Vx Group Modules
Each Vx Group module has three sections: Matrix, Audio Group, and VCA Group. Fully loaded Vx consoles have eight group modules. Group number is indicated on Solo switch.
Group Meter
Located on the meter bridge, it indicates the
MATRIX Section
STR PGM Switch w/LED
Normally, the signal sent to the Matrix by the L/R LEVEL TO MATRIX fader is the Left/Right bus signal. This button switches the signal source to the Stereo Program In signal. Green LED indicates selection.
L/R Level to Matrix
Dual control pair. Controls Left & Right level into the Matrix.
Mono/Ext Level to Matrix
Dual control pair. Controls Mono output level and the External Input level added to the Matrix.
Group to Matrix Levels
Adjusts the level of group signal added to the Matrix.
TB to Matrix w/LED
Enables the Talkback path into the Matrix.mix. Talkback will be heard when it is turned on at the Master ON switch.
PEAK/SIG LED
Indicates signal level of the Matrix.
Green=Signal Present; Red=Peaking Signal
SOLO Switch w/LED
This switch sends the associated Matrix signal to Solo.
MATRIX OUT Level w/LED
This rotary fader controls the master level of the associated Matrix to the rear XLR connector.
GROUP Section
PAN CONTROL
Positions the Group image between left and right or between
L-C-R Switch
Changes the PAN function from normal
MUTE Switch w/LED
Turns off the Group audio to outputs. LED on = audio off.
MONO Bus Assign Switch
Assigns the input signal to the Center / Mono bus. If
Group Fader
100mm linear audio fader. Controls all group signal outputs to the mix and output XLR
MATRIX METER Switch w/LED
Displays Matrix signal on associated Group meter.
FADER REV w/LED
Swaps functions between the Matrix level control and the group fader; one becomes the other.
Group Mono Assign
Assigns the associated Group signal to the Mono bus.
Group
Assigns the Group signal to the Left and Right buses.
Matrix Pre/Post w/LED
Switches the Matrix send between pre and
Group Peak & Signal LED’s
The red LED indicates that the group signal is within 3dB of the clipping point. The green LED constantly displays the level of group signal activity by varying in intensity.
Audio Group Solo w/LED
Allows for monitoring of the Group signal on meter and head- phones. Choice of PFL or AFL is made in the Master section. AFL is after the Group fader and mute.
VCA GROUP Section
VCA Group Fader
100mm VCA control fader. Sends a control voltage to any inputs assigned to that VCA group.
VCA Group Mute w/LED
Attenuates any inputs assigned to that VCA. VCA group mute is a fader position change; this is different to input mute. (Can be changed to function as an input mute via an internal jumper.)
UNITY LED
Indicates when VCA control fader is at “Unity Gain”, a posi- tion where any inputs subsequently assigned to that VCA will not receive any gain change upon assignment. This permits assignment of inputs to VCA's ‘on the fly’, without affecting the mix at the fader stage.
