L-R FADERS
- Individual 100mm faders adjust the main L-R mix level with
+10dB boost available above the nominal ‘0’ position. For best
performance the faders should be operated around the ‘0’ position for
normal ‘loud’ level. If you find yourself operating significantly below ‘0’
then the amplifier or recorder input is too sensitive for the c4dBu
output. Simply turn down the amplifier or recorder level trim. If none is
available then insert an attenuator pad between the console and
connected equipment.

MONO
- Sums L+R mix to produce a mono signal. Output is on a
balanced XLR for long cable runs. A
MODE SWITCH
allows the signal to
be switched from the mono sum to
AFL/PFL
. This switch is recessed to
avoid accidental operation. Use a pointed object or pen tip to operate.
When switched to
L-R MONO SUM,
the MONO output provides for a
centre fill or sub-bass loudspeaker, mono recording or broadcast feed.
When switched to
AFL/PFL
, you can feed a stage monitor engineer’s
listen wedge.

Four
stereo returns
ST1 - 4
are provided giving you a total of 26 inputs to
the L-R mix. These are normally used for returning the processed signal
from effects devices. They can also be used for additional submix inputs.
The
AUX
control feeds the summed left and right signal to the
corresponding aux bus. This is ideal for returning effects to the monitors
without using up valuable channel inputs. The L-R level control feeds the
stereo signal to the L-R mix.

Use stereo headphones with a nominal impedance of 30 to 600 ohms.
Adjust the
LEV
control for a comfortable listening level. The phones and
the 12 segment bargraph normally meter the post fade L-R mix or the two
track return depending on the position of the
L-R/2TRK
switch. Pressing
any
AFL/PFL
button on the console will override the monitor with the
selected AFL/PFL signal. A large red LED located below the meters
indicates when a
PFL/AFL
switch has been pressed when illuminated.

The two track send and return controls are provided for a stereo recorder
such as a cassette or DAT machine. The
SEND
may be used for
recording the performance in stereo or to drive an induction loop hearing
aid system. The send outputs are post L-R fader as standard. Press
L-R
REPLAY
to route the replay signal to the L-R mix. Separate send and
return level controls adjust the signal to the required level and sensitivity.
The console can work with both high (+4dBu) and low (-10dBV) level
equipment.
