Settings - RME Audio Fireface UFX User Manual

27.3.1 Settings

A click on the tool symbol opens the channel's Settings panel with differing elements. For ex-
ample the option Inst exists only in input channels 9-12, and the ADAT channels do not offer the
phantom power option.
Stereo. Switches the channel to mono or stereo mode.
48V. Activates phantom power at the corresponding input. Serves as
power supply for high quality condenser mics. This option should stay
off with other sources to prevent failure by spikes.
Inst. Switches inputs 9 to 12 individually from XLR to the TRS jack.
Gain. Sets the gain for the four front inputs. The knob can be adjusted
by dragging the mouse or by the mouse wheel. This also works when
the mouse has been moved over the two gain displays. Then the gain
can be changed separately for left and right channel, even when the
channel is in stereo mode.
Level. Sets the reference level individually for the 8 rear Line inputs.
The available settings are -10 dBV, +4 dBu and LoGain.
AutoSet. Activates an automatic gain reduction preventing overloads
caused by too high gain settings. See chapter 21.2 for details.
Width. Defines the stereo width. 1.00 equals full stereo, 0.00 mono, -1.00 swapped channels.
FX Send. Setting the level of the signal sent to the FX bus which feeds Echo and Reverb. The
current setting is also visible with closed channel settings, because knob and small fader are
always synchronized. To make this function as useful as possible FX Send is locked to the
highest submix, thus imitating the Aux Post Fader function of a standard mixing desk. When
moving the big fader both knob and small fader will also move. This way the reverb signal will
always have the same relation to the dry signal.
The level of the signal sent to the effects can be controlled by the FX In level meters of the FX
window. It becomes visible after a click on FX in the View Options.
MS Proc. Activates M/S processing within the stereo channel. Monaural information is sent to
the left channel, stereo information to the right.
Phase L. Inverts the phase of the left channel by 180°.
Phase R. Inverts the phase of the right channel by 180°.
Note: the functions Width, MS Proc, Phase L and Phase R affect all routings of the respective
channel.
