Control Room
Global Buttons:
These buttons allow users to turn
all of the Control Room source signals to either AFL
or PFLs. The ‘Clear All’ button that accompanies the
Solo button will clear all currently active solos
Solo Safe Button:
Push the Solo safe button to
select solo safe on any of the solo sources. Here
users will be able to select which channels they wish
to activate the solo safe function on. Channels that
are set to solo safe will be sent to the Main stereo mix
regardless of any Solos that are activated on other
channels. The SAFE indicator within the solo source
buttons will light up when a Solo Safe is activated
on a channel.
Solo:
Pushing the Solo button will allow users to ‘solo’
any of the channels in the ‘Solo Source’ section. A red
headphone icon will appear within the button when
a Solo is activated on a mix.
Solo Source Buttons:
These buttons determine
whether the corresponding input channels, Aux mix-
es, Group mixes, Main mix and EFX mixes will be
sent to the control room (in other words, the signals
will be ‘soloed’). By pushing the SOLO SAFE button
first, you can also determine whether the signal will be
pre-fader listens (PFLs) or after-fader listens (AFLs).
AFLs will be blue, while PFLs are green. When so-
loed, a red headphone icon will be displayed within
the button. The word SAFE within the icon indicates
that the channel has had a safe solo applied.
Control Room Mono On/Off Button:
Pushing this
button will combine the left and right signals of the
Control Room mix to create a dual mono output
signal. When deactivated, the Control Room signal
will be stereo.
Control Room Level Control:
This fader adjusts the
final output level of the control room mix, the signal
of which is taken from the individual solos activated
on channels. This control also affects the output level
of the headphones mix, which can then be controlled
further by using the Phones control beside the head-
phones output jack.
Control Room Level Meter:
This level meter dis-
plays the final output signal level for the Control Room
outputs on the rear of the Acapela.
