Dimmer and mute control connections

A remote box for mute (MUTE ALL) and dimmer control may be made up and used so that the control of these functions can be carried out from a location in the listening environment other than the main mix- ing location.

Use non-latching push-to-make switches wired to a common sleeve ground with the dimmer wired to ring, and the mute to the tip of a standard 3.5mm ste- reo plug. The detection of the change in level, rather

than the open/closed status of the switch triggers the change in the unit’s status.

A remote box fitted with these switches can operated alongside the appropriate front panel switches (it does not replace them).

See “Dimmer level” on page 17, “Dimming the out- put” on page 21 and “Muting all the channels” on page 21.
