2.1.6 The Monitor Module 77. SOLO MODE (switch)
Figure 2-6a. PM4000 Monitor Module
(upper portion of module)
Page 2-22
This locking, red, illuminated switch flashes
when engaged, indicating the console monitor
system is set to the SOLO mode. In this mode,
input channel CUE/SOLO switches mute all
other channels, much like a recording console
SOLO function. This mode is useful during setup
and sound check for a live show.
The normal mode of operation during a show,
CUE mode, is entered by releasing this switch; in
this mode, input CUE/SOLO switches do not
mute other channels, but merely replace the
signal which appears in the Phones output.
CAUTION: A lift-up cover protects theswitch from accidental activation. Be sureto disengage the solo mode, and confirmthe console is in the cue mode, prior to thebeginning of a performance. Otherwisepressing any input channel CUE/SOLOswitch will mute all other channels.
78.2TR IN 1, 2TR IN 2, ST CH 3, ST CH 4,
ST OUT, MON. A
(Monitor B Source Select Switches)
These six interlocking switches determine the
signal available at the Monitor B output. The
first two switches select signals from rear-panel
connectors: 2TR IN 1 (two-track tape input #1)
and 2TR IN 2 (two-track tape input #2). ST CH 3
and ST CH4 select, respectively, any signals
which have been derived from stereo input
modules whose internal assign switches are set to
the ST IN 3 or 4 MON buses. The ST OUT switch
selects the signal feeding the console’s master
stereo output as a monitor B source.
The MON A switch selects the signal feeding the
monitor A output [pre monitor level control] as
the signal source; engage this switch if you are
using monitor A and B to monitor the same
signal, and perhaps want only the levels to vary
between the two. In this way, any source you
select for monitor A will also feed monitor B out.
79. LEVEL (Monitor B level control)
This rotary control sets the level of the signal
going to the Monitor B left and right output
connectors.
80. TALKBACK (Indicator)
This red LED turns on when the talkback system
has been activated as a reminder that talkback
signal has replaced whatever signal you may
have previously selected for the Monitor B
output.
