MIX INSERTS

 

These are similar to the Input Channel Inserts and al-

 

low external processing equipment to be ‘inserted’ into

 

the output signal path. The 14" 3 pole ‘A’ gauge jack

 

sockets are by-passed except when a plug is inserted.

 

 

45.

BARGRAPH METERS

 

Two 16-segment, three colour bargraph meters provide

 

visual monitoring of Mix L & R output levels. These are

 

factory set to a PEAK characteristic, but may be

 

changed internally to a VU characteristic. Please refer

 

to the Selectable Options section (Page 31) for details.

 

Normally the meters display Left and Right signals. If

 

any PFL or AFL switch is activated the left meter is

 

turned off and the right meter displays the selected PFL

 

or AFL signal.

 

The bargraphs may be calibrated by trimmers fitted on

 

the edge of the PCBs and accessed via holes in the

 

panel above each meter. Adjustments may be made

 

using a small screwdriver, taking care not to damage

 

the trimmers.

 

 

46.

MIX MASTER FADERS

 

Master Faders for the Left and Right Mix outputs. Unity

 

gain is at the top of their travel.

 

 

47.

OSCILLATOR

 

The dual frequency Oscillator is simultaneously turned

 

on and routed to the 8 Groups and the stereo Mix bus-

 

ses by the TAPE switch.

 

A second switch selects output frequency to either

 

1kHz (Up) or 10kHz (down). Level is determined by

 

the rotary control.

 

 

48.

FOLDBACK MASTER FADERS

 

Rotary master faders drive the FB1 and FB2 outputs

 

via ground- compensated amplifiers. Each Foldback

output has an associated AFL switch, sampling the sig- nal after the fader.
