M/S screen

For two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input
channels (or ST IN channel L/R), these settings convert the
two-channel signal from an MS mic into L/R signals.

A S-GAIN knob
This knob sets the proportionate level of the S mic rela-
tive to the level of the M mic. The current value is
shown in the numerical box at the right.
At the MONO position, the S mic level will be at –∞, at
the STEREO position the M mic and S mic will be at
the same level, and at the EXP.ST position the S mic
level will be +10 dB.
B M/S DECODE ON/OFF
This button switches M/S decoding on/off for two
adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input chan-
nels (or ST IN channel L/R). M/S decoding can be
switched on even for channels that are not assigned as a
stereo pair.
C Channel
This is the number and name of the input channel.
Hint
M/S is a stereo recording technique in which two micro-
phones are used; a uni-directional M (Middle) mic and a bi-
directional S (Side) mic. The M mic captures the main signal
and the S mic captures the directional signal, and the sum
(M+S) and difference (M-S) of the two signals (this procedure
is known as "decoding") is recorded on the L and R channels
respectively.

INPUT VIEW function

This screen lists the mix parameters of the currently
selected input channel. In this screen you can also edit the
M/S

This is the number of the input channel you are edit-
ing. If the input channel is paired (or if a ST IN channel
is selected), a heart symbol is displayed at the right.
You can click this symbol to enable/disable pairing for
the input channel.
This area indicates the input port that is patched to the
input channel, the setting of the internal head amp
(PM5D-RH model only) or external head amp, and the
input level. In this screen you can also adjust the head
amp gain and switch phantom power (+48V) on/off.
This area shows the attenuation and ø (phase) settings.
You can also adjust the attenuation and switch the
phase from this screen.
