Gain Compensation; Compensated Ports - Solid State Logic SB i16 User Manual

Gain Compensation

Each stagebox mic/line input has two transmit channels that can be subscribed to from the Dante
network. Main channels follow the mic gain as set by the controller. Compensated channels nullify
mic gain changes by applying a digital trim offset which is the opposite of any analogue gain
changes. Using Compensated channels ensures that devices receiving signals from the same
stagebox avoid undesired changes to input source levels.

Compensated Ports

When connected to an SSL console or the Network I/O Controller app the main and compensated
channels show as two separate devices.

Compensated inputs cannot be
owned or have any functions
changed.
The compensated output's level is controlled in the stagebox itself, so any Dante device can receive
the compensated signal, it does not have to be an SSL console.
If networks A and B are linked then the compensated channels can be found as separate devices in
Dante Controller, under the Transmit tab of the Routing Matrix or Device View.
If networks A and B are unlinked then either the main or compensated ports will be shown,
dependant on which is connected.
