3)Tape Selection for Buses 5 & 6 and 7 & 8 (depending upon the selection of the Input Tape Switch) allows interconnecting

either the tape input signal or the mic input to these buses. Depending upon the configuration of your console, this switch will allow for individual bus routing for quick overdubbing while simultaneously setting up the stereo control room mix. For most recording situations, the input tape switch will be routing the mic signal through the channel and then (from the direct output) to the multi-track tape deck. The output of the multi-track tape deck is then fed back into the tape inputs of the channel and the tape switches will be depressed for buses 5&6 (for the studio headphone mixes) and for buses 7&8 for tape monitoring and stereo control room monitoring. In this configuration, punch-ins are a snap and a quick rough tape mix is automatic. The S/L consoles can accomplish just about any special signal routing requirement you may have. But, there is one aspect of the tape switch that is not normally considered. On the S/L console, you can use the channel tape input as a line input! You can then select the tape switch and route the signal to the stereo bus 7&8. From the 7&8 stereo bus output, you can select the L/R switch to route the signal back to the console’s L/R master faders. This this feature will configure your 24 input console to a

48 input console (more if you have a 40 or 56 channel) with 24 mic pre’s and 24 additional line -ins! Yet another fantastic and unique feature of the Carvin S/L series consoles!

4)Channel Solo & PFL - The S/L consoles are capable of both solo and PFL (Pre Fader Listen) monitoring. For live applica- tions you may wish to configure your console for PFL (especially while setting up the system). But, you may decide that you prefer to have the function of the S/L’s “solo-in-place” as you progress with your mix. Solo-in-place means that you can moni- tor the exact level as it is placed in the stereo field. The ability to quickly configure your console for either type of monitoring is both unique and yet another advanced feature of the S/L series consoles.

The above features are only a few of the unique options offered by the S/L console yet there are so many advanced capabilities such as:

Aux send switching to the XLR balanced outputs (for balanced signal sends especially useful for live sound reinforcement) Stereo Subgroup to L/R interconnects

Control Room to Studio Output selection

Fully isolated power supply utilizing a heavy-duty Speakon™ cable

We simply cannot explain all the configurations and capabilities of these extremely versatile consoles in this short introduc- tion. We encourage you to read the manual and if you have questions call and allow our product experts help direct you to the advanced features available with the S/L series. Without a doubt Carvin’s new S/L consoles represent a significant advance- ment in home studio as well as live sound mixing. The fact that they are value priced is just another bonus you receive from your new Carvin S/L series console.
