REC Button
This button allows the output of the channel to be
mixed onto the Record bus output. The button is
illuminated red to indicate the channel is active on
the Record Bus. This button can be disabled via the
Configuration Options, so that it is permanently on
or off.
TRIM Control
This control allows the level of the audio on this
channel to be adjusted by ±15dB. This additional gain
is applied prior to the channels fader, and is useful
for setting relative levels between audio sources on
different channels.
Note:
It is a good idea to set up all the audio channels
so that they are
all at the same reference level when the fader is fully
up, meaning the mix levels are determined solely by
the position of the faders.
PAN/BAL Control
This control has two functions depending on whether
TEL or AUX is selected.
In TEL mode the control acts as PAN and allows the
mono input to be positioned in the stereo image.
With the control in the centre position, the signal is
present on both the left and right channels. Turning
the control fully anti-clockwise pans the signal
to the left by increasing the level by 3dB and the
signal on the right channel is turned off. Turning the
control fully clockwise pans the signal to the right by
increasing the level by 3dB and the signal on the left
channel is turned off.

Strip.
In AUX mode the control acts as BAL (balance) and
is used to alter the stereo image of the stereo input.
With the control in the centre position, the signal is
un-altered. Turning the control fully anti-clockwise
shifts the signal to the left by increasing the gain by
6dB with the signal on the right channel reduced by
6dB. Turning the control fully clockwise shifts the
signal to the right by increasing the gain by 6dB with
the signal on the left channel reduced by 6dB.
CUE/PFL & TB Button
Selecting CUE/PFL & TB routes the pre-fader input signal
to the monitoring section where the signal can be heard
on the Monitor, Presenter or Guest headphones provided
the associated AUTO CUE/PFL button is selected. The level
can then be checked on the meters and adjusted via the
TRIM control, and the pan or balance set with the PAN/
BAL control. When the channel is in TEL mode, selecting
CUE/PFL & TB also enables talkback from the channel
1 microphone to the caller on the telephone, without
having to open the fader on channel 1. Provided the
fader is closed, the signal will not be routed to the PGM
or REC outputs even if they are selected. This button is
illuminated green to indicate CUE/PFL & TB is active, and it
has a momentary and latched action; if the button is held
down, CUE/PFL & TB is cancelled when released. There is
a Configuration Option to automatically cancel CUE/PFL
& TB when the fader is opened. This option is enabled by
default.
