Obsluha mixéru

1. Channel Controls (Channels 1-4)

• Hi Pass: Aktivuje vysokofrekvenční filtr pro odstranění nežádoucího nízkofrekvenčního dunění.
• Získat: Upravuje vstupní citlivost připojeného mikrofonu nebo nástroje.
• Comp (Compressor): (Channels 1 & 2 only) Controls the amount of compression applied to the input signal, helping to smooth out dynamics and prevent clipping. A red LED indicates when the compressor is active.
• High, Mid-Morph, Low (3-Band EQ): Adjusts the high, mid, and low frequencies of the channel. The Mid-Morph control allows for dynamic adjustment of the mid-frequency range, acting as a low-mid cut or a high-mid boost depending on the setting.
• EQ Bypass: Bypasses the equalizer section for a direct comparison of the EQ'd and un-EQ'd signal.
• Aux: Controls the level of the channel's signal sent to the Aux Send output.
• EFX: Controls the level of the channel's signal sent to the internal digital effects processor.
• Pánev: Upravuje stereo pozici signálu kanálu (zleva doprava).
• Ztlumit: Mutes the channel's audio output.
• Clip/Signal LEDs: The green 'SIGNAL' LED indicates signal presence, while the red 'CLIP' LED warns of signal overload. Adjust gain to prevent clipping.
• Sólo: Isolates the channel's signal for monitoring through headphones or control room outputs without affecting the main mix.
• Úroveň: Adjusts the overall output level of the channel to the main mix.

2. Electric Guitar Pre-Shape (Channel 4)

Channel 4 includes a dedicated 'ELECTRIC GUITAR PRE-SHAPE' switch. Activating this switch optimizes the input impedance for direct connection of an electric guitar, providing a suitable tone without needing an external DI box or ampživější.

3. Fantomové napájení (48 V)

The 'PHANTOM POWER 48V' button activates 48V phantom power for condenser microphones connected to channels 1-4. Ensure condenser microphones are connected before activating phantom power.

4. Media Playback (Channels 7/8)

The media section allows playback from a USB A drive or via Bluetooth. Use the 'MEDIA SELECT' rotary encoder to browse folders and tracks on a USB drive. The Play/Pause and Skip buttons control playback. The 'USB A / Bluetooth' button switches between these two sources.

5. Digitální efekty

The PV 10 AT features a built-in digital effects processor. Use the 'EFX SELECT' rotary encoder to choose from various effects (e.g., reverb, delay). Some effects allow parameter editing (e.g., delay time) by pressing the 'EFX SELECT' knob.

6. Antares Auto-Tune (Channels 1 & 2)

The 'Auto-Tune' button (channels 1 & 2) activates the Antares Auto-Tune feature. Use the 'EFX SELECT' knob to choose the desired key for Auto-Tune, ensuring vocal performances remain in pitch with the music. This feature can be toggled on/off via an optional footswitch connected to the 'FS' jack.

7. Kosmos-C Enhancement

The 'KOSMOS-C' button activates Peavey's proprietary audio enhancement technology. This circuitry processes the low and high frequencies to create a fuller, more defined sound, enhancing the apparent bass and clarity without increasing overall volume.

8. Control Room and Recording

The 'CONTROL ROOM' section allows for flexible monitoring and recording:

• A/B Select: Switches between two sets of control room monitors.
• Level A/B: Adjusts the output level for the selected control room monitors.
• B/REC: When engaged, the 'B' control room output becomes a dedicated record output, allowing you to send the main mix to an external recording device.
• Rec Level: Controls the level of the signal sent to the record output.
• Record Level to Control Room: Adjusts the level of the recorded signal returning from your computer (via USB B) to your control room monitors.

9. Hlavní výstupy

The main mix is controlled by the 'MAIN L+R' faders. The LED meter bridge provides visual feedback of the main output levels. The 'MONO (SUM)' button sums the stereo main output to mono.

10. Výstup pro sluchátka

The 'HEADPHONE SOLO/MAIN' knob adjusts the volume for the headphone output. The 'SOLO/MAIN' button allows you to switch between monitoring the soloed channels or the main mix.
