LED illuminates to indicate an active solo.
Pressing SOLO on an input selected SOLO SAFE does not cut the other channels.

PFL I AFL Trim and Metering.
18 The level of the PFL and AFL signals can be adjusted by the centre detented
PFL/AFL TRIM control, which has a range of +/-15dB.
19,20
There are four 20-segment LED bargraphs (Left, Right, Mono and
PFL/ AFL). The L & R meters normally monitor the selection of the Monitor Select
switches. The MONO meter only monitors the Mono Mix output. The PFL/AFL
meter monitors the PFL or AFL signal. When the AFL signal is in stereo, the higher
of the Left or Right signals is diplayed. Two mechanical VU meters in the
overbridge normally monitor the Mix Left and Right outputs. Pressing MTR ( 19)
changes them to follow the Mono and PFI.J AFL signals. In AFL, a sum of the L&R
signals is metered.
The 20 segment PFI.J AFL meter reads the PFL or AFL signal before the trim control
so that a true level is displayed. Where the AFL signal is in stereo, the higher of
the Left or Right signals is diplayed. Calibration trimmers are accessible through
small holes below each LED column for adjustment with a suitable miniature
screwdriver.
Expansion Input
A balanced and bu4dBu input for a client console provides the necessary
interface to the Stereo and Mono Mix, PFL and AFL busses. The input is via an
optional multi way connector on the rear of the console.
