Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. [. . . ] Turn it down a little to reduce sibilance or to mask tape hiss. +15 +10 +5 ­5 ­10 ­15 20Hz 100Hz 1kHz 34. LOW EQ The low EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost or cut below 80Hz. Thecircuitisflatat 0 the center detent position. This frequency represents the punch in bass drums, bass guitar, fat synth patches, and some really serious male singers who eat raw beef for breakfast. +15 +10 +5 ­5 ­10 ­15 20Hz 100Hz 1kHz 10kHz 20kHz 10kHz 20kHz 30. HIGH-MID EQ FREQUENCY This knob ranges from 400 Hz to 8 kHz. This determines the center frequency for the EQ filter, and allows you to zero in on the precise narrow band of frequencies you want to have affected by the high mid EQ [31]. 35. AUX SENDS 1-6 These controls allow you to set up to six independent mixes, typically for running stage monitors or external effects processors. The controls are off when turned fully down, deliver unity gain at the center, and can provide up to 15 dB ofgainturnedfullyup. Chancesarethatyouwillnever need this extra gain, but it's nice to know that it's there if you do. 16 Onyx 1640i Aux Sends 1-6 [19] are line-level outputs, and are used if you want to connect external processors, powered stage monitors, or external power amps with passive stage monitors. Aux Returns 1-4 [18] are line-level inputs, typically used to return the output from external processors back to the main mix. Carefullyadjusthowmuchofeachchannelappears in your aux mixes. For example, if you are running stage monitors, and someone wants "more me, and less them, " adjust these carefully. The aux sends can either be pre or post fader, depending on the position of the aux pre/post switches [56]. For stage monitor work, use pre, so the stage monitors do not increase in volume when the channel level is adjusted. In this way, the feed to external processors will vary with the channel level, keeping them in the same ratio (wet/dry). 38. CHANNEL FADER This is the last control in a channel's signal path, and it adjusts the level of each channel onto the main mix. The "U" mark indicates unity gain, meaning no increase or decrease of signal level. All the way up provides an additional 10 dB, should you need to boost a section of a song. If you find that the overall level is too quiet or too loud with the level near unity, check that the gain control [26] is set correctly. 39. -20, 0, +10 and OL LEDS These LEDs indicate the channel's signal level after the gain and EQ controls, but just before the channel's level. So even if the level is turned down, you can see if a signal is present, or if the channel is being overloaded. The OL (overload) LED will come on when the channel's input signal is too high. This should be avoided, as distortion will occur. If the OL LED comes on regularly, check that the gain control [26] is set correctly for your input device, and that the channel EQ is not set with too much boost. [. . . ] You can also choose it as your default input or output, as well as designate it to be used for system sound output. There are 16 channels of audio input from the Onyx 1640i, and 2 channels of audio output to the Onyx 1640i. 4. ClicktheAudioDevicestab, andselect Onyx i in the "Properties For" drop-down box. 6. The Sample Rate is also shown from 44. 1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88. 2 kHz and 96 kHz. 7. [. . . ]
