Axia Quasar User Manual page 39

The "CR guest" source type is intended for microphones located at guest positions within the
same control room as the Quasar surface. The built-in logic functions will mute the CR monitors
when the source is turned on, and provide GPIO logic for an optional Guest Control Panel that
uses GPIO to remotely control Channel ON/OFF/MUTE and Talkback functions. The steps for
setup are similar to the ones outlined in the last section.
From the Source type drop-down, select "CR Guest Microphone" and type in a friendly name of
up to 10 characters in Source name.
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.
For additional control, you have the option to define the Mic Node physical input which allows
for input gain and Phantom Power control directly from the surface.
You might also want to select "PreAmp Gain Adjust" in the Knob function drop down.
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 Quasar master module.
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 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.
•
If Mic Gain Adjust is selected , the board op will be able to use the knob to quickly boost
or cut the level of the Analog Mic Preamp stage in the xNode to compensate for audio
that's too "hot" or too low.
•
If Line Input 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 Line Input stage to compensate for audio that's
too "hot" or too low.
•
Automix Weight Control is for adjusting the automix weight priority for the selected
channel strip. The Automix can then be Enabled or Disabled using the dedicated button
right below the fader
