MMC User Manual - AMS Neve

System Menu
Preferences
When setting ADCs and DACs the important parameters are firstly, the scaling of the conversion and secondly,
the maximum analogue signal level (or clip level) which the converters are capable of producing or accepting
before clipping.
Setting the analogue clip level on AMS/Neve converters as described, will simultaneously scale the convertor so
that the clip level corresponds to full digital modulation (therefore optimising performance).
For 16-bit converters, the clip level may be set between +16 and +24dBu, and for 20-bit between +16 and
+26dBu in 2dB steps.
Overload Settings
This sets the overload level to trigger overload indication and what overload detection is active.
Solo Settings and Relay Control Preferences
The Solo Settings & Relay Control page is used to select the Solo mode and how the (optional) relays are
operated.
Solo Mode
The Solo Mode determines the signal behaviour when the SOLO key is pressed.
To set the Solo Mode click the AFL, Solo In Place or Track Presend radio button as required.
AFL
When AFL is selected, the SOLO signal will be routed to the AFL bus (LISTEN1). The signal to the control room
monitors will be replaced with the AFL signal. All signals will still be routed through the console but will not be
audible.
Solo In Place
When Solo In Place is selected, operating a SOLO key will cause all the other paths to be cut, leaving only the
SOLOd path to be monitored. This makes Solo In Place a destructive operation.
Track Presend
Track Presend is the same as Solo In Place, except that the Track auxiliary pre-sends are not cut.
Fader Start Relays
This determines whether or not the optional Relay Control Unit recognises faders being cut.
