iLive AP6526 PAFL monitor system

ALLEN&HEATH iLive Reference Guide AP6526 iss.3 53
PAFL monitor system
iLive features a comprehensive engineer’s monitoring system with headphones and local monitor outputs
available at the Surface, and headphones duplicated at the MixRack. The audio anywhere in the signal
path can be listened to using these monitor outputs, and checked on the dedicated PAFL meters.
Dedicated Surface and TouchScreen controls and user preferences let you configure the monitor system
the way you want to work. For a dedicated Monitor mixing application you can assign Surface strips as
the engineer’s Wedge and IEM monitor masters.
Surface controls and connections
PAFL keys Each fader control strip includes a PAFL key. Press this to
check the signal associated with the strip. Depending on the setting of the
PFL/AFL master keys, you can check the signal before the fader (PFL) or after
the fader (AFL).
The yellow indicator next to the key lights when PAFL is active. Yellow CHK
indicators next to the associated sockets on the iLive audio modules also light
(not available on T Series). This is very useful in helping you or the stage
technician checking the patching of the sockets or when troubleshooting
troublesome sources such as radio mics.
The strip SEL and/or MIX keys can be linked to the PAFL key operation. For
more information on this refer to the TouchScreen PAFL Functions page later
in this section.
Input channel PAFL overrides Mix master PAFL. This means you can listen
to a monitor mix using an Aux master PAFL, then check an input source by
pressing its channel PAFL. Releasing the channel PAFL restores the Aux
master PAFL.
Processing block SEL key Listen function Press and hold any
SEL key in the processing control section for more than ½ second to send the
audio at that point in the signal path to the monitor. For example, you can
press the PREAMP SEL key to check the signal before the EQ and dynamics,
and then the COMPRESSOR SEL key to listen to the effect after compression.
You can also listen to the side chain signal affecting a gate or compressor.
