Fader-Flip Function
Using the HP-Eight as a Monitor Console
Because of its 10 Aux sends, the HP-Eight can be used as a 10-output Monitor mixer.
Each input channel can access all of the individual Aux mixes, allowing 10 unique mixes
to be generated. Normally, the output level of each of these Aux mixes is controlled by
the corresponding Aux Master rotary level pot. In situations where the HP-Eight is to
be used as a dedicated Monitor Mixer, the 100mm faders can be switched-over to con-
trol the Aux outputs instead of the rotary controls by use of the Fader-Flip switch.Other
controls, associated with monitoring the signals, also change functions when this switch
is used.
NOTE:These following controls are ALWAYS fed from the L-R main audio signal, the
Fader-Flip switch does not affect their function.
Matrix Sends M1 & M2:Always fed from post-level/post-mute main audio,or in PRE posi-
tion, from the post-insert/pre-level/pre-mute main audio.
Bus Assignment Mono:Always fed from the post-level/post-mute main audio.
The Matrix Send pots allow the user to mix the post-fader/post-mute main signal
with other 2 main outputs, plus the 8 groups. If the PRE button is pressed, the signal
to the Matrix Send pots is pre-fader/pre-mute.This allows a totally independent out-
put mix to be created, the main fader level will not affect the Matrix mix.The overall
level of the entire Matrix mix is controlled by the Matrix Masters, located at the far
right of the Master section.
See Matrix section for further matrix information
Fader Flip w/LED
When this switch is up (LED Off), the following controls perform these listed
functions:
Mute (w/Led): Mutes the Post-fader main output
100mm Fader: Controls the main audio output level
Lower AFL switch(below fader): Monitors the main audio level via the Solo system
Upper Rotary pot: Controls the Aux output level
Upper AFL switch: Monitors the Aux level via the Solo system
When this switch is down (LED On), the following controls perform these listed
functions:
Mute (w/Led): Mutes the Post-fader Aux (9 or 10) output
100mm Fader: Controls the Aux output level
Lower AFL switch (below fader): Monitors the Aux level via the Solo system
Upper Rotary pot:: Controls the main (L or R) output level
Upper AFL switch: Monitors the audio level via the Solo system
The overall purpose of this flip switch is to give the operator easier access to the Aux
level and control functions. It shifts the Aux controls to the lower, fader-area of the
module when used as a Monitor console.The main audio controls are shifted to the
upper-rotary area.
Use the Fader-Flip
switches whenever it is
beneficial to have an Aux
level control on a fader.
These switches can be
used individually (if only 1
Aux needs to be con-
trolled), or all can be
switched when a full
Monitor Console function is
desired.
