# Input Conditioner

#### Applicability

This description applies to the Mono, Stereo, Surround, and Immersive versions of the Input Conditioner module.

#### Overview

Input Conditioner is a module for basic preparation of an input signal before further processing. It provides level, mute, polarity, filter, mono, delay, and grouping controls.

#### Processing Principle

The module adjusts the incoming signal before it enters the main processing chain. It can apply per-channel and master gain, channel mute and polarity handling, high-pass and low-pass filtering, and delay. Coarse and fine delay add up to a total delay value.

### Parameters

#### Level and Channel Control

</td><td>Description

</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Enable

</td><td>Enables or disables the Input Conditioner stage.

</td></tr><tr><td>Grouping

</td><td>Controls how channels are linked or grouped.

</td></tr><tr><td>Master Gain

</td><td>Adjusts the overall gain of the conditioned input signal for all channels. It can be used as a master fader, for example in combination with an automation system or a physical fader via a control protocol.

</td></tr><tr><td>Gain

</td><td>Adjusts the gain of an individual channel (subject to linking settings).

</td></tr><tr><td>Mute

</td><td>Mutes an individual channel (subject to linking settings).

</td></tr><tr><td>Mono

</td><td>Controls mono handling for the input path.

</td></tr><tr><td>Polarity

</td><td>Inverts or restores the polarity of an input channel.
