  • Page 14: Source Selection

    P a g e | 14 2.1 Source Selection Key to the ease of operation of AVM-T-MIX is the simplicity by which audio may be monitored and/or mixed. As described previously, AVM-T-MIX is equipped with two completely independent mixer/monitor systems (Mixer 1 and Mixer 2). Each can be configured with its own setup and used in diverse applications.

  • Page 15: Analogue Audio Input Trim

    P a g e | 15 2.2 Analogue Audio Input Trim AVM-T-MIX is designed to be used with balanced or unbalanced analogue audio inputs. If one of the analogue inputs has been wired to an unbalanced signal source then the user may need to compensate for signal loss (typically -6dB).

  • Page 16: Channel Signal Format Selection - Stereo Mix/Mon Modes

    P a g e | 16 2.3 Channel Signal Format Selection – Stereo Mix/Mon Modes Applicable to Stereo Output Mixer Formats Only Channel formats can be defined as Stereo, Mono or a Group of 2 or more pairs (including 5.1 and LRC Downmix configurations). 2.3.1 Stereo Channel Format: To define a channel as Stereo, simply touch the...

    P a g e | 17 the image above. In 5.1 Downmix mode the LFE channel does not form part of the stereo sum. The user can adjust the level of the left sum against right via the balance control. The 5.1 Downmix algorithm follows the formula L+(C-3dB) + (Ls-3dB), R+(C-3dB) + (Rs- 3dB).

  • Page 18: Group Channel Format

    P a g e | 18 2.4.3 Group Channel Format: The four modes previously described for stereo mixer use (2 pair ADD, 2 pair OFF, 5.1 DMIX and LRC DMIX) remain active when a 5.1 mixer mode is activated however an additional mode, 5.1 ALL, now appears under the Grouping menu.

  • Page 19: Monitoring Input Channels - Solo Function

    P a g e | 19 2.5 Monitoring Input Channels – Solo Function Similar to a traditional rackmount audio monitoring unit, the AVM-T-MIX is used to listen to incoming signal sources – either exclusively or additively. The simplest way to achieve this is to touch the bargraph channel you wish to hear and then to select SOLO.

  • Page 20: Monitoring Input Channels - Mixer Function

    P a g e | 20 2.6 Monitoring Input Channels – Mixer Function One of the unique advantages of AVM-T-MIX over a more traditional Audio Monitoring Unit is the ability to mix sources together using the same methods found in assignable digital audio mixing consoles.

  • Page 21: Audio Mixers 1 And 2

    P a g e | 21 2.7 Audio Mixers 1 and 2 The AVM-T-MIX is equipped with two identical but independent 20 channel (10 stereo bargraph) audio mixers designed to enable the operator to create their own custom monitoring setups. On first power up, AVM-T-MIX displays the bargraphs associated with Mixer 1 as denoted by the mnemonic MIX 1 MASTER above the output bargraph pair as shown below.

  • Page 22: Configuring And Naming Input Channels

    P a g e | 22 2.8 Configuring and Naming Input Channels The physical audio connections into AVM-T-MIX comprise of 16 channels from HD-SDI (16 channels SDI 1, 8 channels SDI 2)), 8 AES pairs and 16 (or 8 stereo) analogue audio inputs. Each pair can be routed to any of the 10 channel bargraphs available to either Mixer 1 or Mixer 2 and to simplify operation, each input pair can be given a User Name.
