fader-reverse function

using the HPW as a monitor console

Because of its 10 Aux sends, the HPW can be used as a 10-output Monitor mixer. Each input channel can access all of the individual Aux mixes, allowing 10 unique mixes to be generated. Normally, the output level of each of these Aux mixes is controlled by the corresponding Aux Master rotary level pot. In situations where the HPW is to be used as a dedicated Monitor Mixer, the 100mm faders can be switched-over to control the Aux outputs instead of the rotary controls by use of the Fader-Reverse switch. Other controls, associated with monitoring the signals, also change functions when this switch is used.

NOTE: These following controls are ALWAYS fed from the Group audio signal, the Fader-Reverse switch does not affect their function.

Matrix Sends M1 and M2: Always fed from post-level/post-mute Group audio, or in PRE position, from the post-insert/pre-level/pre-mute Group audio.

Group Pan: Always fed from the post-level/post-mute Group audio.

Bus Assignment Mono and L-R: Always fed from the post-level/post-mute Group audio.

45 fader reverse w/LED

When this switch is up (LED Off), the following controls perform these listed functions:

Mute (w/Led): Mutes the Post-fader Group output

100mm Fader: Controls the Group output level

Lower AFL switch (below fader): Monitors the Group level via the Solo system

Upper Rotary pot:: Controls the Aux output level

Upper AFL switch: Monitors the Aux level via the Solo system

When this switch is down (LED On), the following controls perform these listed func- tions:

Mute (w/Led): Mutes the Post-fader Aux output

100mm Fader: Controls the Aux output level

Lower AFL switch (below fader): Monitors the Aux level via the Solo system

Upper Rotary pot:: Controls the Group output level

Upper AFL switch: Monitors the Group level via the Solo system

The overall purpose of this reverse switch is to give the operator easier access to the 45

Aux level and control functions. It shifts the Aux controls to the lower, fader-area of the module when used as a Monitor console.The Group controls are shifted to the upper-

rotary area, since the assignable Groups are not often used in a Monitor console.

Use the Fader-Reverse switches whenever it is beneficial to have an Aux level control on ® a fader.These switches can be used individually (if only 1 Aux needs to be controlled), or all can be switched when a full Monitor Console function is desired.
