a
ENTER key
Use this key to confirm entries
and to answer “yes” to questions (the cursor keys are
usually used to cancel or answer “no”).
Monitoring section
This section is used to control what is heard from the
control room and the studio monitoring systems.
Since many of the choices here are “soft” choices
(that is, determined by the software), the full expla-
nation of these keys and indicators is provided in a
separate section (“Monitoring” on page 73).
b
Meters
These meters show the level of the
currently-monitored signal.
c
SOLO control and indicator
When the
indicator is lit, soloing is enabled and a channel has
been selected for soloing. The level of the soloed sig-
nal is controlled by this knob.
d
PHONES control
This control regulates the
level of the signal sent to the phones outputs.
e
Monitor selection keys
These keys are
used to select the signal sent to the control room
monitor outputs (and the phones outputs).
The
STEREO
key routes the stereo output signal to
the monitor outputs. The
SEL 1
,
SEL 2
and
SEL 3
keys route the signals selected in the monitor screen
to the monitor outputs.
f
Talkback microphone
This integral
microphone can be used for studio talkback or slate
output.
g
DIM key and indicator
This “smart” key
works in the same way as the
STUDIO
key above.
When on, the control room outputs are attenuated
(the amount is set using the monitor screen).
h
MONO
This outputs the selected signal in
mono to the control room monitors and phones.
i
STUDIO key and indicator
This “smart”
key latches on when pushed and released within a
second, and is switched off by pushing it again in the
same way. If pushed and held down for more than a
second it is non-latching, that is, it turns off when
released.
When on, the control room outputs are attenuated,
and the talkback microphone signal is routed to the
studio outputs.
j
CR volume control
This control adjusts
the level of the signal selected with the selection keys
and sent to the control room outputs and
PHONES
outputs.
k
TO SLATE key and indicator
This
“smart” key works in the same way as the
STUDIO
key above.
When on, the control room outputs are attenuated
and the talkback microphone signal is routed to the
eight output busses, the stereo buss and the six aux
busses.
l
T/B volume control
This control adjusts
the level of the signal from the talkback microphone,
fed to the selected outputs (slate or studio).
