ULTRALITE FRONT PANEL OPERATION

PAGE

When the LCD display is in mixer mode, the PAGE

knob cycles through the mix parameters listed

below. Use the CURSOR knob to scroll to a

particular channel (until it ﬂashes) and use the

VA L U E k n o b t o c h ange its setting:

Mix parameters that apply across all mixes

The last three mix settings (Trim, Phase Invert, and

Stereo Pair) apply across all mixes because they

have to do with the nature of the input itself. For

example, if you have an input that requires +10dB

of boost, then you’ll want the boost to apply to all

mixes.

Working with stereo pairs

When you group a pair of inputs as a stereo pair, all

of their mix settings become linked, and whenever

you scroll to either channel, both channels will

ﬂash to indicate that they will operate as a linked

stereo pair. Note that when a pair is ﬁrst created,

pan is set to hard left and hard right, but the

channels can then be further modiﬁed indepen-

dently. When a pair is unlinked, the channels are

set to pan-center.

CURSOR / VALUE

When the LCD display is in mixer mode, the

CURSOR knob scrolls left and right over the 10

inputs displayed in the LCD. The current input

ﬂashes. The VALUE knob changes the current mix

parameter for the currently ﬂashing input. In some

cases, such as Gain and Pan, the LCD will “zoom”

to the enlarged horizontal fader while you adjust it

with the VALUE knob. After you stop adjusting, the

LCD will return to the mixer display.

STAND-ALONE OPERATION

All settings, including all mix settings and global

settings, are saved in the UltraLite’s memory, and

they remain in effect even when the UltraLite is not

connected to a computer. This allows you to use the

UltraLite as a stand-alone 8-bus mixer. You can

make adjustments to any setting at any time from

the front panel.

Mix

parameter Range Comments

Gain OFF,

-84 to 0 dB

Each channel displays a small fader.

Push the VALUE knob to toggle

between OFF and unity gain (0dB).

Pan -64 to +64

Zero = pan

center

Push the VALUE knob to jump to

pan center. Stereo pairs (explained

below) are panned hard left/right by

default.

Solo “s” or

blank

Push the VALUE knob to toggle

between soloed (S) and not soloed

(blank), or turn the knob to toggle.

Mute “m” or

blank

Push the VALUE knob to toggle

between muted (m) and unmuted

(blank), or turn the knob to toggle.

Trim zero to

+24dB for

inputs 1-2

zero to

+18db for

inputs 3-8

zero to

+12dB for

S/PDIF

This setting applies universally

across ALL mix busses for each input

or input pair. Push the VALUE knob

to toggle between the minimum and

maximum setting. For the Mic inputs

(1-2), 24dB of gain is provided, and

this trim setting can also be adjusted

with the dedicated front panel trim

knobs for the two mic inputs. For

analog (TRS) inputs 3-8, 18dB of

gain is provided. For the S/PDIF

input pair, 12 dB of gain is provided.

Inv

(Phase

invert)

“i” or blank This setting applies universally

across ALL mix busses for analog

inputs 1-8. Push the VALUE knob to

toggle between phase-inverted (i)

and not phase-inverted (blank), or

turn the knob to toggle.

Pair “[ ]” or

blank

This setting applies universally

across ALL mixes. Push the VALUE

knob to toggle a stereo input pair

between separate mono inputs

(blank) or a stereo pair (“[ ]”). Or

turn the knob to toggle. When a pair

of inputs are linked, all of their mix

settings become linked (gain, solo,

etc.) except for pan. When the pair is

first created, pan is set to hard left

and hard right, but the channels can

then be further modified indepen-

dently. When a pair is unlinked, the

channels are set to pan-center.
