1.2.3 Start devices output

This   output   modules   present   in   the   console
(stereo   mini-jack   located   next   RJ45)   can   com-
mand   the   Audicom   computer,   digital   audio   pro-
cessors or any other device with a remote con-
trol. Activation is performed by opening the fader
and press the AIR button on each channel.

1.2.4 Cue

There are several modes for the cueing:

"Solo":

In this mode, when a CUE button is

pressed and then another; the second CUE turn
off the first one. If all channels are set in mode
"soloist"; then only one CUE can be on. By
pressing a CUE buton that is on, it will off.

"Mix":

CUE works with independence of other

channels. The CUE button turns on or off each
time that is pressed. All channels defined as "Mix
mode" can have the CUE button turned on at the
same time.

"Auto-off":

With independence of the modes ex-

plained   above,   the   option   Auto-off   turn   off   the
CUE when the channel is send on-air (AIR button
turned   ON   and   fader   raised).   The   CUE   can   be
turned on once  the  channel is on-air,  but it  will
turned off again if the fader is moved.

The CUE behavior is defined in the configuration
of each module; as explains at “2.4.2. - Custom-
izable features".

The level of the CUE speaker is set using a knob
located at the Master Module.

At the section "Control Room", there is a button
called "CUE to Speaker" that allows to send the
CUE signal to the Control Room's main monitors
and headphones.

1.2.5 ETM-CPU faders

The 2600 uses a new generation of slide
potentiometers: conductive ceramic with

“feather

touch”

. In normal use, offers more than 20 years

of duty. They have a very solid construction, as
the   skate   slides   on   two   sylver-steel   cylindrical
axis with teflon bushings. The fader generates a
DC   voltage   that   controls   the   module's   internal
computer. In a 2600 mixer the audio signal never
passes   through   a   carbon   track   neither
mechanical   switches.   For   more   information
please visit our web site.

Main advantages of this technology are:

•

Eliminates noise generated by dirty faders.

•

Maintenance free and greater useful life.

•

Maintains a perfect stereo tracking (error >

0,1 dB).

•

Allows the use of conductive ceramic sliding

potentiometers which offers 2 millions of op-

erations guaranteed.

1.2.6 On-Air mics button

Located above the main fader, this button turn
on/off the channel. The button lights when is on.

The button ON AIR switch the signal electroni-
cally; there in no mechanical contacts. It gives an
operation clicks & plops free, due to 2600's uses
a fast slope fading action instead of the hard
switch that are characteristic on the mechanical
switches.

When an AIR button is pressed, turns on the

tally light

(the console gives 12 V DC as tally

signal). Also, a relay

mutes the studio moni-

tors

A Master Microphone button is located on the
2608 Master module. The purpose of this button
is switch on/off all microphones channels at the
same time. Each channel can be linked to Master
Mic button with independence. By default, all mic
channels are linked to the Master Mic button.
