After pressing the [ ST1 ] or [ ST2 ] attention key and then pressing [ F4 ] (…),
pressing [ F4 ] again will switch the stereo insert point in and out. The icon
above F4 changes to “–>>–” when the insert point is switched in. This icon
also shows just to the left of the main fader when the insert is switched IN.
The diagram opposite shows that ST1C is used as the stereo send and ST1
INS is used as the return jacks.
If you press either of the main stereo output block keys, the menu displays the
actual level of the fader in decibels.
F3 F1 F2 F4
You will notice that there is 6dB gain available when the fader is at the
top of its travel. With this menu showing, the fader level can be changed
using the SpinKnob, or [
+ ]/[ – ] keys.
If you need to exactly set the fader at the 0.00dB level, press the [ Clr ] key. If
the fader was not already in the 0.00dB position, its gain is exactly set to
0.00dB and the null LEDs light to indicate that the fader is disabled as if a
snapshot had been recalled. To regain control of the fader, move it up to the
green null position and press the block key.
F3 F1 F2 F4
Pressing [ F4 ] will change this menu to the BAL menu as shown below.
An offset between left and right levels can be entered on the main stereo
outputs. Simply press the stereo fader block key and F4 to get to the BALance
menu. The SpinKnob and the + & – keys can be used to enter the offset
amount in 0.25dB intervals. Turning the knob clockwise will move the image to
the right of center and turning the knob counter-clockwise will set the balance
off to the left. The amount of the offset is shown in the SmartDisplay and the
BAL indicator lights at the top of the appropriate ST block to show that offset
exists on that stereo output. The illustration below shows a 0.25dB offset to
the right (i.e., the left channel output is 0.25dB lower than the right channel).
F3 F1 F2 F4
This puts a gain offset on the main stereo output. Except in special cases, this
setting should generally be left at 0.00dB, without any offset.
