Input Channels

Overview

The different elements on each control strip are shown here:

Channel label

Each input channel has a customizable label displayed at the top of the channel strip. To change the label, click on it and type a new label (up to 12 characters).

Current RMS level, Level meter

Displays the current input signal level in real time, after the per-input volume offset and input channel gain have been applied.

The range of the visual bargraph is -72 dB up to +12 dB.

Info

The Flex Eight must be connected and online to display signal levels.

Channel gain

The gain of each input channel can be set to a value between ‑72 dB and +12 dB. (0 dB, the default, is unity gain or no change in level.) To set the gain, click on the Gain value of that channel. The gain can be entered by moving the slider or it can be entered numerically. The up and down arrows can be used to change the gain in 0.1 dB increments.

PEQ

Click on this button to open the parametric EQ settings window for that input channel. There are ten parametric EQ filters on each input channel.

If there are active parametric EQ filters, the color of the button changes to yellow. This provides an at-a-glance indication of filter status:

For more information, see the page Parametric EQ.

FIR

Click on this button to open the FIR filtering window for that input channel. A total of 4096 taps across all input channels can be computed.

If there are coefficients loaded into the FIR filter, the color of the button changes to yellow. This provides an at-a-glance indication of filter status:

For more information, see the page FIR filtering.

Mute

Press this button to mute that input channel. The button color and label changes to show that the channel is muted:

Info

The input level meter will not display signal if that input channel is muted.
