iSOLO

The SOLO button is conveniently located below the fader, and provides a mono PFL or stereo AFL feed to the engineer’s headphones or monitors depending on the mode selection at the Master section. The SOLO button can also be activated remotely from a VCA SOLO button, if the channel is assigned to a VCA Group. Intercancel or additive soloing is possible, with or without Input Priority, and solos can be cleared with a single button press (SOLO CLEAR) at the master section. The integral LED illuminates to indicate that a SOLO is active.

oLED input metering

The channel is fitted with a dual 5-segment peak-reading bargraph meter, posi- tioned next to each fader for maximum visibility and giving immediate and graphic indication of incoming (pre-EQ) signals. The top (red) LED in the bar is configured as a Peak LED, and monitors the signal path in three places, (input, pre-Mute and post-fader) giving warning that the signal is exceeding +20dBu. The meter point is jumper-selectable to be post-fader if required (see Chapter 2).
