From the Source Type droptown, select "CR guest" and type in a friendly name of up to 10 characters.
In the Primary Source field, enter the mic's Channel Number, either by typing it in or using the Browse button
to the right of the field to select the source from your network's source list.
You can leave the rest of the options at their default settings. Press the OK button at the bottom of the page and
you've just created a Guest Mic Source Profile.
Other Helpful Options: Knob Function
Pressing the Channel Options encoder at the top of any fader strip opens the Channel Option screen on your
Fusion's monitor; rotation of the knob then navigates you through the options available to you: selecting a different
source, applying EQ or Pan/Balance settings, and other adjustments.
However, the action taken when the board operator rotates the Options knob without pressing it can be tailored to
your studio's preferred operating style via the setting in the Source Profile's Knob Function dropdown box.
If PreAmp Gain Adjust is selected , the board op will be able to use the knob to quickly boost or cut the
•
level of the source at its Input stage to compensate for audio that's too "hot" or too low.
•
If Fader Trim Level is selected, the control does not affect the Input gain of the source, but simply adjusts
the range of the fader itself. This is useful when one of a group of similar audio sources is higher or lower
than its siblings, and the operator wants to maintain a similar physical fader position.
Other Helpful Options: Default Backfeed
The other Source Profile option that's important to microphone sources is found in the Default Backfeed
Options box.
In Axia parlance, "Backfeed" refers to any audio that's sent back to an audio source (such as a microphone,
codec or phone caller) from the console. When pressing the Talkback key on a fader strip, the board-op's mic is
routed, pre-fader, to the "backfeed" of that channel — an IFB function, if you will. This may be a Mix-Minus for
phone or codec sources, or a private headphone feed for microphone positions.
The Dim gain setting defines the amount of cut, in dB, by which the Backfeed's normal audio is adjusted, so that
the board-op can be better heard in the mic-user's headphones.
Other Mic Profile Types
In addition to the Operator and CR Guest mic profiles, several other types are provided: CR producer, Studio
guest, and External microphone are also available.
CR producer is intended for a Show Producer's mic loated in the same studio as the mixing console, so its
GPIO logic functions mute the CR monitors, and specialized GPIO functionality permits the producer to talk (using
Backfeeds, Axia's name for internal foldback, or IFB) to any source with a Backfeed that is assigned to the Preview
(cue) channel.
Studio guest is used for mics located in an adjacent studio — for instance, a talk studio for stations hosting Talk
formats, or a music format with a morning show crew. The Studio guest source type logic mutes the Studio monitor
