Master Module

1LAMP DIMMER

The Lamp Dimmer controls the voltage to the 4-pin XLR socket which is provid- ed for the connection of Littlites™.

The pinout is as follows:

 

Pin 1 & 3

+/-12V

Pin 4

0v

max. current 400mA

2PSU RAILS

Three LEDs monitor the status of the power supply rails.

3MUTE FLASH DISABLE

When an input channel MUTE is triggered by the MUTE switch of either a VCA Master or a MUTE master, it will flash to show that it is under the control of a remote trigger. This flashing may be disabled with the MUTE FLASH DISABLE switch (which is recessed to avoid accidental selection).

OSCILLATOR SECTION

The oscillator generates either tone or pink noise, and has its own independent balanced XLR output on the rear panel. The oscillator can be routed to all busses simultaneously.

4PINK

The oscillator generates either TONE (switch released), or pink noise (switch pressed and illuminated).

5FREQ / X10

The frequency range of the oscillator is variable form 63Hz to 1kHz. Pressing the x10 switch (internal LED lit)provides a higher range of 630Hz to 10kHz.

6LEVEL

This control adjusts the oscillator level to both the XLR output and the internal busses.

7OSC TO XLR OUTPUT / ALL BUSSES

The rear panel OSC OUT XLR is enabled when the OSC TO (XLR OUTPUT) ON switch is pressed. The internal illumination indicates when the output is active.

The Oscillator may also be routed directly to all busses simultaneously by pressing the OSC TO (ALL BUSSES) ON switch (LED illuminated) where it mixes with any existing signal.

TALKBACK SECTION

The TALKBACK system allows communication by the operator to the Group and

Matrix Outputs, and to and from the front of house (FOH) console.

8TALKBACK MIC

Talkback Mic input XLRs are provided on the front and rear panel.

9LEVEL

This control adjusts the gain of the Talkback Mic preamp over a 30dB range.
