Stereo Master
All of the controls on the Stereo Master panel interface directly with the Automation.
The Solo System
The Channel and Monitor paths on each Input Module have SOLO switches.
Normally, if a SOLO switch is pressed, the signal it represents is routed to the
PFL/AFL system and the Control-room output is switched to listen to the Soloed
signal.
1
The Console can also be configured to work in SIP (Solo-In-Place) mode. If
SIP is selected, and a SOLO switch is pushed, the signal it represents is left as it is,
whilst all other signals (Monitor, Channel,Stereo Input and Group) are cut; it is
possible, however, to Solo-safe particular signals so that they are not cut when
another signal is Soloed.
Signals can be Solo-safed via the Monitor SIP Safe and Channel SIP Safe pages.
The SIP LED indicates the Status of the Solo System: when the LED is illuminated,
the console is in Solo-In-Place mode. The SIP switch toggles the SIP mode on and
off.
2
The SOLO/AFL LED indicates if any signal is Soloed (either PFL or SIP), or
if any signal is AFL’d.
3
The SOLO/PFL CLR switch will reset the Solo System so that no signals, with
the exception of AFL’d signals, are soloed.
Global Mode Changes

At any time the mode of all of the automated functions can be changed by
pressing the Global Mode switches. Switches which are not selected are not affected
by the Global Mode switches

setup page.
