PATCH A field
Displays the source name that is patched to USER A. Its {VST config button} opens the USER A patch page
(see screenshot below).
LABEL A field
Displays the USER A label. Its {VST config button} opens the USER A label configuration page, which
displays the internal keyboard, and allows the USER A label to be edited.
PATCH B field
Displays the source name that is patched to USER B. Its {VST config button} opens the USER B patch
page, which is similar to the USER A patch page.
LABEL B field
Displays the USER B label. Its {VST config button} opens the USER B label configuration page, which
displays the internal keyboard, and allows the USER B label to be edited.
The USER A and USER B patch pages allow an alternative monitor source to the normal LR or LCR mix, to
be set up.
This can be used, for example, to allow the user to listen to a favourite monitor mix, whenever a solo is not
pressed (select an Aux bus from the Bus Out page, as shown above). Another application is to allow an
input from the Stagebox to be used as a ‘shout’ talkback line: if the relevant Stagebox input is selected as
the User A or B source, this can be monitored whenever no desk solos are being monitored.
The User A and User B sources are normally stereo, but a mono source can be used by patching the same
source to L and R channels in the patch page shown above.
MON VOL on Faders field
Switching this function ON will assign the Monitor Vol to the Master LR and C faders so that Monitor
engineers have more direct control of these. The MONITOR A volume is assigned to the LR master fader,
and the MONITOR B volume is assigned to the C matsre fader. The Monitor Vol encoder continues to
function in parallel. The LR and C signals are left at the level they had before the function was switched
ON; it is not possible to adjust them in this mode.
Hint! When you load a Monitor Default show, this parameter will be switched on automatically.
DIM LEVEL field
The encoder adjusts the DIM Level between 0 and – infinity. The DIM function is only activated if the Return
Talkback function is activated via the GPIO facility (see Chapter 16) or if any of the Talkback buttons (EXT,
INT, PRESET 1, 2, 3) on the desk are pressed (see Section 12, Talkback & Osc).
