50 en | Input & Mixer operation
Once the signal exceeds a certain threshold, the signal gets compressed. Major input level
changes result in minor output level changes. Narrowing the dynamic range often allows for
easier recording or mixing of the audio signal. It is recommended to start with low to
moderate levels of compression (25 - 40) and increase slowly if necessary.
TREBLE/MID/BASS controls
The EQ section of the input channel allows for a broad difference in the shaping of the
incoming audio signal within three frequency bands:
–
–
–
FX
The FX control is used to set the amount of effect you require on that channel. Using the FX
controls lets you easily assign an effect for musical instruments or vocals.
To determine the required level of effect:
1.
2.
PAN
The PAN control adjusts the amount of the signal coming out of the stereo L or stereo R
loudspeaker in a stereo setup. The PAN is not engaged for mono (single loudspeaker) setups.
DUCKER
The DUCKER reduces the level of the signal(s) on the other inputs whenever a signal is
detected at the selected MIC/LINE input (INPUT 1 or INPUT 2). If no signal is detected at the
selected MIC/LINE input, the level of the signal(s) on the other inputs will return to the
previous set levels.
The DUCKER is useful to speak over background music:

Engaging the DUCKER
To engage the ducker:

The table below describes the DUCKER operation logic. The DUCKER setting is the detection
threshold selected on INPUT 1 and/or INPUT 2. The ducked channels are the input signals
that are reduced by 12 dB.
DUCKER SETTING
2022-10 | 02 | F.01U.401.530
TREBLE control - provides cymbals and vocals with more treble for a more transparent
sound.
MID control - provides higher output and reduces acoustical feedback by lowering the
level.
BASS control - adds more "punch" to the sound of a kick drum or adds "body" to the
vocals.
Set the controls to minimum.
Increase the level individually and gradually until the required sound is achieved.
When signal is detected on the selected MIC input, the music on the other input channel
will be reduced.
When signal is no longer detected on the selected MIC input, the music will return to the
previous level.
Select INPUT 1 and/or INPUT 2.
Adjust the DUCKER level to set the detection threshold for the selected input channel.
When signal is detected on the selected input, the signal on the other inputs will be
reduced by 12 dB. Typical values are -10 to -20 dB.
