Connecting an Input
Now that we have assigned Mic/Line 1 to INPUT 1 of channel 1, we need to adjust the input
level of the microphone.
1.
Press the SETUP button under the LCD display and use the PARAMETER encoder to
scroll alphabetically to the ANALOGUE INPUTS menu.
2.
Press the SETUP button again, which should be flashing. Use the PARAMETER encoder
to select 'Mic/Line 1'.
3.
If the microphone you are using requires 48v phantom power then press the RIGHT
ARROW button to move to the PHANTOM POWER setting, where you can turn the phantom
power for that input ON or OFF by pressing the DOWN ARROW to move to the ON/OFF
field then using the PARAMETER encoder.
4.
Press the LEFT ARROW button to move to the GAIN section.
Press the PFL (CUE) button on channel 1 and the MONITOR button next to the VU or
5.
PPM meters found on the meter bridge.
6.
You may now use the PARAMETER encoder to adjust the input level of the microphone
and monitor the input level on the VU or PPM meter.
7.
Once you are happy with input level, press the SETUP button again.
You should note that the Mic/Line inputs can be used for either Microphone or Line level input
signals. There is no difference in hardware, only you will need to apply more gain to Mic inputs
than to Line inputs.
It is however CRUCIALLY important to ensure that PHANTOM POWER is only used when it is
needed to avoid potential damage to either the source outputs or the console inputs.
NOTE: Always ensure that Phantom Power is TURNED OFF before connecting to ANY of the
MIC/LINE inputs on the Rear of the RM1d. This caution applies also to the RTB input
which functions in the same manner.
Channel Output Assignment
You will need to assign Channel 1 to the STE 1 (PROG) Master bus output in order to monitor
the input signal.
To do this:
1.
Press the EDIT button on the channel strip, that has Mic Input 1 assigned to it.
Press the STE 1 (PROG) button on the EDIT STRIP to assign the selected channel. You
2.
will notice the STEREO 1 (PROGRAM) legend will illuminate in the status window.
3.
Now slowly raise the Master Fader for STE 1 (PROG) , (in the Master Section on the right
of the RM1d), followed by the Fader for Channel 1. You should now be able to speak
into the Microphone, and hear the signal through the speakers connected to the STE 1
(PROG) output bus. Be Careful to avoid feedback!
