Assign audio sources to an input

Some audio input ports share internal audio processing resources in Pearl Mini. These shared audio sources appear in the same configuration menus in the Admin panel and appear under the same audio input label in the user interfaces.

The audio sources that share resources are:

  • RCA (left and right ports)
  • 3.5 mm (stereo port)

Both the RCA and 3.5 mm audio sources appear under the label RCA/3.5 mm Audio. You can assign one or both audio sources to RCA/3.5 mm Audio. Choosing one audio source for the shared input disables the other audio source. This means that when you select RCA/3.5 mm Audio as the audio source for a layout using the custom layout editor, only the audio source you assign to RCA/3.5 mm Audio is used. Both audio sources are assigned by default.

To avoid unwanted signal noise on the RCA ports, we recommend adding no more than 12dB of gain when RCA or XLR+3.5mm is selected.
