3.3 Edit Strip
The edit strip is a central panel offering all of the usual facilities you would
expect to find on a standard channel strip. The edit strip can be applied to any
channel by pressing the channel’s
SELECT
button [4]. It will remain active
on the selected channel until the SELECT button of another channel is
pressed.
AUX MASTER
[9]
Used in conjunction with the AUX 1 and AUX 2 buttons, this control adjusts
the overall send level for either the AUX 1 or AUX 2 bus. When the associ-
ated
STE button is pressed, both AUX 1 and AUX 2 buttons illuminate, indi-
cating that they are now linked as a stereo pair ( AUX 1 = L, AUX 2 = R). In
this case, the
AUX MASTER
control will adjust the send level as a stereo pair.
The red STE LED found next to the AUX 1 send control will illuminate, show-
ing that stereo link mode is active.
Note: The
AUX MASTER
control and its associated buttons are always active, re-
gardless of which channel is currently selected to the edit strip.
HF
[10]
The HF control has a shelving characteristic and offers 10 dB of cut/boost at
a frequency of 10 kHz.
LF
[11]
The LF control has a shelving characteristic and offers 10 dB of cut/boost at
a frequency of 100 Hz.
MF
[12]
The MF control has a semi-parametric characteristic and offers 10 dB of cut/
boost. The center frequency is adjusted with the FREQ control [13].
FREQ
[13]
The FREQ control selects the frequency of the MF EQ band in a range of
500 Hz to 8 kHz.
HPF [14] The HPF button inserts the variable high-pass filter into the channel. This is
useful for reducing unwanted low frequency interference. The choice of cut-
off frequencies for the high-pass filter is 80, 100, 150, 200, 250 Hz.
EQ IN
[15]
The EQ IN button switches the EQ section on and off, excluding the high-
pass filter ( HPF ) which is not affected by this control.
AUX 1, AUX 2
[16]
Each channel can be routed to the AUX 1 and AUX 2 buses. Turning either
control clockwise will activate the AUX send, and the corresponding
AUX
legend in the status window of the selected channel will illuminate.
Turning either control fully anti-clockwise (–
∞
) will mute the AUX send,
and the corresponding AUX legend in the status window will extinguish.
The AUX MASTER control determines the overall level of the AUX 1 or
AUX 2 bus output.
The
PRE
button next to each
AUX
control switches the AUX send between
pre- and post-fader modes (when selected, the PRE button will turn amber).
PRE -fader mode will enable an AUX signal to be sent even if the fader is
down. If AUX 1 and AUX 2 are stereo-linked, the
PRE
button and
AUX
send
level control for AUX 2 will be disabled.
