NEXIA PM hardware is always represented in the Layout as three separate blocks, two for input connections and one for output connections. Between these blocks can be placed virtually any of the other available NEXIA mixing, routing, and processing blocks (component objects). Like other component objects, NEXIA PM blocks can be placed into the Layout either from the Processing Library or from the Object Toolbar. To access Input 4 Channel settings, double-click over the corresponding block in the Layout. This opens a Control Dialog Box which provides all available settings.

Device IO indicates which hardware input is associated with that software channel. Gain In compensates for different input levels (mic or line), and should be set so Peak In flashes only occasionally (6dB headroom). Phan Pwr assigns +48 Volt phantom power to the input for condenser microphones. Mute In turns the input signal on/off. Level (dB) In adjusts the relative input volume. Invert In reverses the polarity of the input signal.

Right-clicking over certain settings will provide a menu of additional options.

Each NEXIA PM comes pre-configured from the factory with a default system design. If you wish to load your own custom designed configuration you will need to reset/initialize the unit(s) first.
