MXM-D12 Panel
DCA Master Section
The DCA (Digitally Controlled Amplifier) faders allow the
user to control a cluster of Input, Sub-
group, and Master faders from a single
DCA fader and ON switch. Faders
assigned to a DCA will track the
position of the DCA master. If an
input or output is “muted” by a DCA
master then the corresponding DCA
assign LED (A, B, C, or D) flashes to
indicate the DCA has control.
To assign a DCA to an input, sub-
group or master, place the input, sub-
group or master channel in the SET
MODE and press any combination of the DCA ASSIGN buttons
on the MXM-D12 panel. The appropriate DCA display cluster on
the input, sub-group, or master panel, will be illuminated, as well
as the assign buttons.
DCA ON
The ON switch turns the DCA master ON; faders assigned to
the master will also be turned ON.
FADER
A long-throw fader controls the relative fader level of all
inputs, groups, and masters assigned to DCA. The fader range is
0dB (no attenuation) at the top to full attenuation (OFF) at the
bottom. When a DCA master is full OFF the ON LEDs remain lit on the
cluster.
Clear PFL/AFL
When any PFL (Cue) or AFL (Solo) button on the control surface
is pressed, its light will be illuminated and flash slowly. The PFL/AFL
CLEAR button will also flash synchronously with any active PFL/AFL
buttons. Any signal can be released from cue/solo by pressing its
individual PFL/AFL button a second time. All PFL/AFL activated
buttons can be cleared at once by pressing the PFL/AFL CLEAR
button.
