Camera Overload Protection - Audio Output Bracketing
Audio output bracketing duplicates the left channel on the right channel at lower signal level (approximately 16dB lower). So, if the camera overloads on the main signal on the left channel, you have a backup at a safe lower level on the right channel
Accomplished by setting the Mono/Stereo switch to Mono (mixing all mics together and sending to the right and left outputs), then attenuating the right output by turning on the R-pad switch
Audio output bracketing adds no noise or distortion, in contrast to the noise and distortion created by limiters. It also consumes no battery power
