3.4 Input Module
A typical STATUS 18R console contains between 24 and 48 Input Modules, depending
on the mainframe size and configuration.
Each Input Module contains two input paths. The path in the upper section of the
module is referred to as the Channel Path (CHAN). The path in the lower section is
referred to as the Mix Path (MIX). Throughout the console Channel Path controls are
color coded Light Green, Mix Path controls are color coded Violet.
Controls and indicators that are common to both paths will be described once.

module’s Mic connector for powering Condenser microphones.
3.4.2 Aux
Each Input Module has eight Aux Send level controls configured as four send pairs. Aux
1/2 is a Stereo send with a Level Control and Pan Pot, Auxes 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 are Mono
sends with Level Controls only. Mono sends 7 and 8 can alternately be routed to the
Input Module’s Track Assign Matrix for output to the multitrack.
Aux Send sourcing and assignment is controlled by switches in the Master Section of
the Digital Master Module.
■
Aux Send Level and Pan Controls
Level and panning to the Aux Buses are controlled by the eight AUX Send knobs near
the top of the module.
Aux 1/2 is configured as a Stereo Aux Send. On this send, the top knob controls level to
the Aux Send pair while the bottom knob pans between the Aux 1 (left) and Aux 2 (right).
Auxes 3 through 8 are configured as Mono sends and have individual level controls.
Auxes 7 and 8 have the option of assigning to Aux Buses 7 and 8 or the module’s Track
Assign. Aux routing is controlled in the Aux Sends section of the Digital Master module.
