bouncing.
Only one of the pair of signals is considered here.
The summed Group signal is passed through an unbalanced Insert point on the rear
connector panel.
10
The Insert-point Return signal is fed to the Fader, which provides a gain of
+10dB at the top of its travel.
11
The Insert-point Return signal is also fed to an electronic PFL switch. The input
to this switch is the sum of both of the Group pair signals. The PFL switch is
controlled by the Automation. The Automation reads the state of the SOLO switch
to decide when to activate the electronic PFL switch. When the PFL is active, the
LED adjacent to the SOLO switch is illuminated. The PFL signal is sent to the
Control-room Phones/Speakers.
12
The post-fade signal is fed to an electronic cut switch. This switch is controlled
by the Automation in response to the soft CUT switch. The adjacent LED illumi-
nated when the CUT is active.
The post-cut signal is fed to its appropriate Group Return bus. The eight Group
Return buses in the console facilitate the connection of any Input Channel to any
Tape Send, and they are also used when track bouncing.
13
The post-cut signal is also fed, via the MIX switch, to the MIXL bus (odd-num-
bered Groups) or the MIXR bus (even-numbered Groups); these buses are the Stereo
Master Mix buses.
The post-cut signal is also fed to an output socket on the rearcon panel.
Meters
The Metering consists of twin 16-LED bargraph meters. They may be connected to
the pre-fade section of the Stereo Inputs or to the post-fade, post-cut section of the
Groups. The switching is under the control of the Automation: they are switched
via the Meterbridge Set-up page. The current setting is indicated by the STE and
GRP LEDs on the overbridge.
