panel.
GAIN
With the gain control, the source level is adjusted to the required internal mixer level.
This is for both Mic/Line inputs as well as the USB inputs.
LINE - USB
The stereo line input is a high impedance input for connecting any stereo line level
device such as CD players, iPods, tape decks etc. The USB switch changes the mod-
ule into a USB in and out module. The USB connector will communicate with play-
record devices such as computers using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), Windows
Media Player, and/or CD players using a USB output connector. It is an input that
can be connected to any standard USB connector on PC's to make an easy interface
with music programs running on the PC. When the USB connection is made between
the Airmate-USB and your PC, your computer will recognizes the USB device as new
hardware. A small green led lights when data is sent over the USB cable.
In Windows Media Player, you can change settings to allow it to work as a player or
recorder.
The controls of the input modules have the following functions.
MIC
The Mic input is a professional balanced input circuit with 48volt phantom powering
for condenser mikes which delivers studio-class microphone quality to your announc-
er/DJ channel.
EQUALIZER
Each input module has a three band equalizer to control the high, mid, and low fre-
quencies individually at carefully chosen frequencies.
AUX SEND
Below the Equalizer is the stereo Aux send control that can send mono Mic or stereo
source signals (pre or post fader via PCB jumper settings) to the stereo Aux Send
buss. The factory default is post fader.
CUE
Below the Aux send is the stereo CUE switch (Pre Fader Listening), this switch allows
you to check the signal before you mix it with the other signals in the Airmate-USB.
ON
The ON switch is used to make a connection that can start turntables and CD play-
ers as well as jingle or cart machines. This switch sends out a momentary pulse or
switches continuously inside the Start connector on the module back plate at the rear
of the mixer. See "Start switch" on page 4.
