SoundCraft Audio Mixing Console Model Spirit Studio Input Monitor Path, MIX & Groups, Tape Trim

16.	MIX & GROUPS 1-8
	The input channel signal is routed to the main STEREO
	mix (MIX) or to the GROUPS as stereo pairs (1-2, 3-4, 5-
	6, 7-8) as selected by these switches.
17.	CHANNEL FADER
	This long-throw fader determines the proportion of the
	channel in the mix and provides a clear visual indica-
	tion of channel level. Normal operating position is at
	the ‘0’ mark, providing 10dB of gain above that point if
	required.
	INPUT - MONITOR PATH
18.	TAPE SEND & RETURN
	The TAPE SEND is normally fed from one of the 8
	GROUP outputs. These are repeated across each 8
	channels, e.g. Group 1 feeds Tape Sends 1,9,17 and
	Group 2 feeds Tape Sends 2,10,18 etc. When the DI-
	RECT switch (8) is pressed the Tape Send receives
	only that channel output instead.
	The electronically balanced TAPE RETURN is the nor-
	mal input to the MONITOR path but is swapped to the
	Channel path when CHANMNTR INPUT REV (7) is
	pressed.
19.	TAPE TRIM
	This centre-detented control provides -10dB to +20dB
	of gain trim on the Tape Return input. Note that the
	centre-detented position is the line-up point for +4dBu
	type Tape Machines. For matching -10dBV machines
	the control will need to be reset to about the ‘3 o’clock’
	position.
20.	AUXILIARY SENDS (see 12 above)
	The MONITOR path normally has a pre-fade Foldback
	(FB2) send, and two post-fade Auxiliary sends (AUX

3,4) as described for the Channel path. AUX 3 & 4 may be switched to the Channel path by the CHAN switch if required.
