Dimmer and mute control connections
A remote box for mute (
MUTE ALL
) and dimmer
control may be made up and used so that the control
of these functions can be carried out from a location
in the listening environment other than the main mix-
ing location.
Use non-latching push-to-make switches wired to a
common sleeve ground with the dimmer wired to
ring, and the mute to the tip of a standard 3.5 mm ste-
reo plug. The detection of the change in level, rather
than the open/closed status of the switch triggers the
change in the unit’s status.
A remote box fitted with these switches can operated
alongside the appropriate front panel switches (it
does not replace them).
See “Dimmer level” on page 17, “Dimming the out-
put” on page 21 and “Muting all the channels” on
page 21.
