Operation And Usage - Ecler nuo 3.0 Manuel Utilisateur

8. Listen to the signal with your headphones
Press the PFL button (7) on channel 1. Adjust the LEVEL controller (23) to obtain a comfortable monitoring volume.
Now you should hear music with your headphones. Turn the SELECT controller (22) to the right to crossfade the
PFL signal and the MIX signal. When this controller is completely turned to the right, only the MIX signal will be
monitored.
9. Try the operation of the tone controllers
Experiment with this powerful 3-way stereo equaliser (4, 5, 6). This tone control has been designed for a creative
sound edition: each way can be individually isolated using the big and ergonomic rotary controllers.
10. Verify the crossfader settings.
Each channel can be assigned to the crossfader using the A/OFF/B switch (10). The crossfader allows melting the
signals assigned to its sides. If the switch is in position A or B, the channel is assigned to one or the other side of
the crossfader. The OFF position disables the crossfader function for this channel.
11. Adjust the crossfader curve
The XFADER SHAPE control (29) allows you to precisely adjust the skew angle of the crossfader's curve. Turning
the controller completely to the left, the two songs will be melt softly. The crossfader's curve raises when turning
the controller to the right. Moving the controller completely to the right, the signal will enter suddenly with just a
short movement of the crossfader, which is a very suitable feature for scratching techniques.

5. OPERATION AND USAGE

Start-up
This can be done using the switch (43) located at the mixer's back panel. Now the LED ON (15) indicator will
highlight. Even if the noise produced while enabling the NUO3.0 is as low as possible and gets completely
cancelled if all faders are turned down, it is always recommendable to turn on the devices using the following
sequence:
1. Sound sources.
2. Mixer, equalizers, active filters.
3. Finally, power amplifiers.
Powering off should be done by following the exact reverse sequence in order to avoid any possible damage to the
loudspeakers.
Control Description
Input selector
Each channel features an input toggle switch selector (1).
Channel GAIN
All the NUO3.0 input channels have an accessible input sensitivity GAIN control (3). The GAIN controls adjust the
input level of each channel in order to compensate the different sources connected to the mixer.
The gain adjustments should be done with great care, using as a reference the VU-meter (2) on each channel. The
standard level reference used to mix audio signals is 0dBV.
