mono (main audio bus)

features

The HPW is equipped with 3 main audio buses in addition to the 8 audio subgroups. This section of the manual deals with 1 of those 3 main buses - the Mono bus.The Mono bus is directly assignable from all of the Mono and Stereo Inputs, the 8 audio subgroups and the L-R main buses.

Since the Mono bus is directly-assignable from all input sources, and not a derived, summed L-R mix, a variety of uses are possible: Center-cluster feed in a L-C-R church install, subwoofer feed - assign only the appropriate, low-frequency sources to the bus, or use it to sum the L-R mixes to create a mono mix.

The Matrix Send pots allow the user to mix the post-fader/post-mute Mono sig- nal with the other 2 main outputs, plus the 8 groups. If the PRE button is pressed, the signal to the Matrix Send pots is pre-fader/pre-mute.This allows a totally independent output mix to be created. The main fader level will not affect the Matrix mix. The overall level of the entire Matrix mix is controlled by the Matrix Masters, located at the far right of the Master section.

See Matrix section for further matrix information

62Mute Switch w/LED

This switch will mute the post-fader output of the Mono audio bus.The LED will illu- minate when the mute is active. NOTE: These mute switches are NOT part of the programmable mute scenes.

63100mm Fader

This high-quality, 100mm fader is used to control the main output level. Any Post- fader feeds are affected by this control. Nominal position is at the “0” mark, with 10dB additional gain available above that point.

64PK/Sig LED

The FADER is equipped with a bicolor LED that displays the Pre-fader signal level with varying intensity green illumination, and also indicates impending audio overload (within 3dB of clipping) by turning red. Audio clipping is sensed both pre- and post- fader, so even if the fader is down, you will be informed of any bus-related overload problems.

65AFL

An AFL (After-Fader Listen) switch is provided that lets the operator monitor the audio signal in the console’s Solo system.When depressed, the Mono’s post-fader, post-mute signal sent to the console’s Solo system (See Master section for details on the Solo system functions).

All Mono and Stereo	®
Inputs, along with the
8 groups and L-R, can be
directly assigned to the
Mono bus.
Use the Matrix Sends	®
to create additional
mixes from the 11 main
buses (8 Groups, Left,
Right and Mono).These

additional mixes can be tailored to suit a specific need. Mix-in the signals you need or enhance the main-mix by adding addi- tional instruments where needed.
