- DOBITE: Adjusts the input sensitivity for each channel. Set this to achieve a strong signal without clipping (indicated by the PK LED).
- HIGH/LOW EQ: These knobs control the treble (HIGH) and bass (LOW) frequencies for each channel. Use them to shape the tone of your audio.
- PAN (Mono Channels): Adjusts the position of the mono signal in the stereo field (left to right).
- BAL (Stereo Channel): Balances the left and right signals of the stereo input.
- VOL.: Nadzoruje izhodno glasnost vsakega posameznega kanala v glavni miks.
- +48V fantomsko napajanje: For mono channels, press the +48V button to supply phantom power to condenser microphones connected via XLR. Ensure microphones are compatible before activating.
- IMPED (Impedance Switch): For mono channels, switch between MIC (low impedance) and INST-HI-Z (high impedance) for optimal input matching.
Kontrolniki glavnega odseka
- GLAVNI OUT: Controls the overall volume of the main stereo output.
- TELEFONI: Prilagodi glasnost izhoda za slušalke.
- USB/2TK Input: This section allows routing of the digital audio input from the USB connection. The input can be routed to the main output or to the headphones for monitoring.
- MERILNIK NIVOJA: The LED meter displays the output level of the main mix. Aim for levels that are strong but do not consistently peak into the red.
Vzdrževanje
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity of your Citronic U-PAD mixer:
- Čiščenje: Disconnect the power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the mixer. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents.
