5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Forstærkning Staging

Korrekt gevinst staging is crucial for achieving optimal sound quality and avoiding distortion.

1. Start with all channel GAIN knobs at their minimum (fully counter-clockwise) position.
2. Set the main MIX fader to 0 dB.
3. While the audio source is active (e.g., speaking into a microphone, playing an instrument), slowly increase the GAIN knob for the respective channel.
4. Observe the CLIP LED for that channel. Adjust the GAIN so that the CLIP LED only flashes occasionally on the loudest peaks. This indicates a healthy signal level without clipping.

5.2 Using the Compressors

The Q1002USB features easy-to-use 'one-knob' compressors on the first two channels to smooth out dynamic range.

Figure 5.1: Visual representation of signal compression.

• Turn the COMP knob clockwise to increase the amount of compression.
• The COMP LED will illuminate to indicate that compression is active.
• Adjust the knob to achieve a more consistent and controlled sound, especially for vocals and instruments with wide dynamic swings.

5.3 Adjusting the 3-Band EQ

Each mono channel features a 3-band 'British' EQ for tonal shaping.

Figure 5.2: The 'British' EQ provides warm and musical sound characteristics.

• HØJ: Adjusts the treble frequencies (12 kHz).
• MID: Adjusts the mid-range frequencies (2.5 kHz).
• LAV: Adjusts the bass frequencies (80 Hz).
• The center position (12 o'clock) is flat (no boost or cut). Turn clockwise to boost, counter-clockwise to cut.

5.4 FX Send and Return

The FX send allows you to route signal to an external effects processor.

• Use the FX knob on each channel to send a portion of that channel's signal to the FX SEND output.
• Connect the FX SEND output to the input of your external effects processor.
• Connect the output of your effects processor back to one of the stereo line inputs (e.g., Channels 5/6 or 7/8) on the mixer.
• Adjust the level of the returned effect using the corresponding channel's LEVEL knob.

5.5 Fantomstrøm (+48V)

Fantomstrøm er påkrævet til kondensatormikrofoner.
