3 Layout

3.1 Front Panel

The front panel of the ADA-8 contains four divided panels, from left to right:
The Monitor Panel controls and displays all parameters of the two-channel Monitor.
The Mimic Panel controls and displays all parameters of the routing and processing of the two
eight-channel audio Paths through the ADA-8.
The Meter Panel contains eight LED bargraphs which can be switched to meter either of the
two eight-channel Paths, as well as a row of Channel Select buttons, which are used to apply
controls to one or more selected channels, or to all eight channels using the 'All' button.
On the right-hand side is the Menu Panel, which contains the LCD display and navigation
keys for the menu system, through which all parametric adjustments are made. Blue Access
buttons, distributed over the other three panels, provide short-cuts into those parts of the
menu system related to their positions. Below the menu controls are the buttons for the
Configuration / Store system, which allows factory and user-defined setups to be instantly
loaded.
At the extreme left-hand side of the front panel are the 'Standby' key (which is used to switch
the ADA-8 in and out of Standby power mode) and, below, a headphone socket for the two-
channel Monitor.
