In line with the company's policy of continual improvement, specifications and function may be subject to change without notice. This document was correct at the time of writing. [. . . ] This is particularly useful if you require extra inputs. For example, you can use the stereo line input for a reverb return routed directly to the masters, while still normally using the stereo mic inputs through the channel. Note: The all stereo line to masters MUTE switch (see "Master outputs (mono and stereo)" on page 66) is a global mute for any stereo line inputs routed directly to masters. 2 VeniceF Operator Manual 48 EQ Chapter 6: Dual Stereo Input Channel Each dual stereo input channel of the VeniceF has a four-band, fixed EQ (treble and bass shelving EQ and hi and lo mid EQ stages), allowing tonal control over the input signal. 1 2 3 4 5 EQ section of the dual stereo input channels Item 1 2 3 4 5 Description Treble control knob The treble shelving EQ gain is continuously variable from -15dB to +15dB, with the shelf frequency set to 12kHz. Hi mid control knob The hi mid gain is continuously variable from -15dB to +15dB around 3kHz. Lo mid control knob The lo mid gain is continuously variable from -15dB to +15dB around 300Hz. Bass control knob The bass shelving EQ gain is continuously variable from -15dB to +15dB, with the shelf frequency set to 75Hz. EQ switch and red LED The EQ switch enables the EQ. With EQ disabled, adjustment of the EQ controls has no effect. This can be used to compare the sound with and without EQ. The eq LED illuminates to show that EQ is enabled. VeniceF Operator Manual Monitors 49 Monitors The monitor sends of the dual stereo input channels have similar functionality to those of the mono input channels. For more information, see "Monitors" on page 37. Note: Stereo left and right channel signals are summed into a mono signal to be routed to the monitor buses by the channel monitor sends. Monitor section of the dual stereo input channels Auxes The aux sends of the dual stereo input channels have similar functionality to those of the mono input channels. For more information, see "Auxes" on page 38. Note: Stereo left and right channel signals are summed into a mono signal to be routed to the aux buses by the channel aux sends. Aux sections of the dual stereo input channels VeniceF Operator Manual 50 Pan, routing, mute and solo Chapter 6: Dual Stereo Input Channel The VeniceF is a flexible mixing console with four group buses plus stereo and mono. 1 7 2 3 6 4 5 Group and solo sections of the dual stereo input channels Item 1 2 3 Description Group switches Each of these four group switches routes its channel signal to its associated group bus (see "Group sends" on page 51). stereo switch Routes the channel signals to the stereo master buses (post-EQ, post-pan, post-mute and post-fader). bal control knob This balance control allows continuous reciprocal adjustment of the channel's stereo image. It allows the user to determine the relative output power to each left and right output. At all points this control retains constant power. MUTE switch and red LED The MUTE switch mutes the channel signal. The signal will still be sent to the FireWire output. The mute LED illuminates to show when the MUTE switch is on. SOLO switch and yellow LED With solo enabled, the channel signal is sent to the after-fade listen (AFL) stereo and pre-fade listen (PFL) mono buses. [. . . ] The currents within a ground loop will generate small voltages in the cables, including the signal grounds. Any voltages that develop in the signal grounds will appear as noise errors in the audio. If the impedance of the screen cables is reduced, the voltage developed by the ground loop will also be reduced. So, if the impedance can be zero there will be no noise. [. . . ]
