can be made or problems traced.

 

When the PFL switch is released the LED on the channel

 

serves as a PEAK indicator, to warn when an excessively high

 

signal level is present in the channel. The signal is sampled at

 

two points in the channel, PRE INSERT (PRE Hi-PASS FIL-

 

TER), and POST EQ. The Peak LED will illuminate

 

approximately 4dB before clipping and therefore give warn-

 

ing of a possible overload even if the peaks are removed by

 

external equipment plugged into the Insert.

CHANNEL FADER

 

This linear fader determines the proportion of the channel in

 

the mixes and provides a clear visual indication of channel

 

level. Normal operating position is at the ‘0’ mark, providing

 

10dB of gain above that point if required.

 

 

 

OUTPUT SECTIONS

 

 

 

There are eight Monitor Outputs, arranged in pairs. Each

 

Output offers identical facilities.

 

 

1.

MONITOR OUTPUTS

 

Each Monitor Output is driven by a ground-compensated am-

 

plifier and fed to standard male XLR-3 connectors.

 

 

2.

MONITOR INSERTS

 

These allow external processing equipment to be ‘inserted’ into

 

the monitor signal path. The 14" 3 pole ‘A’ gauge jacks are by-

 

passed except when a plug is inserted.

 

 

3.

SUB

 

The SUB control and associated switch and LED feed the

monitor output to the engineer’s submix, which is the normal source for the headphones and wedge outputs. The signal is derived before the Talkback and Dim circuitry, and the sub- mix is therefore unaffected by either of those functions in the Output section. The submix feed is enabled when the ON
