Input Pod

The input pod is the entry point for the channel's Mic/Line and DAW signals.

ASP4816-HE input pod controls and channel meters

Inputs and normal signal paths​

The channel provides:

  • Microphone input
  • Line input, selected in place of the microphone input
  • DAW input

By default the Mic/Line source feeds the SF path and the DAW input feeds the LF path. FLIP reverses the two assignments.

Input controls​

  1. 20-segment meter — normally displays the DAW input.
  2. 3-segment meter — normally displays the Mic/Line input.
  3. DAW INSERT IN — switches the DAW insert return into circuit.
  4. DAW TRIM — ±15 dB adjustment.
  5. MIC/LINE — press to select the Line input instead of Mic.
  6. MTR — swaps the DAW and Mic/Line meter assignments.
  7. Mic/Line INSERT IN — switches the Mic/Line insert return into circuit.
  8. Mic/Line GAIN.
  9. Ø polarity reverse.
  10. 48V phantom power.
  11. High-pass filter.

Gain ranges​

  • Mic input gain: +6 dB to +60 dB
  • Line input gain: -14 dB to +40 dB
  • DAW input trim: ±15 dB
caution

Turn down or mute loudspeaker and headphone monitoring before switching phantom power on or off. Switching 48 V can produce a loud transient.

The high-pass filter can be used to reduce unwanted low-frequency content such as rumble. The polarity switch reverses signal polarity where required for multi-microphone or source alignment.
