3. DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERNAL
MENU
” of this manual.
The channel module is completed with the Channel ON button and the sliding fader.
2.1.1.1. Routing keys.
There are two keys on the top of the channel that routes the channel signal to the
corresponding output bus. Activation is indicated through the integrated LED in each of these
keys, and indicates the creation of a cross point between the input signal on the channel and
the output channel corresponding to the key.
Detail of routing keys
The two keys for direct routing are “
PROGRAM
“ (sending to master 1) and “
AUDITION
“
(sending to master 2). The allocation of physical outputs associated with these signals and the
physical circuits of the inputs/outputs modules on the back of AEQ CAPITOL is accomplished
from the configuration software. For more information, please refer to chapter “
4.
CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
” of this manual.
2.1.1.2. SELECT.
The control surface of AEQ CAPITOL offers the usual controls and indicators for a mixing
console on each channel, but AEQ CAPITOL also offers a wide range of possibilities for routing
and processing, beyond the physical options included in each channel. These possibilities have
been distributed in a logical manner within internal menus accessible from the main screen of
the Control and Monitoring section.
The operation is intuitive, always beginning with pressing the “SELECT” button on the channel
that you want to process and moving to the main screen of the Control and Monitoring section
of the console to accomplish the activations or adjustments. For further details please refer to
chapter 3.4.3.1 of this manual.
2.1.1.3. Channel display.
Each one of the 8 channels on the AEQ CAPITOL integrates a two-colour OLED display
showing:
•
Name of the associated audio signal (maximum 6 characters,
editable via the configuration software). For more information see
chapter “4. CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE” of this manual.
•
Status of balance between left (L) and right signal (R) in stereo
signals (or panoramic for monophonic signals).
2.1.1.4. CUE.
This button allows you to activate a pre-fader listening to the audio channel for monitoring and
control. When activated the integrated LED is lit. It is possible to send the audio signals of
several channels to the CUE bus, acting as a summing bus.
