To unbalance, tie pin-3 to pin-1 of the XLR connector. There is no change in gain between unbalanced and balanced connections into the Page Phantom Power Make certain to disable phantom power with Line-level output devices that are susceptible to damage from DC.
Many phantom powered microphones do not require 48 V and can be properly powered with 12 V. Trim level is adjustable from 22 to 72 dB of gain. These are inputs 1,2 and inputs 3,4. Page Xlr Direct Outputs. The nominal output level is selectable in the Setup Menu as Mic, , or Line level. See Setup Menu. Tape Outputs Tape Outputs are typically used to interface with consumer devices such as MiniDisc and compact transcription recorders. The includes two unbalanced tape level outputs, a TA3 connector and These two connectors are resistively in parallel and are isolated from the balanced outputs.
Tape Outputs, by default, send the Left and Right stereo program. Page Limiters When the Limiters are engaged, it is nearly impossible to clip overload the mixer. This enables both the input and output limiters and determines the behavior of the output limiter. Sound Devices recom- mends that the limiters be active at all times. Sound Devices recommends bit record- ing for all critical production.
The LED will be off when media is attached and ready. When the is actively recording the LED illuminates solid red. Time Code Mode is off at factory default. Playback audio is sent to the headphone monitor. If neither button is pressed in five seconds, formatting is canceled. The card will appear as a mass storage device and its contents can be copied to another storage device. It is protected by a rubber cover. Gently pry the protective rubber cover from left to right to expose the SD Slot.
Insert the SD card into the slot. Push the card so that it seats securely in the slot. To remove, push the card in to eject it then pull it out of the slot. Press and hold the Battery Check button to hear remaining card space available on the inserted SD card. Folder Structure The automatically generates a new Daily Folder when a recording is started. A daily folder generated on October 15, would be named 09Y10M Example: SD.
TXT file is used for internal house keeping purposes only. SUP file is created when User Settings are saved. The User Settings can be recalled. See User and Factory Settings for details. Daily Folders are generated when a recording is started. They contain all files recorded on a given day. Sound files recorded by the The file number increments with each new recording. For Example, the first file recorded on October 15, will be named 09Y10M WAV the next file recorded is named 09Y10M WAV and so on.
The file number is reset to when a new daily folder is generated. While in stand-by mode, press in on the Recorder Controller to hear the next file number to be recorded. The Take Counter file number can be reset to at anytime. If the Take Counter is reset in the middle of the day and there are still files residing in the daily folder, it is possible to get duplicate file names.
The automatically detects if the folder has a file of the same name and will add an A after the take number 09Y10MA. WAV to prevent accidental overwriting of the original file.
Automatic File Splitting While it is possible to have thousands of files on the SD card, the largest any single file may be is 2 GB. The automatically splits an audio file before the 2 GB size is reached and begins writing to a new file.
When joined in an editing program, these files are sample-continuous, with no samples lost. If recording, begins recording a new file. When Record Pause is on, press once to pause the recording, press again to stop. When Record Pause is off, press once to stop. During Playback, press once to pause, press again to stop. Push the Recorder Controller Down Begins playback of the last take recorded or file currently loaded.
Playback is sent the headphone monitor only. While in playback, push and hold left to rewind. While in playback, push and hold right to fast forward. When no media is present or detected the LED flashes yellow. The LED will be off when media is attached and ready. When the is actively recording the LED illuminates solid red.
When recording is paused or in the event that a record command is given and the media is not ready, the LED flashes red until the recorder actively starts recording.
A solid yellow LED indicates the media is busy. The LED illuminates solid green while in playback mode and flashes green when playback is paused. The start of a recording is indicated audibly in headphones by a single, Hz tone. See Record Pause for details.
When recording is stopped, two Hz tones are heard in headphones. The Setup Menu is locked out while recording. The can be set to automatically start and stop recordings according to the incoming time code signal.
See Time Code for details. If the internal batteries drop to extremely low voltage levels while recording, the recorder will automatically close the file that it is recording to prevent it from being lost.
The recorder is locked out until the power source is switched to external or the is powered down and batteries are changed. Record Pause When Record Pause is enabled in the Setup Menu, the recordings can be stopped then continued without creating a new file.
