88 Outboard Series / 8804 Fader pack
Issue 2.7
Operation
Channel Faders
Sixteen 100mm channel faders on the 8804 surface control the levels on
channels 1 - 16 with a gain range from -∞dB to +15dB.
Having 15dB gain in hand is a useful creative tool, particularly when riding
levels in the mix.
Care should be taken not to overload the workstation or other recording
device by using too much boost across multiple channels simultaneously.
With the 8804 fader pack attached, the 8816 rotary pots are taken out of the
main circuit and retasked as an auxiliary send level control.
These auxes will always be pre-fader, and cannot be changed to post-fader,
and in this situation, the 8816 Master Level pot is no longer used.
Master Faders
Two master faders control the Mix Left and Mix Right output levels with a
gain range from –∞dB to 0dB.
With both faders at the top of their range the mix gain is unity.
Cut/Solo Channel Switches
Cut/Solo buttons above each channel activate the Mute relays in the 8816 via
the USB connection.
The switches on the 8816 or on the 8804 may both be used, each will
illuminate to reflect changes made from the other.
