Channel Configuration (AWS 948 Only)
There are a number of routing and processing options for any channel with an In-line mode, accessed using the TFT screen.
The 16 boxes at the base of the screen indicate the functions assigned to the 16 buttons in two rows of eight below the
screen.
The VGA connector on the back of the console allows the console’s screen to be displayed on an external monitor. See
Section 1 for details.
With the channel’s SEL button enabled, activate the on-screen
SSL button, followed by the on-screen Chan button. A basic
graphic of the channels’ signal chain will appear in the screen,
with the primary channel path’s chain displayed in red, and the
secondary channel path’s chain in green.
The components of the signal path (signal processing units,
routing sources and destinations) are shown as coloured boxes
along the chain graphic for the path they are currently in. If a
component can be switched between paths, there will be a grey
box in the other chain graphic, mirroring the position of the
component within its current path. Use the bottom row of
buttons to toggle these elements between paths.
The left-hand box in each row indicates the currently selected
input to that channel path. EFX assignments are indicated by
the Track bus ( TRK ) coming off the side of the send assigned to EFX.
Note that these screens are only concerned with the distribution of the displayed components between the channel
paths, and do not indicate processing order or secondary path source selection.
The Channel Setup screen provides further configuration options to specific Channel Modes:
In-line Mix
CUE F-CH : In In-line Mix mode the CUE ST pan pot controls pan for the Monitor path whenever it is routed to a
stereo bus, or to a track bus with Pan selected, and the Cue pan follows the main channel pan. Select Cue F-Ch (Cue
Follows CHannel pan) to force the Cue Pan to always follow the main Pan control.
EFX CHOP : (Only available when EFX is active) Switches the channel’s EFX send from the Track bus to the Channel
output. The CHOP PRE/EFX LED in the channel strip lights green to indicate that the channel output has been assigned
to the EFX.
When in ‘send’ mode (with the in-channel
RETURN switch not selected), the bottom-left button in the set of 16 toggles
the source for the secondary channel path between PRE and POST fade – the default is POST .
In-line Track
Auto-M takes control of the RETURN switch to provide automatic monitor source switching between the channel
paths, following the DAW transport status. The monitor path is heard in Play, and the input path is heard in Record or Stop.
S-Cue employs automatic cue send source switching between the channel paths, following the DAW transport status, to
provide full zero latency drop-in and record monitoring, a sum of both paths is heard in Play and only the input is heard
when in Record or Stop.
Cue F-Mon : In In-line Track mode the CUE ST pan pot controls pan for the Channel path whenever it is routed to a
stereo bus, or a Track bus with Pan selected, and the Cue pan follows the main channel pan. Select Cue F-Mon (Cue
Follows Monitor path) to force the CUE ST bus to always follow.
EFX CHOP : (Only available when EFX is active) Switches the channel’s EFX send from the Track bus to the Channel
output. The CHOP PRE/EFX LED in the channel strip lights green to indicate that the channel output is being fed by
the EFX. (AWS 924 EFX CHOP – See section 3.9)
