4 - Module operations—Pad and phase(Φ)4–84.7.2 Using the PAN/BAL keyPressing the PAN/BAL key brings up a display screenallowing the viewing and setting of a number of thepan and balance parameters for a number of differentmodules:There are two screens, the first for the input modules1 through 16, and the second for input modules 17through 32. The stereo inputs are visible and theirparameters may be adjusted in both screens.Press the PAN/BAL key repeatedly to cycle betweenthese screens.In the screen shown above, channels 1 and 2 arelinked into a stereo pair.The left switch of each POD acts as a centeringswitch, and the right switch of odd-numbered monomodules allows “ganging” of two mono inputs.The POD for the even-numbered switch of a stereolinked pair is disabled—the odd-numbered pod mustbe used here.Note that the image control is not available from thisscreen—this parameter can be set from theMODULE screen only.4.8 Pad and phase(Φ)The digital pad and phase of the input signal may beadjusted from the MODULE screen, as well asthrough a dedicated screen, allowing the viewing andadjustment of the parameters for many modules.4.8.1 Using the MODULE screenIn the EQ/AUX screen, the knob of the fourth PODof the fourth row is used to adjust the digital pad. Thepad values are from 0 dB to –36 dB in 0.5 dB steps.4.8.2 Using the PAD/phase keyThere are two screens available for control of theinput modules’ digital pads and phase settings. Thefirst screen controls channels 1 through 16, and thesecond controls channels 17 through 32. Both controlthe two stereo inputs and the stereo output.These settings are made using the POD knobs to con-trol the digital pads, and the POD left switches tocontrol the input channel phase.The possible pad parameter values are the same asfor the MODULE screen.The two stereo inputs, and any channels that havebeen linked into a stereo pair, can have the phase setindependently for each channel of the pair, allowingcompensation for mis-wired microphone pairs, etc.The phase of the stereo outputs cannot be changed,though a pad is available for the stereo output.NOTEThis digital pad is not related to the analogpad which forms part of the analog input cir-cuitry of channels 1 through 8.
