The Master Module block contains the main audio buses and their associated controls, VCA masters and Mute group/ scene masters and functions including

monitoring and talk back.

8 VCA masters are standard on all CVmodels. Assigning Channels to a VCA is via “soft assignments”. With a channel assigned to a VCA, not only can the channel’s post fader level be controlled by the VCA master but the channel can also be muted and soloed from the master.

8sub-groups are also provided on CV models for conventional grouping each with their own 12 segment bar graph metering. From the sub group signals can be sent to the L/R and Mono buses. With the LCR switch engaged panning between the Left, Right and Mono buses can be applied for LCR applications.

Separate Left, Right and mono bus controls are also provided on all CV units with 12 segment bar graph metering for each bus.

Each subgroup and main bus can also be sent to 4 Matrix outputs 1 & 2 Matrix buses being fixed mono and 3 and 4 being switch able from dual mono to stereo sends. Matrix level control is provided via rotary controls with Matrices 3 & 4 having the expanded ability to route to Aux 11 & 12 to add post processed sub-grouped audio to the Aux mix. The Matrix buses can also source signals from the stereo inputs as well. This makes Matrix expandable from 11 x 4 to 19 x 4.

12 Aux masters are also provided with separate solo and mute switches for each master. Mutes of Aux masters can be accessed locally or via the scene controls (see scene controller). Each Aux master also has its own 12- segment bar graph meter for monitoring purposes.
