Fig. 6.7 Turning the SMX-6 Lock Feature On Sets All Gain Controls to –100 dB
Input: Sets the input gain for each channel. When a gain control is turned down as far as it will go (–100 dB) the
input control will say "Off". The range of the gain controls is +25 to –100 dB. The gain can be increased and
decreased in ½ dB steps with S+ Z and S + Y or a whole number can be entered directly (precede
negative numbers with a minus sign "-".
The input gain control has its own "emergency mute" feature. Pressing the "Space Bar" when a gain control is
selected immediately mutes the gain (sets it to –100 dB). This feature is a toggle. If the control is still selected, press
"Space Bar" again to toggle back to the previous setting. The previous level setting is lost if the cursor is moved
to another control.
All: The level of each output channel can be increased or decreased in 3 dB increments with the All controls. To
do so, select one of the controls labelled "03" under the "All" heading and press S + Z and S + Y to
increment or decrement it. The output level change will be reflected by an appropriate increase or decrease of
each input gain setting.
Tip: Turn on the Lock control to control all gain controls of both channels with either All control.
Bus: Turns on/off each channel's switchable "bus" output. The bus outputs receive the exact same post-
processed audio signal that the main outputs receive.
ASA: The Auto System Activate control serves three purposes. First it serves as a master control to turn all
automated control functions on and off. Turning it off restores manual control while turning it on restores automatic
operation.
Second, the ASA control serves as an entrance to the Sub-block screens where the automated control functions
are configured. To display the first Sub-block screen, highlight ASA and press E or Y. When ASA is on, the
correct status of the mixer may not be reflected in the control block.
Third, the ASA control can be used to tie several sensing mixers (SMX-6s or AMB-5s) together in a large IQ
