fed subs or center speaker.
24. PAN
Positions the channel signal between L/R in the stereo mix, and odd/even if
routed to the groups. The center 12 o'clock position (mono image) is detented for
quick resetting.
25. MUTE
When pressed, the channel signal is turned off. This affects the feed to the MAIN
LEFT (L), RIGHT (R), M mix, pre and post-fade aux sends and direct output, but
does not affect the insert send. The red LED indicator lights when the channel is
muted. Always mute the channel when switching +48V phantom power, or
plugging in the cables and sources.
26. PFL
Press PFL to listen to the pre-fade channel signal in the headphones and local
monitors (MONITOR OUTPUT) without affecting the main outputs. The console
PFL/AFL active yellow LED indicator lights and the LEFT RIGHT VU meters
display the channel signal. Selecting more than one PFL at the same time mixes
those signals together in the monitor.
27. CHANNEL METER
A 4-LED channel meter displays the pre-fader signal level. “-20” green LED lights
when a signal level of -20dBu is detected. “0” green LED lights when the nominal
0dBu level is reached, and “+6” yellow LED lights at +6dBu. “PK!” red LED lights
when the channel pre-fade signal is within 6dB of clipping (level detected at
+24dBu onwards). This gives you enough warning to reduce GAIN before you
hear signal distortion.
28. ROUTING
Press MAIN to route the channel signal to of MAIN L+R mix. Press 1-2 and 3-4 to
route channel signal to GROUP (1-2) and GROUP (3-4) respectively. Use PAN to
position the signal between L/R or the odd /even group pairs. To route to a single
group, set PAN fully to one side. You can route to MAIN and all groups
simultaneously by pressing in all switches. Check that you have set these
switches correctly before you start mixing.
29. FADER
A high quality 100mm smooth travel VCA fader with protective dust cover
controls the channel level feeding the main mix, groups and post-fade aux sends.
It also affects the direct output if this has been set to post-fade. The fader
pr10dB maximum boost above its normal unity gain 0dB position.
