There are a total of nine stereo monitor outputs, three stereo control
room monitors, two stereo studio outputs and four stereo foldback
feeds. The control room and studio monitors can be selected between
the Main stereo output, the dedicated multitrack monitor bus and nine
external stereo sources. The operator can select and/or mix up to six
of these signals at any time. It is also possible to listen to different
signals in the control room and studio or, for security, the control
room monitor can be locked to the Main stereo output.
The four foldback outputs are supplied for headphone feeds and can be sourced from the Aux Sends or the
Main stereo output. To assist in setting up headphone balances, the front armrest on the console has
convenient headphone jacks that can be wired into the studio’s foldback monitoring system.
Comprehensive talkback facilities are provided including slate, talkback to foldbacks and talkback to studio
monitors. The OXF-R3 has two programmable talkback groups as well as an auto-cue function that enables
the second talkback group whenever the multitrack machine is not in Play or Record.
Three oscillators are provided with fully variable frequency and level. One of these provides tone to internal
signal paths. The second provides an external analogue output and the third a digital output.
The central fader always controls the Main stereo output and can simultaneously acts as a master level
control for multiformat outputs. Additional processing is available for the Main stereo output, including
compression and EQ, as well as routing to an insert point and the ability to route the stereo mix back to the
multitrack. The Main stereo output, Stereo Sub-groups and Aux Sends can feed either analogue or AES/EBU
signals. And all digital outputs can be individually dithered to different word lengths (16, 20 and 24 bits).
The Main stereo output is distributed to four separate analogue and/or digital outputs.
The Master Facilities of the OXF-R3 have been designed to supply
comprehensive programme and monitor outputs. These include eight
Stereo Sub-groups, 24 Aux Send Masters, Main stereo output, control
room monitoring, studio monitor, external meter outputs and four sets
of headphone foldback feeds.
