direct
The DIRECT output control gives
continuous adjustment of the direct
output level from + 10dB to off. The
output is derived from the input
channel post equaliser pre fader
signal.
The PRE switch re configures the
direct output to derive signal from
the input channel pre insert and
equaliser .
The PAN controls the placement of
the channel within the master stereo
mix and has a constant power law
i.e. - 3dB at the centre position.
The ST switch connects the post
fader channel signal to the master
stereo bus via the pan control.
The AUTO MUTE switches assign
the channel to the 8 auto mute
groups.
The SAFE switches disconnect the
channel mutes from the auto mute
busses.
The MUTE switch mutes the input
channel at all points except the insert
send and direct output if it is set to
pre.
The SOLO switch sends the input
channel signal to the PFL mono and
AFL stereo busses. If the switch is
pressed for a short time it will latch
on or off, but, if it is held on for
more than 1 second the latching is
disabled and when the switch is
released the channel solo will turn
off. As a default the solo system is
auto cancelling so each new solo
cancels the last. This function is time
dependant which allows several
solos to be active as long as they are
switched on at approximately the
same time. The SOLO ADD MODE
switch on the COMMS module
defeats the auto cancelling and
allows multiple channel monitoring.
In this mode input solos have
priority over outputs and will
temporarily override any active
output solos.
The METER monitors the peak
signal level of the pre fader input
channel
The FADER gives continuous
adjustment of the input channel level
from + 10dB to off.
