Three-crown turret
In sound recording operation the large all weather
crowns are constantly used to check and select the
various monitor-outs and route-ins configurations
with one hand only.
Monitoring crown
[1] Solo:
the 5Mic, 4Line-in, 6AES inputs, and active
tracks are sent to the phones.
[2] Phones:
the mixer output, the 7-8 tracks, the
A to Q configs are sent to the phones.
[3] Line-out
[4] Foldback
[5]
Digi-out:
the mixer output , the 7-8 tracks and
the output devoted R to Z configs are selectively
sent to these outputs.
Note: while configuring an ‘out’, the phones receive
the same signal audio signal.
Config crown
• In REC. pressing the
monitor-outs
button shows
the listening pattern on the three circular screens
which become ‘left-middle-right’ displays. Since this
doesn’t affect the recording, you can on-the-fly lis-
ten to and select another listening pattern with the
config crown.
• In REC. pressing the
route-ins
button shows the
routing configuration in use.
Note: for error protection the routing can’t be modi-
fied in REC. but switching to PPR during a recording
(up to 35 sec), allows you to select another routing
and go back to REC. not losing a sample of sound!
• In TEST and PPR the config crown browses the
fifteen “input to track” routings and activates the
latest one.
Jog crown
The ‘one finger’ jog is used to move the cursor in
the message panel, edit Scene & Take IDs, select high
pass filters, modulate the backlight, control the pan-
pots, and scrub the player.
Note: [Shift + Jog] 10x accelerates the jog effect).
