Quick Start
● To restart the DA7:
Simultaneously press the METER button in the [MASTER DISPLAY]
section and the H(High) LED button in the [EQUALIZER] section, if
you need to restart the DA7 without shutting down.
● To clear flipped faders to a specific layer:
Press and hold the master fader layer button for the layer you want all
the faders to switch to for two seconds. See page 6-2, Fader Layers,
for more information.
● To clear all solo’d channels:
When you have solo’d multiple channels, you may wish to clear them
all at the same time. You may not be able to see all the channels you
have solo’d at any one time because they may be on different fader
layers, thus causing confusion as to what is or is not solo’d. In either
case, simply press any solo button for two seconds and all the solos
will clear. See page 16-2, Utility, Solo Monitor (SOLO/MON)
Window, for more information.
● You should consider the CHANNEL button in the [MASTER
DISPLAY] area of the top panel "Home Base" or the "safety" or
"PANIC" button for the DA7's LCD display. If you get lost or cannot
find your way out of a particular screen, press this button to return
the LCD screen to the [CHANNEL] window. This window shows you
the current status of the main features of the mixer.
● The cursor appears in the screen as a "highlight selection" device, not a
typical pointer or arrow. As you use the controls to navigate around
the LCD screen, the various areas, buttons, fields, and lists in the
windows will be selected by a border or highlight designating the
current area or item.
● Remember that the knobs located in the EQ, PAN DYNAMICS and AUX
area are buttons that have several functions. See the appropriate
chapter for the functions of these buttons. See page 7-3, EQUALIZER
Section, page 8-1, PAN/BUS ASSIGN Controls, page 9-3,
DYNAMICS/ DELAY Section Controls, and page 10-3, AUX Section
Controls, respectively for more information.
● Setting Gain structure in a digital mixer is extremely important. The
way to do this on the DA7, is to start with the signals coming into
Inputs 1-16. Since these are the signals that will be passed through an
A/D converter, you should try to get as high a level as possible without
overloading the circuit. With the Channel Fader set at 0, while
watching the PEAK/SIGNAL LED of the Channel Strip, turn the
MIC/LINE INPUT knob to adjust the signal to gently "peak". You will
