Re: 32 Band EQ for Main Out (without using L6Link)

support@line6.com — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 19:39:52 GMT

I personally would much prefer parametrics on the outputs vs the 31 band GEQs on my DL1608 (as would any "pro" IMO) but Presonus tried to "sell" that to the lower end users that make up the vast majority of their buyers and it didn't fly for them. They ended up adding GEQ's because that's what the "market" demands. YMMV (or not ).

If your cables and connections aren't perfect phantom will cause crackling which is quite annoying. I did buy a DL1608 but try hard not to use any phantom powered mics or DI's. Dynamic mics work fine as overheads for live sound and passive DI's are usually plenty good IME .

Re: Is it possible to narrow the panning of stereo channels

The ancient Behringer DDX3216 could do both narrowing and reversal - the pan became a wdith control when channels were stereo linked. At noon it was mono and all the way clockwise was reversed.

Other digital mixers handle that by having the stereo channels have a "spread" control instead of a "pan" or "balance". Usually half way is mono, all the way clockwise reverses the left and right.

Re: At line inputs(13-16) only basic dsp types (e.g.with 3 band eq) are possible !!! Why ???

Thanks!

As I said I think they are using a bit of mathematical magic to simulate gain . No big deal as long as that doesn't exceed about 48 db of "virtual gain". The pad gives them another 12db of range. Or the block diagram could be wrong?

I'm kinda guessing any gain on these channels is "virtual" and not actual - kinda like a camera with digital zoom which loses resolution as the "zoom" is actuated? Assuming 24 bit converters giving up 8 of those would be inaudable but give us 256x "gain" .

I'd assume they would NOT have enough gain for a vocal mic? As long as they work with keys and mic'd kick and guitar cabs that's fine .

I've been unable to find the sensitivity of the physical inputs 13-16. Do they have any gain at all? Can they be used with louder mic'd sources such as kick and guitar cabs?

The first three companies you mentioned are the same company I beleive. Last I knew there two companies that do this, grouped as below:

American Musical Supply

zZounds

Same Day Music

Woodwind Brasswind

Music123

Guitar Center

Musicians Friend

Musician.com

Music & Arts Center

I though Sweetwater was separate?
