maximum signal level before Clip activity on the channel, or for roughly a “0”
average reading on the meter. Also adjust the channel EQ as desired, then put
the program on hold awaiting insertion and take the channel off Cue.
d) When you are ready to insert the program, simply bring up the channel level.
e) When you are ready to insert the recorded material, simply punch the Cue but-
ton into the up position, then take the recorded material off play hold/pause and
bring up the channel fader to the desired mix levels.
Channel Fader
This adjusts the levels of both the post-channel-EQ signal headed directly for the
Mains master and the EFX send signal headed for the effects processor. The shaded
area of the fader indications around “7” are roughly in the slide range where move-
ments produce the smallest, most precise amounts of level change. Above and below
that area, changes occur more quickly to provide fast “max” or “off” settings.
Channel Clip LED
The channel Clip LED watches all the active electronic stages in the channel cir-
cuit. Whenever any stage’s signal peak approaches clipping to within 3dB, the
Clip LED circuitry captures and displays this event. See under Gain control for
more about this feature.
Channel Crossfader
The Crossfader selects between Channels 1 and 2 sending them to the MAIN mas-
ter. This much-used fader is removable for service and is interchangeable with the
Headphone Crossfader in an emergency.
Channel Crossfader On/Off Button
This pushbutton allows you to turn the Crossfader off while replacing the Crossfader,
or you may prefer to disable the Crossfader and use the channel faders for mixing.
