2.6 MASTER with GEQ
49 - MASTER LED DISPLAY
The CMS offers two 12-segment LED-chains for opti-
cal monitoring the output levels of the L/R master sig-
nals. The indication range of the LED-meter is 40 dB,
indicating the levels that are present at the master
outputs in dBu. The meter’s 0 dB mark is referenced
to a 0 dBu output signal at the mixer output. As soon
as a PFL button is engaged, the PFL LED lights. The
meter instrument in the master section is simultane-
ously switched, so that the left LED-chain indicates
the level of the actually chosen channel (in dBu). The
right LED-chain indicates the level of the summed
post-fader master output.
50 - MUTE
The MUTE button mutes the MASTER L/R output sig-
nal. PFL signals are not affected.
51 - PFL
Engaging the master PFL button, the pre fader mono
master signal is routed to the headphones bus, so that
it can be monitored via headphones output. The vol-
ume of this signal is not affected by the setting of the
MASTER fader. The meter instrument in the master
section is simultaneously switched, so that the left
LED-chain indicates the level of the summed pre-fader
L/R master signal channel (in dBu), which basically is
the master bus level, while the right LED indicates the
level of the summed post-fader master output.
52 - MASTER L/R
FADER
Level controls to adjust the output signals of the left
and right master outputs (MASTER).
CAUTION: Please, make sure to set the input chan-
nel faders or at least the master faders
to their minimum position, or to engage
the STANDBY switch, before connecting
an external sound source to an input of
the CMS. This will save you, your audi-
ence, and the equipment from unneces-
sary stress.
53 - STANDBY
Pressing the STANDBY switch mutes the output sig-
nals at the MASTER A OUT L/R, MASTER B OUT L/R,
AUX 1/2 and MON 1/2 outputs. The outputs FX 1/2
and REC SEND L/R are still operational. The STANDBY
LED lights indicating that stand-by mode is engaged.
All audio signals coming from the input channels are
not output via MASTER A OUT L/R, MASTER B OUT L/
R, AUX 1/2 and MON 1/2 outputs. However, audio sig-
nals connected via 2TRACK IN or the DIGITAL AUDIO
INTERFACE (see Play USB to 2TRACK on page 28) are
still outputted, providing you with a very comfortable
solution to play intermission music during perform-
ance breaks.
