Solo - VCA edit switch

Throughout the X-VCA console, Stereo Solo/VCA edit switches can be found on just about every input and output.

The Solo - VCA edit switch has two functions: it can be used to activate or deactivate the channels solo feature, or it can be used to include or exclude the channel from one or more VCA groups.

Solo Functions

Pressing this switch will include (solid illumination) or exclude (not illuminated) the input channel from the consoles solo system. As determined by a switch within the master solo control section, signal many be monitor pre fader (in stereo) or post fader/post bal- ance pot in correct panoramic positioning. Once placed in the con- sole solo system, the channel may be removed locally by pressing the switch again. The channel also may be removed by using the Solo Clear function or by pressing another channel’s Solo-VCA Edit switch when the Last Pressed solo mode is selected in the master section. (See master section - solo control.)

When illuminated, it indicates that the channel is being solo'd and may be heard within the master monitor section as well as displayed on the left/right solo meters.

VCA Channel Assignment Function

When the console is placed in VCA Edit mode, this switch is used to include the channel in, or exclude it from, one or more VCA groups. For a complete discussion see the section on VCA Group Operation.
