4. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

This section outlines the basic operation of the Mackie SR24.4 VLZ Pro mixer.

4.1 Channel Strip Overview

Each input channel features controls for gain, equalization, auxiliary sends, pan, mute, solo, and level fader.

  • Ручка GAIN: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the microphone or line input. Set this to achieve a healthy signal level without clipping (indicated by the PEAK LED).
  • Раздзел эквалайзера: Typically includes High, Mid (with sweepable frequency), and Low frequency controls to shape the tone of the input signal.
  • AUX SEND Knobs: Control the amount of signal sent from the channel to the auxiliary outputs, used for monitors or effects.
  • Ручка PAN: Размяшчае сігнал канала ў стэрэапалоне (злева направа).
  • Кнопка адключэння гуку: Адключае гук выхаднога сігналу канала на асноўны мікс і падгрупы.
  • Кнопка SOLO: Ізалюе сігнал канала для маніторынгу праз навушнікі або выхады дыспетчарскай, не ўплываючы на ​​асноўны мікс.
  • Фэйдэр каналаў: Adjusts the overall level of the channel's signal sent to the main mix and subgroups.

4.2 Main Mix and Subgroups

The main mix combines all active channels into a stereo output. Subgroups allow for routing multiple channels to a single fader for easier control.

  • Фейдэр MAIN MIX: Controls the overall output level of the stereo main mix.
  • SUBGROUP Faders: Control the output level of grouped channels. Channels are assigned to subgroups using routing buttons on each channel strip.
  • МЕТРЫ: Provide visual feedback of signal levels for the main mix and subgroups. Aim for levels that are strong but do not consistently peak into the red.

4.3 Маніторынг

Use the Control Room and Headphone outputs for monitoring your mix.

  • CONTROL ROOM Level: Adjusts the volume for your studio monitors.
  • Узровень ТЭЛЕФОНАЎ: Adjusts the volume for headphones. Note that on some models, this may share a control with the Control Room output.
