Adjusting Input levels

Levels for analog and Dante channels are adjustable in the Input tab.
To monitor input levels before they reach the ANIUSB-MATRIX, set the metering to Pre-gain in the Settings menu. When ad-
justing the faders, set metering to Post-gain.
Dante Sources
1. Check the source level before it reaches the Network Interface:
◦ Verify that the networked microphones or other Dante sources are operating at nominal output levels.
◦ Adjust levels for MXA microphones in Designer.
2. Adjust the digital gain in Designer:
◦ Use the faders or manually enter a gain value.
◦ The digital gain adjusts the level of the signal before it reaches the matrix mixer.
◦ Mix the levels as high as possible without the loudest channel reaching the peak level (0 dB) on the meter.
Note: The matrix mixer provides crosspoint gain, to adjust separate submixes for different outputs.
Analog Sources
Before you begin, verify that levels from the analog devices with adjustable output levels are operating at nominal levels. The
fader adjusts the digital gain before the signal reaches the matrix mixer.
1. Match the analog input level setting according to the incoming signal level:
Line: (+4 dBu)
Aux: (-10 dBV)
2. Use the fader (digital gain) to adjust the mix going to the USB or Dante output channels.

Adjusting Output Levels

Tip: Set the metering to post-fader in the settings menu to adjust output levels.
Adjust faders in the Outputs section as high as necessary, but make sure to avoid clipping (when the signal reaches 0 dBFS).
Always adjust the input gain and crosspoint gain in the matrix mixer before the output gain.
Analog output level:Select Line, Aux, or Mic level output signal to match the sensitivity of the receiving device.

Parametric Equalizer

Maximize audio quality by adjusting the frequency response with the parametric equalizer.
Common equalizer applications:
• Improve speech intelligibility
Check the Mute group box to add the channel to a group. Muting any channel within the
Mute group mutes all channels in the group.
Check the Fader group box to add the channel to a group. All faders within the group are
linked, and move together when a single fader is adjusted.
