Vx Group Modules, Peak/Sig Led, Unity LED

CENTURY SERIES

Vx Group Modules

Each Vx Group module has three sections: Matrix, Audio Group, and VCA Group. Fully loaded Vx consoles have eight group modules. Group number is indicated on Solo switch.

Group Meter

Located on the meter bridge, it indicates the post-fader output level of the group.

MATRIX Section

STR PGM Switch w/LED

Normally, the signal sent to the Matrix by the L/R LEVEL TO MATRIX fader is the Left/Right bus signal. This button switches the signal source to the Stereo Program In signal. Green LED indicates selection.

L/R Level to Matrix

Dual control pair. Controls Left & Right level into the Matrix.

Mono/Ext Level to Matrix

Dual control pair. Controls Mono output level and the External Input level added to the Matrix.

Group to Matrix Levels (G1-G8)

Adjusts the level of group signal added to the Matrix.

TB to Matrix w/LED

Enables the Talkback path into the Matrix.mix. Talkback will be heard when it is turned on at the Master ON switch.

PEAK/SIG LED

Indicates signal level of the Matrix.

Green=Signal Present; Red=Peaking Signal

SOLO Switch w/LED

This switch sends the associated Matrix signal to Solo.

MATRIX OUT Level w/LED

This rotary fader controls the master level of the associated Matrix to the rear XLR connector.

GROUP Section

PAN CONTROL

Positions the Group image between left and right or between left-center-right.

L-C-R Switch

Changes the PAN function from normal L-R to L-C-R opera- tion. The mix to the L, R & Mono buses is adjustable with L- C-R PAN. Refer to Special facilities for more information.

MUTE Switch w/LED

Turns off the Group audio to outputs. LED on = audio off.

MONO Bus Assign Switch

Assigns the input signal to the Center / Mono bus. If L-C-R is selected then PAN adjustment will be effective.

Group Fader

100mm linear audio fader. Controls all group signal outputs to the mix and output XLR

MATRIX METER Switch w/LED

Displays Matrix signal on associated Group meter.

FADER REV w/LED

Swaps functions between the Matrix level control and the group fader; one becomes the other.

Group Mono Assign

Assigns the associated Group signal to the Mono bus.

Group L-R Assign

Assigns the Group signal to the Left and Right buses.

Matrix Pre/Post w/LED

Switches the Matrix send between pre and post-fader settings.

Group Peak & Signal LED’s

The red LED indicates that the group signal is within 3dB of the clipping point. The green LED constantly displays the level of group signal activity by varying in intensity.

Audio Group Solo w/LED

Allows for monitoring of the Group signal on meter and head- phones. Choice of PFL or AFL is made in the Master section. AFL is after the Group fader and mute.

VCA GROUP Section

VCA Group Fader

100mm VCA control fader. Sends a control voltage to any inputs assigned to that VCA group.

VCA Group Mute w/LED

Attenuates any inputs assigned to that VCA. VCA group mute is a fader position change; this is different to input mute. (Can be changed to function as an input mute via an internal jumper.)

UNITY LED

Indicates when VCA control fader is at “Unity Gain”, a posi- tion where any inputs subsequently assigned to that VCA will not receive any gain change upon assignment. This permits assignment of inputs to VCA's ‘on the fly’, without affecting the mix at the fader stage.
