Mixer Matrix; Gain - Apex Digital CloudPower Series Operation Manual

Settings / Audio / Mixer Matrix
Each of the CloudPower™️ channels has its own mixer matrix, allowing you to create a custom mix of
input signals for every channel. You can access the mixing matrix through the front panel by navigating
to Settings > Audio > Mix Mtx.
The CP716D provides 16 network inputs via Dante™️.
However, only one of the 16 network inputs will be
accessible per channel as illustrated in the figure to
the right.
If any two channels require the same network
input, this configuration must be set up in an audio
network router, such as Dante™️Controller.
Settings / Audio / Gain
The gain setting adjusts the level of amplification for each channel. The default gain setting is 0 dB, but
it can be changed to any value ranging from -80 dB to +15 dB in 1 dB increments.
Please exercise caution, as increasing the gain will result in a higher voltage output from the output
terminals. To access the gain function via the front panel, navigate to Settings > Audio > Gain.
To edit a mixing matrix, select and press => Edit
on the channel you want to adjust.
In the matrix, you can blend the available inputs for the selected channel:
• Analog inputs 1 to 4
• Network inputs 1 to 4, when fitted with a Dante™️card
• Stream L and R for Spotify or Apple AirPlay
• Internal sinewave and pink noise generator
To edit an input value, select the source you wish to edit and press to
control it. Turn the rotary to increase or decrease the value and press again
to confirm.
Select and press the return icon to navigate back in the menu.
Network Network
To edit a gain value, select the channel you wish to edit and press the dB
