Eight mono aux sends, each returning a stereo effect

DIGITAL TRIM

•Pressing the DIGITAL TRIM button assigns the channel V-Pots to become digital trim (digital input level) controls.

•Functionally located immediately after the A/D converter in the signal path for channels 1–48.

•When using digital I/O cards, for channels 25–48, there is no A/D converter, so the digi- tal trim is simply the first control in the signal path after the card.

•Digital Trim is a recallable function, unlike the analog Trim control. It can be automated or stored in a snapshot.

•Digital Trim is the only input trim control for channel inputs 25–48.

Talkback Mic

•Located just above the LEVEL TO TAPE and DIGITAL TRIM buttons.

•The Talkback mic is activated two different ways: 1) by pressing Talkback in the Control Room section, 2) by pressing a foot pedal con- nected to the Talkback jack in the rear of the console.

•Talkback audio is sent to the Phones/Cue Mixes when pressing Talkback or depressing the foot pedal, or to the Studio monitor system when pressing Talkback to Studio.

Left/Right LED Ladders (Master Meters)

•Located above the Talkback Mic.

•Indicates the signal level of whatever is se- lected in the Control Room section.

•When Solo is selected, the Master Meters indi- cate the level of the combined soloed channels.

•When Mono is selected in the Control Room section, both Left and Right meters indicate the mono level.
