Setting the Gain Compensation function
If you are using an I/O rack (such as an Rio3224-D) on a Dante network, you can maintain the constant
level of signal output to the audio network by using the Gain Compensation function. If the FOH
console and the monitoring console are sharing an I/O rack, or if you are performing digital recording
via Dante connections, using this function will maintain the signal output at a constant level from the
I/O rack to the network even if the analog gain value on the I/O rack is changed.
To do so, follow the steps below:
1.
Sets the analog gain as described previously.
2.
Press one of the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen for the selected channel will appear.
3.
Press the GAIN field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen.
The GAIN/PATCH popup window will appear.
4.
Press the GC button located to the right of the A. GAIN knob.
When the function is turned on, the button will light. Press the button once again to turn it off.
If you adjust the analog gain value while the Gain Compensation function is turned on, the input
level from the head amp will change accordingly. However, the level of the signal output to the
audio network will automatically be corrected to the level obtained when you turned the function
on. Under this condition, if you turn gain compensation off while in this state, the analog gain and
the compensated gain of the I/O rack will return to the settings that were in effect when you
turned gain compensation on. Therefore, the signal level on the audio network will remain the
same.
Adjusting the digital gain
If the Gain Compensation function is turned on, digital gain will be used to adjust the level of the signal
input to the CL's input channels.
Follow the steps below:
1.
Press the [SEL] key for the input channel that you want to control.
2.
Press one of the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen for the selected channel will appear.
3.
Press the GAIN field.
The GAIN/PATCH popup window will appear.
4.
Use multifunction knob 8 to adjust the D. GAIN parameter.
NOTE
• Press the SETUP button, then the USER SETUP button, select the PREFERENCE tab, and then
set the GAIN KNOB FUNCTION to DIGITAL GAIN. You will be able to adjust the digital gain value
by using the GAIN knob on the corresponding channel strip or the GAIN knob in the SELECTED
CHANNEL section.
• You can also operate the digital gain by assigning INPUT GAIN → DIGITAL GAIN to a USER
DEFINED knob, or by assigning an ALTERNATE function to a USER DEFINED key.