Record Pause is useful for reporter interviews or any application that can benefit by stopping and starting recording without generating a new file. To use the Record Pause feature: 1. Navigate among the available options. Select On Pause the recording at any time by pressing the STOP key once. Press the STOP key twice to finalize the recording. At this point, the file is available for Playback and the next press of the REC key begins recording the next incremented take.
Please note that the Record Pause behavior will vary depending on the set Time Code mode. This prevents the event of offsets in time code. This allows linear time code to be recorded to one of the audio tracks.
When time code becomes stationary, the stops and closes the file. If the recording is manually stopped by pressing the stop button the recording is paused. If time code is stopped then started again the recording continues recording.
Press Stop twice at anytime to stop and close the file. Time Code Time Code Mode is set to off at factory default. MP3 files will have the start time.
When time Code Mode is set to something other than off and valid time code is present at the RTN B TA3 connector, time code values and frame rates are written to the file at the moment the recording begins. This allows the Sound Mixer to sync the audio recorded by the with the master source. Incoming Time Code signals must be running prior to pressing record to ensure proper frame rate and time stamps.
Time Code stamping is only performed at the moment record is pressed. If the time code source is not running at the moment record is pressed, the stamps the file according to the stationary time code that it is receiving. When the sampling rate is set to The prevents sending time code signals written to track to the outputs and the headphone monitor. Time Code recorded to Track is muted while playing back the file from the External Time Code Auto Record The can be set to automatically start and stop recordings according to the incoming time code signal when anyone of the Auto Record modes is selected in the Time Code Setup Menu.
The enters record as the external time code advances, and the recording is stopped when the external code is stationary. This is appropriate when dual-system sound is used with video cameras set for Rec Run time code. Playback After a file has been recorded, the can play back the file. The last file recorded is always the file that is immediately available for playback. Playback audio is sent to the headphone monitor.
The Headphone Selector position determines the monitoring behavior. The LED meter display indicates headphone monitor activity. To navigate among files for playback, press the rewind and fast forward keys while playback is stopped.
As a file or folder is loaded a short beep is sent to the headphone monitor followed by the file number or day of the folder. To playback a file, push the Record Controller down toward the Play position. To pause playback, press the Record Controller. To Stop playback, press the Record Controller twice. To Rewind or Fast Forward through a file, press and hold the Record Controller to the left or right respectively while the file is playing back.
By default playback audio is only sent to the headphone monitor. After the file is stopped the outputs will return to normal program. Metering The features two large segment LED output meters. The output meters are unaffected by shock, temperature, or humidity extremes. The microcontroller-based meters provides a selection of ballistics and lighting intensities.
Meter ballistics are set in the Setup Menu. See the Setup Menu. VU VU volume units meter ballistics correspond closely to how the human ear perceives loudness.
This provides a good visual indication of how loud a signal will be. In VU mode, the attack and decay of the meter signal is mS. VU meters provide great visual indications of how loud a signal will be. However, VU meters provide poor information of actual signal peaks. In VU mode, the front panel meter labeling is in volume units. Peak meters have an instantaneous attack and a slow decay to allow the user to visually monitor peak activity.
Peak metering is useful when interconnecting to audio inputs on digital equipment. In the digital realm, signal overload can cause immediate distortion. Peak Hold indicators are useful for metering in applications when an overload condition is unacceptable. In this mode the perceived loudness VU is displayed on a bar graph, and the Peak signal on a dot above the VU.
With this combi-. The meter simultaneously displays the Peak and VU information while holding peak values for two seconds. Each LED represents a 1 dB change. The LED illuminate in various colors and intensities to represent the signal level appearing at its respective input.
Reduce the trim level control if the LEDs continuously illuminate yellow or red. Monitoring without a visual indication of headphone clipping can mislead the sound mixer into thinking that the output or return feeds are distorted.
Headphone output level is controlled using the front panel Headphone Controller. While turning the Headphone Controller, the headphone gain level is temporarily displayed on the Right Output Meter. The can drive headphones to dangerously high volumes. Turn down the headphone gain before selecting a headphone source to prevent accidental signal extremes. The selections available are listed below:.
When recording is stopped two Hz tones are sent to the headphones. Playback Navigation Tones A single Hz tone followed by an announcement of the time the file was created is sent to the headphones when a file is selected for playback using the Record Controller. Slide the PFL switch left to activate, and again to deactivate. The left meter indicates the signal level of the soloed channel. PFL monitoring only affects the headphone monitor, it does not affect audio sent to the outputs.
