Digital Mixer - TerraTec EWS88 MT Manual

Here you can adjust the levels at which the incoming signal will be recorded into the EWS88. –
10 dBV is very common in home-studios (the signal-levels are comparatively low, which is
compensated for with the higher input sensitivity). +4 dBu is generally a professional setting
(Instruments are powerful enough, hence the input sensitivity is acceptable). If you find that
one of your instruments does not deliver a high enough level, you can increase the sensitivity
in 0.5dB increments in the ControlPanel. Make sure that the Clip LED does not light up – when
this happens, the input is subject to an overload, which can lead to distortion in the signal. The
"Clipping" box to the right allows you to set the LED's sensitivity (-3 dB is usually a good
choice. If the LED starts to blink during the recording, it should indicate a well balanced input-
level). This is not all: The "Auto Gain" function lets you set the input levels automatically. You
can set this auto gain to different scanning times (scan 3/5/10 sec), during which the software
analyses the incoming signal and sets the appropriate gain-level (during this time, the signal
ought to be constant). You can activate this function simply by pressing the "Auto"-button
below the channel-strip (if you have two channels grouped to a single stereo channel , the
auto gain will be activated on both channels automatically).

20 channels (10 WavePlay-and 10 input signals) and routes these to output 1/2 or to the co-
axial digital output.
