SoundCraft Five Monitor Series manual VCA Master Faders

MUTE MASTERS

,MUTE ALL OUTPUTS

The MUTE ALL OUTPUTS switch will MUTE every Group and Matrix Output on the console (useful as either a ‘panic’ or ‘desk unattended’ switch). This switch is covered to prevent accidental triggering.

.MUTE MASTERS

8 recessed latching buttons control the mute status of any channels assigned to the appropriate mute group.

Inputs may be assigned to any combination of the eight master mute busses. When an input channel is assigned to a mute bus, it is muted when the corre- sponding MUTE MASTER is pressed. The MUTE MASTER illuminates and the input channel MUTE switch also illuminates to indicate that a non-local mute is active.

VCA MASTER FADERS

These modules offer master controls for the 8 VCA Groups.

/MUTE

Activating the MUTE on a VCA master will activate the MUTE on any slave input channel, allowing groups of inputs to be MUTEd together with a single button press.

[MUTE MASTERS

The attenuation or gain applied on a VCA Master Fader will be applied to all input faders assigned as slaves to that VCA. The VCA Master Fader has 10dB of gain in hand at the top of the fader.

The adjacent NOMINAL LED illuminates when the VCA Master Fader is at unity gain. This is useful as an aid in setting ‘flat’ VCA Masters when the console is con- figured as a logic-linked slave to another ‘Master’ FIVE Monitor console.

]SOLO

Activating a SOLO on a VCA Master will activate the SOLO on any slave input channel, allowing groups of inputs to be PFL / AFL’ed together with a single but- ton press.
