The Venice Mono Channel is
equipped with an XLR input,
which can be used for M ic or
L i n e l e v e l s i g n a l s u p t o
+22dBu. An additional ¼ inch
jack socket, provides an input
for line level signals, which re-
quire protection against acci-
dental 48 volt connection. The
Line input gives 20dB of per-
manent attenuation to the input
signal which will allow the con-
nection of extreme high line-
level signals up to +42dBu.
The HI PASS switch connects
the the 80Hz hi-pass-filter in the
input channel signal path before
the insert point and equaliser.
The HI MID control gives conti-
nuous adjustment of boost and
cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with
a 0dB centre detent.
The LO MID control gives con-
tinuous adjustment of boost and
cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with
a 0dB centre detent.
The BASS control gives conti-
nuous adjustment of boost and
cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with
a 0dB centre detent. The bass
equaliser acts on 80Hz with a tra-
ditional M I D A S s h e l v i n g r e-
sponse.
The +48V led monitors if phan-
t o m p o w e r i s a s s i g n e d . T h e
+48V switch for each channel is
placed on the rear-panel of the
console. It connects +48V phan-
tom power to the XLR input con-
nector. This is suitable for a
c o n d e n s e r m i c r o p h o n e o r D I
box.
The GAIN control gives conti-
nuous adjustment of the input
amplifier gain from 0dB to
+60dB for the M ic input and
- 20dB to + 40dB for the Line
input.
The TREBLE control gives con-
tinuous adjustment of boost and
cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a
0dB centre detent. The treble
equaliser acts on 12kHz with a
traditional M IDAS shelving re-
sponse.
The HI M ID FREQ control gives
continuous adjustment of the fre-
quency range that the hi mid
equaliser acts on from 400Hz to
8kHz with a 1 octave bandwith.
The LO MID FREQ control gi-
ves continuous adjustment of the
frequency range that the lo m id
equaliser acts on from 100Hz to
2kHz with a 1 octave bandwith.
