3. Mic/Line/Hi-Z Selector Button
Switch between three different modes for each preamp. Which mode to use depends on the instrument that you are
recording.
• Mic mode is for recording microphones. This mode offers up to 65dB of gain. Additionally, clicking the cog
wheel icon launches the Mic Emulations window.
• Line mode is for recording line-level sources like synthesizers, keyboards, samplers, effects units, players etc.
Up to 20dB of gain are available in this mode.
•
Hi-Z mode is for recording high-impedance instruments like the electric guitar. It has up to 39dB of gain. Hi-Z
mode is only available on Preamps 1 & 2, located on the front panel.
3.2.3 Synergy Core FX
Stack and bypass audio effects. The Antelope Audio FX Rack is explored in detail later in this manual.
3.2.4 MONITOR/HP1
Contains controls for the Discrete 4 SC monitor outputs and Headphone Output 1.
3.2.5 HEADPHONES 2 - 4
Contains controls for the Discrete 4 SC Headphone Outputs 2-4.
3.2.6 MONITORS & HEADPHONES
This is where you route the Discrete 4 SC analog & digital inputs to the 2 monitor or 4 headphone outputs. In this
mode, the following mode-specific controls are provided:
1. FX Button (in 16-channel view)
Opens the FX Rack where you stack and manipulate effects to form a Channel Strip.
2. BP Button
Used to bypass the FX you stacked onto each of the mixer's 16-channels. Useful for A/B-ing between "dry" and
processed audio, noting the changes that occur with the application of different effects.
3. Pan Knob
Used for panning the signal to the left or right in the Stereo field.
4. Gain Fader
Lets you adjust the volume level of each channel in dB. Gain meters are provided for monitoring volume level. Ideally,
none of the meters should be in the Red. This means the signal is too hot and digital clipping occurs, destroying the
audio.
