stereo matrix / aux out module
stereo-matrix features
external-in left and right signal-level to matrix
Dual Concentric level control pair with center controlling left XLR line
input to left matrix output and the outside controlling the right XLR line
input to the right matrix output. It is this set of inputs that allows for cus-
tomizing of backing artists generic mixes,as these inputs can represent an
artists microphone inputs.
illuminated mute-switch
Controls local mute function of this stereo matrix output. This switch illu-
minates red when this section is muted (Regardless of source).
µ-mute switch
Sets and indicates microprocessor mute preset status of this stereo
matrix output. This illuminated switch will show current µ-mute status
preset as illuminated or not illuminated. It will show preview next status
as either blinking illuminated or not illumination. Status of this µ-mute can
be toggled on or off by depressing this momentary switch. This switch
may also be directly accessed by an external sequencer if operating in
external control mode.
The status of the µ-mute switch is stored in local memory for the current
mute scene, next, and last mute scene without the need to store any
changes to permanent memory. A snapshot of this switch in either active
or next (preview) mode may be stored to permanent memory if desired
from within the master microprocessor controller to any of the micro-
processor storage locations in addition to the current location.
This switch has no effect on the stereo matrixes actual mute status until
the master output mute switch is activated within the master section of
the console. The µ-mute may be loaded automatically by the micro-
processor system allowing sequenced (Master mute switch on at all times)
or pre selected mute control (Master mute switch on only when mute
preset is needed). If no microprocessor control is required,the master
mute switch may be selected to manual operation,allowing this system to
be preset and to perform as any other manual mute preset.
µ-mute active-LED
Will illuminate RED when the µ-Mute system is commanding this section
to mute.The output master micro safe switch (located adjacent the mas-
ter faders) determines whether or not the mute will actually occur. It is
possible to disable the µ-mutes for all outputs.
