from the main outputs and can therefore provide addi-

 

tional outputs for foldback or external processing units.

 

The six Auxiliary busses are arranged in two sections

 

of three, with each section comprising a pre-fade Fold-

 

back (FB) send and two post-fade, post-cut switch

 

auxiliary sends. Normally FB1 and AUX 1 & 2 are in

 

the Channel path, while FB2 and AUX 3 & 4 are in the

 

Monitor path.

CHANNEL PAN

 

The Pan control determines the position of the Channel

 

signal within the stereo image. Rotation fully anticlock-

 

wise feeds the signal solely to the Left mix buss and

 

odd-numbered Groups, while rotation clockwise

 

sweeps the image to the Right and even-numbered

 

Groups.

CHANNEL PFL/PEAK LED

 

When the PFL switch is pressed, the Pre-Fade signal is

 

fed to the Control Room and headphones outputs,

 

where it replaces the selected source. The PFL/AFL

 

LED on the master section illuminates to warn that the

 

monitor and the meters are now responding to the

 

PFL/AFL selection and the PFL LED on the input chan-

 

nel lights to identify the active channel. This is a useful

 

way of listening to any required input signal without in-

 

terrupting the main mix, so that adjustments can be

 

made or problems traced.

 

When the PFL switch is released the LED on the chan-

 

nel 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 HF/LF EQ if in the Channel path),

 

and POST EQ. The Peak LED will illuminate approxi-

 

mately 4dB before clipping and therefore give warning

 

of a possible overload even if the peaks are removed

 

by external equipment plugged into the Insert.

 

 

15.

CHANNEL ON

 

This switch routes the Channel signal to the Channel

PAN control and then to the routing matrix. It is posi- tioned post-fader to ensure minimum system noise when released, while leaving the pre- fade foldback sends enabled.
