STEREO Switch w/LED

Like the AUX 1-6 controls, AUX 7&8 Individual Level Controls normally send a summed (L+R) signal to the AUX outputs. When the STEREO switch is depressed, AUX 7 and 8 become a send ‘left’ and ‘right’ send respectively. This can be used for a stereo effects send.

WIDTH Control / Balance

Dual concentric control pair. Outer control sets image width for the outputs to L, R and Mono. The outputs to Group buses are not affected by Image Width.

STR = normal stereo

MONO = summed L&R in both channels

REV = mirror image of normal

Inner control 'Balance' adjusts image position, extreme L and extreme R setting attenuate the opposite sides about 20dB. When LCR is selected, the Balance control changes function.

Fully clockwise = full level to center, no signal to L&R

Fully counter-clockwise = full level to L&R, none to center

50% rotation = equal levels to L, R & Center outputs.

combines L&R audio into a mono mix for the assigns to group mixes only.

MUTE Switch w/LED

Mutes the channel and all send functions. Mute also responds to the Mute Group system and to the VCA Group Mute if selected (refer to User Options). The LED illuminates when the channel is muted.

MONO Bus Assign Switch w/LED

Assigns audio to the Mono bus.

LCR Switch with Indicator

Controls the function of the L-R and M assign switches in combination with the Balance control. When LCR is selected, the Balance control provides continuous variation of outputs to the L, R & Mono mixes.

Full clockwise = full level to mono, none to L-R.

Full counter-clockwise = full level to stereo, none to mono. Refer also to Special facilities.

Bus Assign Switches,L-R & Mono w/LEDs

Connect the post fader stereo audio to the output buses. These outputs are always affected by the Width and Balance controls. Balance provides L-C-R panning function to the three output buses when the LCR switch is selected.

SOLO Switch w/LED

Operator monitor facility, switches channel audio into the headphones and SOLO meters in stereo. Choice of PFL or AFL. Unaffected by mutes.

L&R PEAK & SIG LEDs

Input level metering for the L and R channels. The green signal LEDs turn on at about -30dB and brighten with increasing level. They show the pre-amp output levels.

Red peak LEDs turn on 3dB before overload and show the lev- els post-fader, pre-fader and at the preamp output.

Fader

100mm VCA fader adjusts the channel stereo audio level. Controls all outputs of the channel except those Aux output sections selected pre-fader.

VCA Group 1-8 selectors

Assign the channel VCA to the VCA group control buses. Puts the channel audio level under the (remote) control of the VCA Group fader along with other channels assigned to the same group. Independant of the Group Audio Assign section above.

VCA LED

Indicates VCA gain (i.e., gain of fader stage) via a two-color LED. Indications are as follows: Green - intensity indicates gain status (gain of fader stage). Red - indicates maximum VCA gain has been reached, approximately 15dB. When the gain LED is red then further requests for increased level, by moving the channel fader or the VCA Group fader up, will produce no response.

Mute Group selectors A-D

Assign input channels to any of the four Scene Mute groups. Mute response occurs only when the group Master has been activated.

Mute Groups Safe Switch w/LED

Bypasses the selected Scene Mute assignments. No Scene Mutes can occur. An associated green LED indicates the chan- nel is in a SAFE (isolated) state.
