Mic Mixer

The DSP Configurator provides control of the mixer used to mix Mic/Line Inputs and Virtual Return Busses to the Line Outputs and Virtual Return Sends. See section, Mix Matrix Operation for more information.

The default setting for mic mix-points is 0dB (unity gain). All mix-points are muted, except for the following input to output relationships, which are set to unity gain: 1:1; 2:2; 3:3; and 4:4.

Click a mix-point to bring focus. Double-click a mix-point (or focus and press Enter) to open a dialog with the following components:

Mono Fader - set mix levels to the bus. Gain range is −35dB to 25dB. To set the fader position, click + hold fader handle, then drag to desired level in 1.0dB steps. Or, click or tab to fader handle, then up/down arrow to desired level in 1dB steps. Page Up/Page Down increases/decreases level in 5dB steps.

Level setting text field - click in or tab to the level readout field. Type a new value (resolution is in 0.1dB increments), then press Enter, or Tab to another area.

Mute - mute the signal to the bus.

Mic input level status - Level or mute status of the Mic Input Gain block is reported here. This can be used as a reference when setting mix-point levels.

OK/Cancel - click OK to accept changes and close the window, and Cancel to exit and cancel all changes.

Mix-point behavior is as follows:

No mix information - a faint gray ball behind the mix-point indicates that the mix-point contains no mix information (i.e., the mix-point is muted).

Mix information  - a solid blue "ball" indicates that the mix-point contains mix information (i.e., the mix-point is unmuted).

Mouse-over - the cursor changes to a "Hand" when a mouse-over occurs at a mix-point.

Single-click - a single click brings focus, indicated by a green circle around the ball (either gray or blue, depending on mix status).

Double-click - double-click to open the mix-point dialog box.
