EURORACK
LEVEL SETTING:
When recording to digital recorders, the recorder’s meter should not go into overload. This is because, unlike analog recordings, it takes only slightly excessive levels to create unpleasant digital distortion.
When recording to analog, the VU meters of the recording machine should reach approx. +3 dB with
+The peak meters of your EURORACK display level almost independent of frequency. A recording level of 0 dB is recommended for all types of signal.
MODE
The MODE switch determines whether the channels’ SOLO switch operates as PFL (Pre Fader Listen) or as solo (Solo In Place).
LEVEL SET (PFL)
To activate the PFL function, press the MODE switch. The PFL function should, as a rule, be used for level setting. The signal is sourced
NORMAL (SOLO)
When the MODE switch is not depressed, the stereo solo bus is active. Solo is actually short for “Solo In Place”. This is the customary method for listening to an individual signal or to a group of signals. As soon as a solo switch is pressed, all channels not solo selected are muted in the monitor path (control room and phones). A channel’s position in the stereo image is maintained. The solo bus carries the output signals of the channel pan controls, the aux sends and the stereo line inputs. On the
+The PAN control in the channel strip offers a constant power characteristic. This means that the signal is always at a constant level, irrespective of position in the stereo panorama. If the PAN control is moved fully left or right, the level in that channel increases by 4 dB. This ensures that, when set at the center of the stereo image, the audio signal does not appear louder. For this reason, with the solo function activated (Solo in Place), audio signals from channels with PAN controls that have not been moved fully left or right are displayed at a lower volume than in the PFL function.
As a rule, solo signals are monitored via the control room outputs and headphones jack and are displayed by the level meters. If a solo switch is pressed, the signals from the tape input, the subgroups and the main mix are cut from these outputs and the level meter.
MAIN SOLO
The MAIN SOLO LED lights up as soon as a channel or aux send solo switch is pressed. The MODE switch must be set to “Solo”.
PFL
The PFL LED indicates that the peak meter is set to PFL mode.

LEFT/RIGHT switch
The switches located above the subgroup faders assign the subgroup signal either to the left or right side of the main bus. Similarly, it can be routed to both sides or none at all. In the latter case, the submix is present only at the corresponding subgroup outputs.

Use this switch to activate the graphic equalizer.
MAIN MIX/MONITOR
This toggles the graphic equalizer between the main mix and the monitor mix. With the switch up (not depressed), the equalizer is active in stereo on the main mix, and inactive on the monitor mix.
When the switch is depressed the equalizer is active in mono on the monitor mix, and inactive on the main mix.
