Mic/Di Input Controls - DigiDesign 003 Family Setup Manual

003 Shortcuts
Modifier switches provide shortcuts for 003
functions that can be accomplished without us-
ing your computer's keyboard or mouse.
For a list of 003 shortcuts, see "003 Top
Panel Shortcuts" on page 111.
Pro Tools Shortcuts
For increased operational speed, there are many
Pro Tools keyboard and Right-click shortcuts to
give you fast access to a wide variety of tasks.
These shortcuts in Pro Tools use modifier keys,
(such as the Shift key) which are pressed in com-
bination with other keys or with a mouse ac-
tion.
003 Modifier switches mirror the functions of
modifier keys on the computer keyboard. For ex-
ample, 003's Shift (Add) switch is equivalent to
your keyboard's Shift key.

and Right-click shortcuts, refer to the Short-
cuts Guide for your computer platform.

Mic/DI Input Controls

There are four high-quality preamplifiers with
adjustable gain and phantom power (switchable
in pairs, for Inputs 1–2 and Inputs 3–4). The
phantom power switches are on the back panel.
Inputs 1–4 show up as "Analog 1–4" in the de-
fault Pro Tools I/O Setup.
Mic/DI Input controls for Inputs 1–4
Inputs 1–4 have the following controls:
Input 1–4 Gain Controls Each knob adjusts gain
003-to-QWERTY

of gain.

(75 Hz, 12 dB/octave rolloff) on the correspond-
ing input, for filtering out rumble or AC hum.
The HPF LEDs are lit when the switch is enabled.
