects returns
4. In/Out:
•
The 32 input channels
•
The 8 auxiliary returns
•
The 6 auxiliary sends
•
The two rear panel digital outputs
•
Monitor outputs
•
The 16 rear panel analog outputs
•
The P16 Ultranet outputs
5. RTA:
The Real Time Analyzer provides accurate feedback of source frequencies in either
bargraph or spectrograph form, allowing problematic or feedback frequencies to
be quickly identified. The frequency information can be viewed on the dedicated
RTA tab, but can also be overlayed on top of the channel parametric EQ or the
31-band EQ in an FX slot. The 6 encoders allow adjustment for all 3 scenarios.
1. Rotate the first encoder to cycle through the 6 check boxes to select various
designations. Press the encoder to check the box.
Channel EQ Defaults
The channel parametric EQ defaults to post-EQ, allowing you to see the results
of your EQ adjustments in real time on the analyzer. Select the 'Pre EQ' box to
monitor the RTA independent of channel adjustments. Select the 'Spectrograph'
box to view in spectrograph form instead of the default bargraph.
GEQ Defaults
Per default, the 31-band EQ will display the RTA information at the bus in which
the EQ is inserted (for example, Main LR). Select the 'Use RTA Source' box to
display the RTA source (see encoder 6). To view the frequencies as they are
adjusted by the EQ, select the 'Post GEQ' box. Select the 'Spectrograph' box to
view in spectrograph form instead of the default bargraph.
RTA Source
When the 'Solo Priority' box is selected, the RTA source will be replaced with
the monitor solo bus whenever a channel solo is active. This option is useful
for analyzing a group of channels concurrently, or only briefly analyzing other
channels than the fixed RTA source. This affects both the GEQ RTA view and the
dedicated RTA tab view.
2. Press the 2nd encoder to view the frequencies on the RTA tab as a bargraph
or spectrograph. Note that this does not affect the channel EQ or 31-band EQ
view. The spectrograph view displays frequencies over a 10 second window,
which may make it easier to identify highly dynamic source material.
3. Press the 4th encoder to enable Auto Gain, which is recommended for most
situations to ensure meaningful readings. However, when disabled, the gain
can be manually adjusted with the encoder which may be necessary for
comparing absolute frequency band levels between different channels.
4. Adjust the 5th encoder to set the EQ overlay transparency of the analyzer on
top of the channel or 31-band EQ. When set to 0%, the RTA will not be visible
on the EQ screens. Press the encoder to set the source as Pre or Post EQ.
5. Adjust the 6th encoder to select the RTA source. This can be dynamic if you
would like to monitor the currently selected channel or monitor source, or a
fixed channel can be selected (for use with a dedicated measurement mic,
for example).
