dual 8-segment channel meter

Separately monitors a left and right pre or post fader signal level as deter- mined by a Master Global POST switch within the master section of the console. Without this switch depressed, a pre fader signal is monitored. When the Global master switch is depressed,ALL channel meters switch to a post fader monitor position to prevent confusion between pre and post channel metering. The dual 8 segment meters include separate dynamic signal present LED indicators which vary in intensity to indicate the presence of any audio signal, and increases in intensity until it reaches full brightness. When signal level reaches -15dB,an additional LED will illu- minate. Additional LED’s indicate at channel signal levels of -6db, -3db,0db, +3db and +8db.

The left and right red segament LED’s (Top left and right LED) sample sig- nals at a pre EQ position, post EQ position, and apost fader position. When these independent signals approaches 3dB of clipping, the associat- ed LED will illuminate RED. These LED’s are NOT affected by the posi- tion of the Global Post Fader monitor switch.

VCA-level LED

This LED glows green to indicate the amount of control voltage applied to the channel VCA; the greater the control voltage, the brighter the LED. Often, a channel may be assigned to more than one VCA master, and it is easy to overlook an assignment and wonder why a channel isn’t on.This LED gives the operator a quick reference to the state of the channelVCA; if there is no LED indication,there is noVCA control voltage.The LED will turn from green to red when the control voltage limit of +20dB is reached as detailed above.This alerts the operator to unusual or incorrect gain set- tings and prevents any additional fader boost from being applied.

solo switch

Will illuminate when manually selected in one of the consoles many Solo modes. Controls within the master section determine if this switch will sample signal pre or post fader/post balance control.

Additional switches will determine the operating characteristics of the Solo system. These may be selected from within the master section to be NORMAL (cumulative), LAST PRESSED (Only one switch will be on at a time.Selecting the next solo switch will automatically cancel the last switch selected) or MOMENTARY (Solo system on only while switch is held down). This Solo switch will also Solo and illuminate automatically if the VCA master group that the channel may be assigned to is put into SOLO.

The STEREO SOLO system displays selected channels on individual Solo Left and Solo Right meters. The signal also appears on separate Headphone and Monitor output channels. The solo signal may also be routed to the Alternate A/B and C/D outputs within the master section.
