Output Channel
Description
The output channel gain in dB is displayed here and can be adjusted from -69dB to +20dB, or set to
"Off". This control may be referred to as the main output gain control. There are two ways to change
the gain:
• Click on the buttons next to the control to run the value up or down
• Type a value directly into the control and press ENTER
The value in the control can be copied and pasted into another channel using CTRL-C to copy,
CTRL-V to paste, and then pressing ENTER .
This is a checkbox control which indicates if the output is muted (checked) or not (unchecked) for an
output channel. Simply click on the control to set as desired.
On certain output channels this control allows a choice between line level or mic (microphone) level
output. If mic level is selected, then the output signal is attenuated 40dB in the analog output
amplifier stage.
changes made by turning the front panel gain knobs so that the total gain for the channel is known.
This is a true RMS level meter which displays the output audio level in dBu as meaured after
application of the main and rear panel output channel gains, but before the signal is processed by
the output filters, compressor/limiter, or mic level attenuator. The range of the meter is -40dBu to
+20dBu.
As always, the changes are not permanent unless the
DM84 settings are stored to a preset in nonvolatile
memory.
