5 MATRIX MASTER

This control sets the master level for the Matrix and provides 10dB of gain when fully clockwise.

6MUTE

The Matrix output is muted when the switch is pressed, and the integral LED illu- minates to show that the MUTE is active. Note that TALKBACK may still be sent to that output (if TB is pressed), as it is injected post-mute.

7 TB

Pressing the latching TB switch arms the Matrix output to receive talkback from the central talkback section on the Master, when the master “TO OUTPUTS VIA TB” INT switch is active. The switch illuminates to warn that TB is armed. The output is dimmed by 6dB when talkback is active. Alternatively, if the Master Talkback signal is already active, pressing TB routes the Talkback signal to the out- put, until the switch is released.

8 SOLO

The SOLO switch routes the signal from the associated Matrix to the mono PFL or stereo AFL busses of the desk, as defined in the Master SOLO mode. The feed to the AFL bus is post-fade but pre-MUTE, allowing AFL SOLOing of MUTEd Matrix Outputs.

9 ALT (SOLO)

The ALT switch sets the Matrix Output to feed the ALT SOLO busses instead of the primary SOLO busses. The operator can now switch between two SOLO Output systems when a secondary monitoring system is in use (e.g. Primary is Wedge, Secondary is In-Ear).

INSERT

A balanced Insert Point is provided, consisting of separate Send and Return jacks on the rear panel. The Send is normalled to the Return.

GROUP OUTPUTS

The module comprises two identical Output sections which may be used individu- ally or linked as a stereo pair.

9 FADER

The 100mm fader controls the final level to the electronically balanced output.

0 MUTE

The output is muted when the switch is pressed, and the integral LED illuminates to show that the MUTE is active.

qTB

Pressing the latching TB switch arms the output to receive talkback from the cen- tral talkback section on the Master, when the master “TO OUTPUTS VIA TB” INT switch is active. The switch illuminates to warn that TB is armed. The output is dimmed by 6dB when talkback is active. Alternatively, if the Master Talkback signal is already active, pressing TB routes the Talkback signal to the output, until the switch is released. TB is injected post the meter takeoff point, so talkback sig- nals do not appear on the meterbridge.
