down or click track in your headphones, and then just before the down beat, UN- mute the CR-1604.

•For live performance intermissions, use the MAIN OUTPUT MUTE to kill hum and

10

noise from the room and prevent drunken

 

head bangers from mounting the stage and

 

screaming the name of a rival band.

•When recording at home and the tele- phone rings, hit the MAIN mute instead of pulling down your main faders. Now you can monitor that quality near field loud- speaker in your answering machine and decide whether or not to SOLO the caller.

14 SOLO TO MAIN

This switch determines what happens when

11

you press channel or Aux Return SOLO buttons.

• IN — The CR-1604’s Main output is

 

 

interrupted whenever a Solo

 

button is activated.

•The effect of this button follows the setting of the SOLO TO MAIN button (i.e. if SOLO TO MAIN is pressed IN, the phones and the main output are replaced with the Aux Return signals. If it’s left in the OUT position, only the headphones will get the soloed Aux Return signals).

12ALT PREVIEW

This button allows all channels assigned to the ALT 3/4 to be monitored through the headphone output.

This can come in very handy when you need to hear a cue from one of the tracks that is currently assigned to the ALT 3/4 Bus

(Muted). All the inputs that are currently assigned to the ALT 3/4 output can be heard through your headphones when the ALT PREVIEW button is depressed.

•OUT — Only the Headphone output is interrupted during solo monitoring. This is great for live work so that the sound person can solo into his phones without affecting the main mix. Sorry, but this button is not effective against poorly played or exces- sively lengthy guitar solos. If the problem persists, consult a physician or perhaps try the MUTE-ALT 3/4 on the offending player’s channel.

•In the studio, SOLO TO MAIN can allow you to listen to your solo channels through the same speakers that you use for the mixdown if you are using the Main Outputs for your control room monitoring.

You can also use this feature to monitor a second mix if you have decided to hook up a second tape deck to the ALT 3/4 outputs.

13MAIN OUTPUT MUTE

This button mutes the main stereo and mono outputs of the CR-1604. All other outputs are blissfully unaffected.

•A useful application for this control is to help reduce perceived noise from your multitrack tape machine and musical instruments prior to the start of the song.

15HEADPHONE JACK

The stereo PHONE jack will drive any standard headphones. Walk-Per-

son-type mini phones can also be used with an appropriate adaptor.

WARNING: When we say the

headphone amp is 00 loud, we’re not

kidding. Even inter-

mediate levels may be unpleasantly loud with some headphones. Be care- ful, please!
