ART48 - STEREO IN
talkback function and control room output to control the studio
monitors.
PFL(10.)
Each channel (left and right) has a PFL button. When depressed (red
light), the PFL will send the respective signals to the phones or PFL
output on the AUX Master. As well as being a traditional PFL (pre fade
listen), this one also serves as a fourth AUX send, albeit without any
possibility to set the level.
All channels that have the PFL button activated (red light) will be
mixed in the AUX Master unit and sent to the PFL output, controlled
by the PFL fader on the AUX Master.
This function can be useful when an additional monitor is needed, for
example for a singer, where only one signal might be required (in this
case the signal from the “voice channel”).
Note: The PFL section still runs if the CHANNEL ON button is
deactivated (white light).
L / R FADER SECTION(11.)
The channel fader and its associated functionality is probably the
most important part of the output process. In most cases, the signal
going through here will be mixed in the L/R Master and will appear
on the main L/R outputs that drive the recording device or the front-
of-house PA speakers. This is the signal that is usually heard by the
public.
The operation of the L/R fader section is identical to that on other
mixing consoles. The channel faders let you control the total amount
of signal that goes to the master. If you want to completely exclude
the channel’s signal from the L/R Master without changing the fader
position, you can simply deactivate the UNIT ON button (off = white
light). This button will then be acting as a MUTE.
