VU and Gain Reduction Metering
Each input fader has two independent 9-segment LED vertical columns
to provide input signal metering. The top column handles pre-fader post/
gain control signal presence VU metering. The lower column handles Gain
Reduction as determined by the dynamics settings for the input channel
strip, and follows the state of the channel’s DYN switch.
Motorized Fader
The fader controls the channel strip’s signal level to all post fader busses.
The nominal unity gain level is at the -12dB mark on the scale. Note that
EVENT recall includes the fader setting.
NOTE that input channels configured for 5.1 sources have fader knobs
engraved with “5.1”.
Bus Assign LED’s
Each input strip has four sets of LED indicators which display the state
of the channels bus assignments. An illuminated LED indicates:
GROUPS – shows which Groups the input is assigned to: 1 through 8.
MSTR – shows which Masters the input is assigned to; 5.1, S1, S2, and
S3.
DCA – shows which DCA masters the input is assigned to: A, B, C, and
D. If lit, the DCA assign LED(s) will flash if the DCA master is turned OFF
or if the DCA master fader reaches a threshold setting of approximately -60.
MXM – shows which MXM the input is subtracted from. An Xpoint GUI
setting, MXM POLARITY, forces the MXM LED logic to flip. In the
flipped state, lit MXM assign LED’s mean that the channel is ADDED to the
MXM mix.
Channel assignments to these busses are made by first pressing the
channel SET button and then pressing the appropriate ASSIGN button on
the MXM-D12 panel.
