Nomad Input Trim Calibration
Software version 6.01 and higher adds an Input Trim Calibration for Nomad's 6 XLR inputs. This will allow the input trims to be
more accurate and align with each other.
Caution: If this procedure is not followed exactly it could make the input trims not function correctly and you may not be
able to recover normal trim operations and your Nomad will need to be sent back to the factory to be
re-calibrated which will not be covered under warranty. Please follow the instructions and do not perform this operation if
you are in the middle of a job. If you do run into an issue when calibrating you can reinstall software version 5.16.
1. Install software version 6.01 or higher on Nomad.
2. Perform a Factory Restore and re-start Nomad.
3. Let Nomad stay powered-up for at least 15 minutes to warm up the input gain circuitry.
4. Select the home screen that contains 2 output meters followed by 6 input meters. If Nomad is not displaying this screen
while calibrating the process will fail.
5. Connect a cable from XLR Output 1 to XLR Input 1 and a cable from XLR Output 2 to Input 2. This will cause feedback
which is normal.
6. Make sure that Nomads tone generator is set to -20dB then turn on TONE by holding the TONE button.
7. Adjust XLR Outputs 1 and 2 to -10dBu in the OUTPUT LEVELS menu.
8. Insure the tone level shows up on the input meters
9. From the ENG menu select the Advanced Setup menu and choose IN 1, 2 in the Trim Cal Chans menu.
