How To | Adjust Gain for a Dynamic Mic when using a standard Q-SYS CIML-4 Mic/Line Input Card
This article provides steps for how to adjust gain on a dynamic mic when using a standard Q-SYS CIML-4 Mic/Line input card.
Procedure
- Match the input sensitivity on the Analog side by adjusting the "Max RMS Input Level (dBu)" so that meter is as high as possible without clipping.
- If additional gain is required, use the Digital Gain within the Block associated with the Standard Mic/Line card, or add a Gain component to the output section of the Mic/Line Card and wire it up in the design.
- Make the additional gain change within Q-SYS Designer when running the design or in Emulation Mode.
- If the Gain knob is meant to be used used in a UCI, only use a Gain component and add the gain control knob to the Named Control tab to expose the Control to a third-party controller.
- Or copy it to the Gain knob to a UCI so that it exposed the control to the user.
