    FX units will have their own output level control. Those that don’t, like CD-players, all have an output level within the scope of the Gig 14. When the channel and master fader are set to unity gain the meters should read between –4 dB and +7 dB.

    DAP Audio, this be can done when typical signals are run through the Gig 14 and the Aux Sends are set to center (0dB). If your effects unit does not have an input gain and the effects levels seems too low, remember that every channel Aux Send has up to 15 dB gain, which should be more than enough to drive any effects unit.

    Set Up Set Up example Experience tells us that the cables in a studio environment get tangled very quickly. A patch field will facilitate patching and repatching considerably. 1. Desk Normalization All board settings should be set to the normal default condition before or after every session. Usually volumes are set to zero (minus infinity), EQ’s set flat and Aux Sends turned fully counter-clockwise, etc.
  • Page 13 signals should not exceed 0 dB. 4) For Stereo Channels and other stereo line inputs, use the output volume of the source instrument effect gain adjustment, until transient peaks are regularly hitting + 6db. Continuous signals should not exceed 0 dB. 5) Altering EQ will affect a channel’s gain.

    Connection Cables Take care of the connector cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability, which is always to your advantage. Periodically check that your cables are in good condition, that they are correctly wired and that all their contacts are perfectly efficient: a great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
