Module setup
The fourth channel module screen is called the
SETUP
screen and allows the setting of general parameters
affecting the use of the module. Note the block dia-
gram at the top of this screen, showing the current
configuration of the channel module, along with the
enabled/disabled status of the components (dynamics
processors, EQ, etc.). As changes are made to the set-
ting, this block diagram is updated to reflect the cur-
rent status of the module:

INPUT/RETURN selection
On channels 1
through 32, as explained earlier, two different inputs
may be selected, which may be switched or “flipped”
globally in blocks of eight (“Flipping the channels”
on page 48) or may be changed on this screen using

AUX 1-2 SOURCE
It is suggested that the aux 1
and 2 sends are used as studio foldback (cue) sends.
The fourth POD control on the first row of this screen
allows you to choose pre-fader or post-fader inputs or
the return channel to be used as the feed to aux 1-2
(this is independent of the input return selection).

Phase control
Use the POD 1 encoder of row 3 to
reverse the input phase of the channel module. If two
channels are linked, then a phase control for each
channel will be shown (POD 1 and POD 2). Also, see
“Phase/trim/delay” on page 71 below.

Module delay
A delay can be applied to channels
on an individual basis, to compensate for the latency
of other equipment, the acoustic delays caused by
microphone placement, etc. The delay time can be
expressed in milliseconds or in samples.
