Chapter 30: Inputs; Input Channel Routing - Midas PRO SERIES Owner's Manual

Chapter 30: Inputs

By default, all of the input channels are mono, although any two adjacent channels can
be linked to form a stereo pair. The order of processing in the signal path of both
channel types is basically the same.
The order of the descriptive sections in this chapter loosely follow the physical layout of
the input fast strips (top to bottom), which is also approximately the signal path taken
by the input channels. However, this varies according to signal processing order and
the operation of certain controls.
Although the input fast strips in the 12- and 4-channel inputs bays are identical in
appearance, their function may vary, depending on the operating mode. Therefore,
this chapter will concentrate on the fast strips in the 12-channel input bay and its
associated channel strip in the mix bay, although any differences between the two input
bays will be highlighted and explained.

Input channel routing

The diagram right shows the default
signal path, on which the structure of
this chapter is based. This chapter will
explain each of these groups of
controls, showing the pertinent controls
on both the control surface and GUI.
