solo operation

The HPW is equipped with a stereo solo bus that allows the operator to monitor the various signals within the Console. All Input channels have a PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) switch. Outputs are equipped with an AFL (After-Fader Listen) switch. The PFL circuit on the Inputs allows the operator to properly set the channel’s internal signal level using the channel’s Gain pot and Pad switch. Since the signal being moni- tored is PFL the mute status, the channel fader level and any bus assignments, are ignored. This allows a channel to be monitored and adjusted without being sent into any of the main mixes. The operator has a chance to properly set the levels and EQ of a channel before anyone else might hear it.

For Outputs, the AFL signal point allows the operator to hear exactly what is being fed to the outside world. The output level, as well as any inserted processing gear, can be monitored by the Solo system. For times that a Pre-Fader point needs to be checked, the Monitor Sources can be used to listen to a bus before its main fader.

109solo metering

Whenever a Solo button is pressed (PFL or AFL), the SOLO LED indicator will illuminate and the Monitor Source LED meters will switch-over to display the Solo bus level. These meters are calibrated to properly display the different internal levels within the console. The 0VU point is the nominal operating level of whatever signal is being Soloed. Use the Solo system and metering to set the gain of an Input chan- nel, monitor the output level of a bus, or check on the vocal blend of an Aux moni- tor mix.

NOTE: Since the Solo

+

 

system uses a sum-

 

ming bus, if more than one source is selected (PFL switch is depressed), the signal being displayed and heard is a mixture of those selected signals. When setting the gain of an Input chan- nel, make sure that only 1 Input is

selected to avoid errors.
