BCS52 dual stereo line module

To a BCS52 module two stereo line-sources can be connected. BCS modules are available
with (BCS52E) and without three way tone control (BCS52). A normal BCS52(E) module has
two unbalanced stereo line inputs. BCS52S(E) and BCS52N(E) modules have two balanced
stereo line inputs.

LINE 1/

Input source selector. When the switch is pressed line2 will

LINE 2

be activated and the LED will be illuminated.

GAIN

Combined input-sensitivity control.

MONO

When the switch is pressed the left and the right signal will be 
combined to a mono format.

HIGH

High tone control. (BCS52E, BCS52SE, BCS52NE)

MID

Mid tone control. (BCS52E, BCS52SE, BCS52NE)

LOW

Low tone control. (BCS52E, BCS52SE, BCS52NE)

AUX

Routes the signal to the AUX-buss.

AUD

Routes the signal to the AUD-buss.

PGM

Routes the signal to the PGM-buss.

BAL

Balance control. Determines the left/ right ratio of the signal.

OVERL.

This LED illuminates when the signal in the module is too high, 
and in danger of becoming distorted.

PFL

Pre-Fader Listening. By pressing this switch the signal will be 
audible on the head-phones.

ON

Switch to activate the module. When the ON-lamp lights up the 
signal can be heard on the selected busses (AUX, AUD, PGM). 
When faderstart is configured the lamp will automatically light up 
when the fader is opened.
When the module is activated the PFL function will reset.

FADER

With the fader the signal-level can be controlled. The nominal level 
is 0dB.
