Page 13: Gain Structure
In order to maintain the highest level of S/N in the mixer, the audio signals are never brought through the front panel controls of the Intelix mixer. Instead, each front panel pot controls a Voltage Controlled Attenuator (VCA), which controls the associated amplification stage. The channel VCAs do not control an amplifier, but are attenuation only devices which determine the amount of each channel’s contribution to the summing bus. -
