THE MASTER SECTION
The Discom 4 master section houses all the controls for the summing amps and master inputs
such as Aux return, 2-Track return, and master outputs. All individual functions we shall
describe here.
LEDBAR METERS
The master section has two large 21 segment
meters (VU meters) reading all in and outgoing
signals. The attack and release timeconstants are
conform international standards, being 300mSec
for attack and decay.
The green area in the ledbar is the safe area, and
the yellow area the range that normally would be
on when properly aligned.
The output of your Discom 4 is +4dBu (1.22v)
when the last green led is on.
MASTER MONO SWITCH
This switch turns the stereo signal into mono for
both maain outputs. It is a convenient way of
balancing the left right signal before going to
stereo. Also when one side of the stereo signal is
missing the mono switch is very helpful.
AUX SEND
The Aux send master controls the sum of all the
individual Aux send signal coming from the input
channels.
AUX CUE
The Aux cue redirects the master output signal
and ledbar indication to the Aux output that
gives you the total outgoing signal of the Aux
master. It is necessary to turn the master control
up to have an outgoing signal.
MONITOR
The monitor control is fed by the master outputs pre master fader.
It is an extra stereo output for another sound system or recording device.
FOLLOW PHONES
This switch actually is an input selector for the monitor output. Instead of listening to the
main outputs, it is also possible to listen to the phones output. This feature is often used by
DJ's that do not want to use headphones.
2-TRACK
This switch replaces the incoming left/right signal or Cue signal by an externally connected
source on the 2 track input connectors. Its sensitivity is -10dBv (300mV).
Note: The Cue system will interrupt the 2 track when activated.
