Each of these four feeds is equipped with it's own audio source selection switch
and it's own volume control. The "Mixers" feed is routed to a ¼" jack located on
the right side front edge of the Solice mixer. The remaining outs for the Director
and two boom operators are located on the rear panel of the mixer.
The two
Boom operator feeds and the Director feed have an input source selection
labeled as "X". When switched to this position, they are fed the same audio as is
monitored by the Mixer headphone feed. That is to say, they are fed a copy of
whatever the mixer selection switch is set to. Thus everyone can easily and
quickly monitor the same thing. The headphone outputs are rated to operate into
headphones with impedances from 20 to 600 ohms. As with all headphone use,
please monitor your headphone volume carefully and always use the lowest
practical volume setting. Excessive sound pressure levels will cause permanent
hearing loss. Your ears are your livelihood. "Turn it Down"
Headphone Volume
Headphone volume is adjusted by using the four headphone volume pots located
just above the four headphone audio selection switches.
These headphone
volume controls allow a full range of adjustment from fully off (counter clock-wise)
to full on (clock-wise). Please be careful when setting headphone volume levels
as excessive headphone levels can cause permanent hearing damage.
User
determines proper and safe operating levels.
Speaker Output
The Solice Mixer is equipped with a "Speaker" output that is used to feed PA
systems for playback work, on set audio monitoring and other uses.
This feed
provides the same audio as selected by the Mixer's headphone selection switch.
It is basically a copy of the headphone output, but with it's own level control.
iPOD Input
The Ipod input provides another source of audio that can be feed to the
headphone amplifiers and also the Speaker outputs. This input is typically used
for supplying music to the set during down time. It can also be used for an audio
input form Video Village for playback of audio through the Solice mixer.
Peak Reading Meters
The Solice mixer is equipped with eight output meters. Each of these meters is
LED based and read from -36dB to +12dB. They are color coded for ease of
use. All LED's representing audio levels form -36dB up to -3dB are Green in
color. The LED's that represents a "0" level are Yellow in color and all LED's
from +3dB up to +12dB are Red in color.
These meters are peak reading and
have ballistics that are conducive to quality field recordings.
