Mix Ext Input

You can assign a source as an external input to the mix, for example for bus summing, combining console outputs, or an external communications or test source.

The Ext Input sums with the GLD mix pre-insert and is affected by the master processing and fader.

Source Select – Open the drop-down menu to choose which source to patch to the mix output. Touch Apply to accept or Cancel to leave unchanged.

Source patching options:

• Unassigned
• An AudioRack input (via dSNAKE)
• A GLD rear panel input
• An I/O Port input
• The USB stereo playback
• One of the built-in effects (Rack FX)
• The Signal Generator (as a test source)
• Any Group, Aux, Mains, Matrix mix output *

* Example application: Route Mains L to one mono Matrix and Mains R to another to allow independent control of L and R mix processing.

The Template Show default is no Ext Inputs assigned.

Trim - Provides +/-24dB level control. This only affects the Ext Input. Start with Trim set to 0dB.

Polarity - Toggles normal and reverse (+/- balanced input pins swapped). This only affects the Ext Input to the mix, not the mix.

Note  You can toggle the Polarity of the mix output using the Polarity button associated with its output socket in the I/O screen.

Socket Preamp – If the patched source is a Mic/Line XLR input then its Preamp controls are shown. These provide remote control of the input preamp circuit located at the socket.
