audio that is out of phase with the other microphones. When this happens, there
exists the possibility that the two microphones will cancel out each others signals
when in close proximity to each other. This is simple to correct by reversing the
phase of the offending microphone.
These Phase reversing switches are
labeled as "180" on the panel of the mixer. "180" refers to the audio signal being
180 degrees out of phase.
Channel Assignment Switches:
The Solice mixer brings channel assignment (signal routing) to a new level.
Each input channel of the Solice mixer offers many channel assignment
possibilities. Having a full understanding of these routing possibilities will
allow you to meet the needs of virtually all your mixing requirements and
those of your director and producers too!
Basically, all eight of the audio
assignment switches have three functions.
Just remember these three
functions:
Left = Pre-Fader Audio
Center = Off
Right = Post-Fader Audio
The Various Assignments Include:
Direct Line Output:
Each input channel on the Solice mixer is equipped with a dedicated direct line
output.
This output can be used to feed multi-track recorders when recording
separate tracks for each actor.
The direct line output is located on the rear of
the mixer just above each input XLR connector. These line outputs offer a
balanced audio signal on a standard ¼ TRS connector. Tip is audio High, Ring
is audio Low and the Sleeve is ground. These outputs use the same high quality
electronics as do the main XLR outputs. Because of this, they offer the same low
noise, high headroom characteristics as the main outputs.
There are several
controls and options when using these outputs. There is a 3 way toggle switch
that is labeled "LINE OUT" This switch selects between Pre-Fader audio when
switched to the left,
No Audio when switched to the center position and Post-
Fader audio when it is switched to the right. Having these three choices for each
of the channel outputs offers you, the mixer a great deal of flexibility. In addition,
there is a rotary level control that is also labeled "LINE OUT". This control
allows the user to set the line output level anywhere from full output (fully clock-
wise rotation) to no output (fully counter clock-wise rotation) or anywhere in
between for added flexibility.
Channel 1&2:
Signals routed to main outputs 1 and 2 are handled somewhat differently than
those routed to the remaining main outputs 3 through 8.
Signals routed to
channel 1 and 2 are also selected as Pre-Fader, Off or Post-Fader just like the
