Audio Settings (e.g. USB audio)



  • The adjustable audio processes (e.g. Vox) can be activated or deactivated using the att_4_for_1665237345.png symbol on the left-hand side. The parameters can be set using the att_5_for_1665237345.png symbol on the right-hand side.

  • The functions without adjustable parameters (e.g. Mute) are activated or deactivated by clicking on them.

  • The audio levels can be adjusted using the faders.


Customize the filter options

  1. Click on the att_6_for_1665237345.png icon on the right-hand side of the audio filter.

  2. Adjust the corresponding filter parameters:

    • via keyboard:

      1. Click on the value.

      2. Enter a value using your keyboard.

      3. Confirm your entry with the Enter key.

    • via mouse:

      1. Click on a value and hold down the mouse button.

      2. Move the mouse to the right/left or up/down to adjust the value.

      3. Release the mouse button to accept the value.

  3. Changes are applied to the audio signal in real time.

  4. If several filters are combined in an audio filter (e.g. HP / LP filter), you can activate / deactivate individual filters using their att_7_for_1665237345.png symbol.

  5. Close the audio filter with the att_8_for_1665237345.png symbol.

Partyline A/B

This interface is only available on the NSA-003A.

Call

Sends a shout into the partyline.

Kill

Switching off an open microphone.

Filters

Separately activatable high and low pass filter.

High pass: 40 ... 640 Hz
Low pass: 1 ... 16 kHz

Vox

The acoustic switch (Vox) can only be used to trigger GPOs when the adjustable switching threshold is exceeded.

Switching threshold: -140 ... 0 dBFS
Hysteresis: 0 ... 10 dB
Holding time: 0 ... 6400 ms

Mute

Switch to mute the audio signal.

Fader

Slider for setting the audio level. The current level is displayed next to it.

Limit

The limiter prevents the audio signal from exceeding a certain level by reducing the peak values.

Threshold value: -80 ... 0 dBFS
Attack: 0 ... 100 ms
Release: 10 ... 1000 ms

USB Audio

This interface is not available on the NSA-010C.

Show In/Out

Switches the view of the USB audio interface between input and output.

Vox

The acoustic switch (Vox) can only be used to trigger GPOs when the adjustable switching threshold is exceeded.

Switching threshold: -140 ... 0 dBFS
Hysteresis: 0 ... 10 dB
Holding time: 0 ... 6400 ms

Mute

Switch to mute the audio signal.

Fader

Slider for setting the audio level. The current level is displayed next to it.

Link

Combines the settings of the left and right channels so that the level adjustment and muting takes place on both channels. When linking the channel legs, the right leg always takes over the parameter settings of the left leg's settings.

Universal Out x

This interface is only available on the NSA-005A, NSA-006A and NSA-007A.

Analog / Digital

Switches the Universal Out x audio interface to Analog or Digital mode.

Vox

The acoustic switch (Vox) can only be used to trigger GPOs when the adjustable switching threshold is exceeded.

Switching threshold: -140 ... 0 dBFS

Hysteresis: 0 ... 10 dB

Holding time: 0 ... 6400 ms

Mute

Switch to mute the audio signal.

Fader

Slider for setting the audio level. The current level is displayed next to it.

Link*D

Combines the settings of the left and right channels so that the level adjustment and muting takes place on both channels. When linking the channel legs, the right leg always takes over the parameter settings of the left leg's settings.

*D only in digital mode

Universal In x

This interface is only available on the NSA-004A, NSA-006A and NSA-007A.

Analog / Auto / Digital

Switches the Universal In x audio interface to Analog or Digital mode or automatically detects the connected audio signal in Auto mode.

48V /
Off /
Auto

Switches the phantom power of the Universal In x audio interface in analog mode on (48V) or Off. In Auto mode, the phantom power is switched on automatically when a phantom-powered microphone is detected.

Automatic phantom power detection only works reliably with microphones connected to the NSA Universal Input. When connecting line outputs to the NSA Universal Input, false detections are very likely to occur and the phantom power will therefore be activated, which, depending on the design of the line output device, can lead to its damage.

This message also always pops up when the Phantom Power is set to auto and has to be confirmed by the user: Are you sure you want to enable "Auto Phantom Power"?

Vox

The acoustic switch (Vox) can only be used to trigger GPOs when the adjustable switching threshold is exceeded.

Path: Transparent / Trimmed
Switching threshold: -140 ... 0 dBFS
Hysteresis: 0 ... 10 dB
Holding time: 0 ... 6400 ms

Filter*A

Activatable high-pass filter.

High pass: 40 ... 640 Hz

Mute

Switch to mute the audio signal.

Fader

Slider for setting the audio level. The current level is displayed next to it.

Auto Trim*A

The Auto-Trim function automatically analyzes the highest level of the audio signal within the defined measurement period and adjusts the gain value to achieve the desired target level. Level reductions are applied immediately; the final adjustment is made once the measurement is complete.

Measuring Time: 3 ... 30 Sec.
Standard: 10 Sec.
Target Peak Level: -24 ... 0 dBFS
Standard: -6 dBFS

Limit*A

The limiter prevents the audio signal from exceeding a certain level by reducing the peak values. The Limiter in the Universal Inputs is only affecting the signal on the Input's "Trimmed Output".

Threshold value: -80 ... 0 dBFS
Attack: 0 ... 100 ms
Release: 10 ... 1000 ms

Link*D

Combines the settings of the left and right channels so that the level adjustment and muting takes place on both channels. When linking the channel legs, the right leg always takes over the parameter settings of the left leg's settings.

*A only in analog mode
*D only in digital mode

Headphone

This interface is only available on the NSA-006A.

Mono

Downmixing the stereo source of the headphones to mono.

Mute

Switch to mute the audio signal.
