3.9 200 Slot Programming and Patching
The routing of the Upper and Lower 200 Slots is dependent on which modules are installed and
internal programming.
Preamps in 200 Slots
If the Upper 200 Slots are equipped with a preamp, its output is internally programmed to directly
feed the Input Selector switches MIC input on the 1068L Input module. The Lower 200 Slot is
available for signal processing.
Signal Processing in Both Slots
If the channel preamps are installed in the Options Bucket, the Upper and Lower 200 Slots are
both available for signal processing modules. In a standard installation, both slots are grouped
together for routing purposes.
In this configuration, the location of both 200 Slots is determined by an internal programming
link. The possible locations are:
•
Pre-EQ Fader 1
•
Post –EQ Fader 1
•
Pre-EQ Fader 2
•
Post –EQ Fader 2
NOTE: Since the routing of the 200 Slots is determined by an internal link, the location cannot
be changed from the channel control panel. See the studio documentation or
engineering staff for the 200 Slot programming of each installation.
Using the 225L Compressor as an example, the routing to and from a 200 Slot is stated below for
each of the possible slot locations:
Fader 1, Pre EQ:
•
Mic/Tape switch output to COMP IN
•
COMP OUT to pre FADER 1 CHANNEL INPUT
Fader 1, Post EQ:
•
EQ Bypass switch output to COMP IN
•
COMP OUT to Fader 1 path pre INSERT SEND
Fader 2, Pre EQ:
•
Mic/Tape switch output to COMP IN
•
COMP OUT to pre FADER 2 CHANNEL INPUT
Fader 2, Post EQ:
•
EQ Bypass switch output to COMP IN
•
COMP OUT to Fader 2 path pre INSERT SEND
Movable Upper 200 Slots
In some installations, the Upper 200 Slots can be programmed to change locations in the signal
path by programming a USER switch in the Center Section. This capability can be set up to apply
independently to all the channels in each bucket of 16-channels. The Upper Slot can be
programmed to move to one of the following locations:
•
Pre-EQ Fader 1
•
Post –EQ Fader 1
•
Pre-EQ Fader 2
•
Post –EQ Fader 2
The Lower 200 Slot will remain in the fixed location determined by the internal link.
FADER 1 FDR INPUT: Fader 1 Fader Input
•
Replaces the feed to the Fader 1
Fader Input
The Fader 2 Fader Input is located:
•
Post Insert Return
•
Pre Phase Reverse (Polarity
Inverter)
