mic channel if they are too quiet or too loud. Simply pull down their mic
fader, press the Pre-Fade button and ask them to speak into the mic. You
will be able to hear them through your headphones but crucially you can
also see their ‘mic levels’ on the LED Meter (bar graph) so you can adjust
the channel Trim accordingly. Once you are happy, de-select the Pre-Fade
button and don’t forget to put their fader up when you want them to be
able to speak.
7 - Fader:
The Fader is a linear volume control for the channel. By moving
the fader up or down, you will alter the volume of the audio source the
channel is connected to. When in MYR mode, the corresponding Cart Player
will be switched to ‘Preview’ mode when the fader is fully closed (down
position).
8 - Start Button:
This button has different functions depending on whether
you are in Line or MYR modes.
When in Line mode it is used to send a start signal to compatible external
devices (such as some CD players) via the Remote Start Output (see rear of
channel).
When in Myriad mode, it is used to control the corresponding Cart Player in
Myriad and also to display the status of the Cart Player by changing the
colour and illumination state. The following list outlines the possible states
for the Start button when in Myriad mode:
Not illuminated – The corresponding Cart Player in Myriad is empty.
Solid Red – Cart is cued in Cart Player (or paused) and is ready to
start playback.
Solid Green – Cart is playing in Cart Player.
Flashing Orange – Cart has reached the final 10 seconds of playback
(before Extro point).
Flashing Red – Cart has reached final 5 seconds of playback (before
extro point).
Solid Orange – Cart has reached extro point but is still in Cart
Player.
Please note that pressing the Start button will have the following effects:
Press Start When Cart Is Cued / Paused (solid orange) – This will
start playback of the Cart Player in Myriad.
Press Start When Cart Is Playing (solid green) – This will pause the
Cart Player in Myriad.
You will also see that if the Fader is closed then the corresponding Cart
Player in Myriad will switch to ‘Preview’ mode.
