Input Signal Flow - Yamaha AUDIOGRAM 6 Owner's Manual

Controls and Functions
7
COMP Control
Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the chan-
nel. As the knob is turned to the right, the interface
automatically raises the compression ratio while adjust-
ing the output gain accordingly. The result is smoother,
more even dynamics because louder signals are atten-
uated while the overall level is boosted.
NOTE Avoid setting the compression too high, as
the higher average output level that results
may lead to feedback.
8
MONO/STEREO Switch
This switch allows channels 1 and 2 to be used either
as separate mono channels or as a stereo pair. When
set to MONO ( ), channels 1 and 2 function as inde-
pendent mono channels feeding both the L and R STE-
3
REO OUT jacks
channels 1 and 2 function as a stereo pair: the channel
1 signal feeds the L STEREO OUT jack and the chan-
nel 2 signal feeds the R STEREO OUT jack.
9
PEAK Indicators
The PEAK indicators light when the channel signal
reaches or exceeds clipping level. Note that signal lev-
els as indicated by the PEAK indicators are affected by
both the GAIN and LEVEL controls.
If a PEAK indicator lights, adjust the GAIN

COMP controls to lower the level so that the indica-
tor goes out.

LEVEL Controls
Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these con-
trols to adjust the balance between the various chan-
nels.

This indicator lights when power is applied to the
AUDIOGRAM interface via the USB cable (supplied)
that connects it to the computer.

• When turning the switch on, be sure that
CAUTION
only a condenser microphone is con-
nected to the channel 1 MIC/INST input
jack. Other devices may be damaged if
connected to phantom power. This precau-
tion does not apply to balanced dynamic
microphones or instruments with the
phone jack, however, as these will not be
affected by phantom power.
• To prevent damage to speakers, be sure to
turn off power amplifiers (or powered
speakers) before turning this switch on or
off. We also recommend that you set the
MASTER LEVEL control to the minimum
position. Neglect of these precautions may
result in large noise bursts that may dam-
age your equipment, your ears, or both.

F
USB Connector
Connects the AUDIOGRAM interface to a USB port on
your computer via the supplied USB cable. In addition
to transferring audio data between the AUDIOGRAM
interface and the computer, the USB cable supplies
power from the computer to the AUDIOGRAM interface.
When connecting or disconnecting the USB
cable be sure to turn the DAW control and the
MASTER LEVEL control all the way down.
CAUTION
NOTE Yamaha recommends that you use a USB
cable with a length of 1.5 meter or less.
