PRO6 Control Centre
Quick Reference Guide
Setting a mic amplifier’s input gain
The PRO6 Control Centre has two input gains per channel, one is the remote gain for
the analogue mic pre (stage box gain) and the other is the digital trim (console gain).
In its default state, the stage box gain is in the channel strip and the console gain is in
each input fast strip. However, you can swap these sections over (by pressing the gain
swap button) to give you a more global control of the stage box gain.
Note: The gain trim and stage box control knobs on the control surface will adjust
whatever has been ‘swapped’ to their respective strips and not necessarily what their
names suggest. The stage box control knob (channel strip) always controls the
alternative ‘swap’ to the ones shown in the input fast strips on the GUI screen.
>> To set the stage box gain/console gain
1 Press the quick access button in the gain
trim section to display the GAIN SWAP
button in the GUI’s channel strip.
2 Press the left-right arrow gain swap button
(or click GAIN SWAP) to swap the gain
trim and stage box sections over.
3 Adjust the gain trim control knob (5dB
steps from -5dB to +40dB) to the required
level to suit the Midas pre-amp
characteristic. A suitable level could be one
that only just illuminates the yellow LEDs.
Do this for each required channel.
4 Drive the mic amps for that ‘Midas
colouration’; feel free to overdrive if you
want.
5 After you have achieved the required gain
state, press the left-right arrow gain swap
button (or click GAIN SWAP) to swap the
gains back to their default state.
6 Adjust the digital trim control knob to
(this time) adjust the console digital trim
(+20dB to -40dB continuous trim) for your
preferred gain structure.
7 Set analogue remotes for initial set-up,
then adjust digital trim for showtime.
Pressing the gain swap
button changes the
appearance of the gain trim