PFL latching operation only allows for one input to be soloed at a time. To PFL multiple inputs, use momentary operation. The Return monitor switch has two positions, A and B. To latch on the return in the headphone monitor, slide the RTN switch towards the desired return, slide again to turn off. For momentary action, Hold the RTN switch for one second or longer. The LEDs illuminate solid yellow to indicate the respective return is latched on. Return audio can be sent directly to receiving devices using the Tape or Mono Mic outputs.
See Return Loopback for additional information. See Time Code for additional information. RTN A split ear monitoring sends the RTN A summed mono signal to the left headphone monitor and the Right program audio to the right headphone monitor. The respective return becomes the source for the Tape and Mono Mic outputs. Powering The is powered by either internal batteries or external DC sources. The power switch selects the power source, either internal or external.
There is a large enough power reserve to switch back and forth from one source to the other without interrupting mixer operation. The is a power-efficient device and can run from four-AA alkaline batteries for approximately eight hours without phantom.
As additional load is placed on the mixer, battery runtime is reduced. See Power Consumption for details. Internal Battery Powering Internal batteries can be used as either a primary power source or as a back-up in the event that external power is removed or depleted. The uses four AA-sized LR6 batteries of various types. The achieves the longest battery runtime with Lithium and NiMH batteries.
The external DC supply is fully isolated floating from the rest of the mixer for easy and safe interconnection with other external audio gear. Voltage Metering Press and release the Battery Check button to display the voltage levels of the internal batteries and external power sources. The Left meter shows the internal battery voltage level; the right meter shows the external voltage level.
Because many different power sources can be used for external powering, the external DC metering is customizable for different power sources in the Setup Menu. When the Low Voltage point is reached the LED flashes red until the power source is exhausted and unable to power the mixer.
Experimentation is recommended to determine battery life for each individual setup and application. Power Consumption The varies in the amount of current it draws.
Several features of the directly affect current draw in different ways. The following list highlights the larger current drawing functions. Microphone powering - the main source of extra current draw. See Phantom Power. Two phantom powered microphones draw twice as much current as one. Microphones vary widely in their current draw depending on type and phantom voltage applied.
Integrated Audio Recorder - the recorder, whether in record or playback, increases power consumption. Turn Record Mode off in the Setup Menu when not in use to extend battery run times.
Digital Outputs - disable digital outputs in the Setup Menu when they are not needed since they draw additional current. Output drive level - higher output drive levels into multiple, low-impedance inputs increases power consumption. Headphone output circuit - high headphone output levels increase current draw.
Slate Microphone The built-in slate microphone is used to notate scenes from the mixer location. Its audio performance is not suitable for critical recording applications; it should be used for documenting scenes and for communication purposes only.
The slate mic uses the left switch position. Slide the switch to the left to activate, and again to turn off. For momentary action, hold the switch to the left for 1 second or longer.
Program audio is muted while the slate mic is active. The signal is sent to all outputs and the Integrated Digital Audio Recorder. In the Setup Menu a one second, Hz tone can be set to precede the slate microphone. Additionally, the slate mic can be disabled to prevent unintended activation. See Talk Back Mode for more details. Tone Oscillator Tone is used to set gain structure between the and the next device in the signal path.
The tone oscillator uses the right position of the slide switch. Slide right to activate, hold for two seconds to latch on. From the factory, the tone oscillator is set to output a 1 kHz sine wave at 0 dBu to the outputs when the outputs are set to Line Level.
Tone is also sent at the same level to each of the Direct Outputs. Tone level and frequency settings are configured in the Setup Menu. The headphone outputs are attenuated when tone is activated. With Tone activated, press the Battery Check button to cycle the left output by dB.
This is used to verify left and right output signals. Turn off the tone oscillator or press the Battery Check button again to stop the output cycling. When in Talk Back mode, the Slate microphone is not routed to the master outputs, direct outputs, or to the recorder.
In Talk Back mode, the two headphone outputs contain two different audio sources. Its audio source is menu-selected. The audio signals sent to the 3. The slate mic signal is sent to the right headphone output and is mixed with the program selected in the Talk Back Setup Menu Function. Sound Devices specifications. Related product manuals.
