Master Panel (MSTR-D12)
Controls and Functions
The D-12 digital audio control surface is equipped
with one MASTER panel. This panel houses four
MASTER program outputs, four DCA outputs,
CHANNEL PAGING buttons, the master PFL-AFL
CLEAR button, and four MONITOR mode buttons.
Masters Section
Each master mix, 5.1, S1, S2, and S3, has SET,
ON, DYN, and EQ assign switches, and a DCA
assign display.
NOTE: There are four different mix destinations: Sur-
round (5.1), Stereo 1 (S1), Stereo 2 (S2) and Stereo 3 (S3).
For descriptive purposes we will be discussing the controls
for one section only, 5.1 Surround, with occasional refer-
ences to other sections. Control descriptions for one section
also apply to identical controls at the other three destina-
tions on the MSTR-D12 panel.
Mix Destination 5.1 Surround
Input channels are assigned to the 5.1 Surround
master by means of BUS ASSIGN button “5.1”
(MASTER ASSIGN section on the MXM-D12 panel).
Mono input sources
would pan between the
left front and right front.
Stereo inputs would
route to left front/right
front.
Mono and stereo in-
puts may be processed
into 5.1 Surround signals
by means of the 5.1 SUR-
ROUND section on the SUR-D12 panel. 5.1
input sources would preferably route to the SURROUND output unmodi-
fied. Groups may also be routed to the masters (including the 5.1).
Master Mix Destinations
Press a master’s SET switch to access centralized controls associated
with the master. Central controls include MODE, EQ, Dynamics, Test Tone
assign, and Routing. The 5.1 master may be in Surround mode only. Stereo
masters S1, S2, and S3 may be in STEREO, LEFT, RIGHT, or MONO
modes.
