an indication of the center of the pan pot’s rotation. In this position signal is sent essentially equally to both the left and right buses.

The pan circuitry is a “constant-energy” type, ensuring that as the signal is “panned” across the left/right stereo field, the total energy sent to the buses remains constant. A 3dB level increase will be observed on the left VU meter when the pan pot is set to the fully counterclockwise position. You’ll observe a 3dB increase on the right meter when fully clockwise.

Bus Assignment

Located below the level and pan controls are two buttons, labeled AUX and MAIN. These buttons control the connection of the audio signal coming from the pan pot to the AUX and main audio buses. In addition to audio signals, the AUX button also controls the status of the AUX inter- rupt control bus.

AUX Bus Assignment

The assignment button labeled AUX con- trols the routing of the left and right audio signals to the AUX audio bus. In the off (out) position, signals are not routed to the bus, and the AUX interrupt control bus is not enabled. In the on (in) position, the signals are routed to the AUX audio bus, and the AUX interrupt control bus is en- abled. A status LED, orange in color and visible through a “window” in the button, lights whenever the button is in the on position.

Note that enabling the AUX interrupt control bus may, or may not, have a noticeable effect on the Model 750’s operation. It will depend upon the settings of configuration DIP switches 6 and 7.

Main Bus Assignment

The button labeled MAIN controls the assignment of the left and right audio signals to the main audio bus. In the off (out) position, the signals are not con- nected to the main bus; in the on (in) position, the signals are connected to the main audio bus. A status LED, green in color and visible through a “window” in the button, lights whenever the button is in the on position.
