AUX RETURN
This stereo input is intended to be used for returning reverbs. This input is directly connected to
the stereo main mix buss and can be used to connect other mixers without loosing valuable input
channels.
CUE AUX RETURN
This switch enables you to stereo pre listen to an incoming Aux return signal.
BALANCE
The balance knob controls the balance between the main stereo output and the stereo Cue signal
when selected.
Note: The split switch de-activates the balance control.
With the balance control anywhere between Cue and L/R you always have control over the main
output signal even when a Cue switch is activated.
SPLIT
When the split function is activated the following listening situation is created.
The left side of the phones output gives the summed Cue signal and the right output gives the
summed left/right signal (pre fader).
The balance control has no influence on this configuration anymore.
PHONES
The phones output (located on the front panel) has an automatic input selector.
Normally the left/right output is heard until a Cue switch is activated anywhere in the console
that immediately takes over the left/right signal. The led bar switches accordingly with this
action. We advice you to use headphones with an input impedance not lower than 400 Ohm to
avoid distortion. An 8 Ohm headphone will produce lots of distortion when cranking up the
level due to its low impedance load. It is a load equivalent to the load that loudspeakers
normally present to power amps and as you know the Airmate is no power-amp, sorry.
MASTER FADER
The Airmate master fader is a 51mm model controlling both left and right signals at the same
time.
SELF-OP
This switch mutes the monitor output (your control room monitor) as soon as a microphone
input is opened. At the same time a really is activated which is connected to the Red Light output
connector.
