Getting Strarted; Channel Setup - Phonic HELIX BOARD 12 FIREWIRE MKII Manual Del Usuario

GETTING STARTED
1. Ensure all power is turned off on your mixer. To
totally ensure this, the power adapter should not
be connected to the unit.
2. All faders and level controls should be set at the
lowest level and all channels muted to ensure no
sound is inadvertently sent through the outputs
when the device is switched on. All levels can be
altered to acceptable degrees after the device is
turned on using the channel setup instructions.
3. Plug any necessary equipment into the device's
various inputs and outputs. This could include
amplifiers and speakers, monitors, signal proces-
sors, recording devices, guitars, keyboards, mi-
crophones, and so on.
4. Plug the supplied power adapter into the power
inlet on the back of the device and then into a
power outlet of a suitable voltage.
5. Turn the power switch on and follow the channel
setup instructions to get the most out of your
equipment.

CHANNEL SETUP

1. To ensure the correct audio level of the input
channel is selected, each of the level input controls
of the Mixer should be turned counterclockwise or
down as far as they will go and the mute buttons
should all be engaged.
2. No input other than the one being set should have
any device plugged in. This will ensure the purest
signal is used when setting channels.
3. Adjust the LEVEL and AUX 1 volume controls
of the channel you are setting to around the 2
o'clock mark. Also set the Main L-R fader to the
0 dB mark.
4. Press the AUX 1 button on the Control Room
Source section down (making sure all others are
released), allowing the level meter to display the
level of the channel being set.
5. Ensure the channel has a signal sent to it similar
to the signal that will be sent when in common
use. For example, if the channel is using a
microphone, then you should speak or sing at the
same level the performer normally would during
a performance; if a guitar is plugged into the
channel, then the guitar should also be strummed
as it normally would be (and so on). This ensures
levels are completely accurate and avoids having
to reset them later.
6. Set the channel's gain so that the Level Meter
indicates the audio level is around 0 dB, ensuring
the level never reaches +5 dB.
7. This channel is now ready to be used; you can
stop making the audio signal.
8. You can now select another channel and repeat
the same process.
