Oscillator

The oscillator section (see right) contains controls for frequency, level and routing of
the  oscillator  to  the  Main  outputs,  the  Stereo  Subgroup  outputs  and  the  Multitrack
Group outputs. 

BUSSES  1-48

–  Routes  the  oscillator  to  all  multitrack

Group outputs.

MIX

– Routes the oscillator to the main LCRS outputs.

A  B  C  D

–  Routes  the  oscillator  to  the  four  Stereo

Subgroup outputs.

ON

- Switches the oscillator on, would you believe. It’s

good practice to turn the oscillator off when recording,
to prevent any leakage onto the desk outputs.

The  rotary 

FREQ 

switch  provides  eight  preset

frequencies.  The 

LEVEL

control  adjusts  the  output

level from -25dB to +20dB. When fully anticlockwise, a
preset  level  is  selected  which  can  be  calibrated  with
the small multiturn pot located to the left of the main
level control. A red LED lights to show when the level
control is no longer in the calibrated position. 

The oscillator output is available on the patch (jack N9) and is normalled to the tone
distribution  system  (P9).  This  allows  an  external  oscillator  to  be  fed  into  the  tone
routing switches – very useful for injecting those odd frequencies or for pink (or red!)
noise.

A second output, 60dB lower than main oscillator output, is available on jack N10 for
testing microphone inputs etc.
