AUX - The AUX button selects the channel output to the aux. mix, providing a convenient method of generating an 
additional stereo clean feed for effects, studio foldback and reverse cue for remote broadcasts. 
  
BALANCE - ± 3dB of adjustment is provided to allow for stereo imbalance on programme material or for effect. A 
centre detent allows easy location of the calibrated position. 
  
CUE - Cue mode is activated on and off by successive presses of the button. Indication of cue is provided by high 
brightness LED illumination of the switch. Various auto-reset functions can be programmed to suit user 
requirements. Cue is derived after the balance pot, but before the channel's stereo VCA section. This allows the 
balance pot to be set up whilst in cue ('stereo in place cueing'). Please refer to logic pre-programming section.  
FADER - A high-quality conductive plastic 104mm unit is fitted. The fader controls a DC voltage, which in turn 

controls the channel VCA’s and provides bottom of track switching functions for logic control and final audio muting.  

 

 
FADER START - Enables fader start facility for machine control. Opening the fader then becomes  
equivalent to simultaneously pressing the ON button and closing the fader becomes equivalent to simultaneously 
pressing the OFF button. 
  
ON / OFF - Please refer to logic pre-programming section. 
  

TELCO INPUT MODULE (2003)  
 

GENERAL - The Telco input module is designed to allow the connection of phone-in lines via an  
external telephone hybrid. Many hybrids incorporate a changeover relay between a normal telephone instrument 
and the hybrid line connection. This can be remote operated from the channel.  
Controls have been kept simple and uncluttered to allow self-operation by relatively non-technical staff. Large 
illuminated push buttons are provided for major functions. 
  
TRIM - /- 

10dB gain adjustment. The pot has a centre detent to allow easy location of ‘unity

 

gain’ position.

 

  
HOLD - Produces the necessary signal for telephone hybrids that incorporate a changeover function between the 
normal telephone handset and the channel input.  
 
OUTPUT SELECT - The REC button diverts the main channel output to the off-line record mix. This therefore, allows 
completely independent off-line stereo production and recording to take place whilst the mixer is on-air. 
  
AUX - The AUX button selects the channel output to the aux-mix, providing a convenient method of generating an 
additional stereo clean feed for effects, studio foldback and reverse cue for remote broadcasts. 
  
PAN - Allows the channel output to be placed at any point within the stereo image. The indented  
centre position presents a loss of 3dB which gives a substantially constant sound level no matter where the signal is 
positioned within the stereo image. 
 
CUE - Cue mode is activated on and off by successive presses of the button. Indication of cue is provided by high 
brightness LED illumination of the switch. Various auto-reset functions can be programmed to suit user 
requirements. Cue is derived after the pan pot but before the channel's stereo VCA section. This allows the pan pot 
to be set up whilst in cue ('stereo in place cueing'). Please refer to logic pre- programming section. 
  
FADER - A high quality conductive plastic 104mm unit is fitted. The fader controls a DC voltage, which in turn 

controls the channel VCA’

s and provides bottom of track switching functions for logic control and final audio muting. 

  

OUTSIDE SOURCE MODULE (2004)

 

  
GENERAL - The 2004 Outside Source Channel adds support for remote sources using modern wide-bandwidth links. 
One channel can accommodate four such sources and provide each with a stereo, full-bandwidth cue feed. Cue 
feeds can be individually assigned to receive programme (desk output) or a cleanfeed (desk output with the outside 
source material removed). The internal electronic mix-minus stage offers high rejection across the full audio band.
