Control Details
General Fader Controls
Although any Element faders can handle any type of
audio source, some fader functions change their
behavior depending upon the type of source as-
signed. Also, certain fader modules have “extra”
controls for specific uses. The controls found on
the Element 4-Fader Line Module (Figure 5-1)
are common to all Element modules, so we’ll look
at these first.

OPTIONS
The 10 character alpha display shows the
source presently assigned to this channel. If the
fader’s
Options
button is pressed and the opera-
tor changes sources, this display changes too.
If a channel is ON and the operator changes
its source, the display will flash between the
source currently on-air and the newly selected
source. The fader will not “take” the new source
until the operator has turned the channel off, pre-
venting on-air errors. If a Show Profile is loaded
that specifies an unavailable source, the display
reads
Requested source not found
.
Just above the alpha display is a Status Symbol
display. This display indicates the fader’s channel
number or presents a Status Symbol to indicate
when backfeed or talkback is active.

Channel Options Key
Pressing this key activates the
Channel Op-
tions
keys located on Element’s Master Module.
Refer to the sections on Monitor Module controls
later in this chapter for detailed functions.
New in version 2.1 is an A/B switch function.
This function enables operators to quickly toggle
through sources available to any particular fader
by holding the Options key and pressing the OFF key.
Each time the OFF key is pressed, the fader will take the
next source from that fader’s list of available sources.
•
PGM-1, -2 & -3 Keys
Each channel is assigned to any of the three main
output buses by selecting any (or all) of these program
keys. Generally, PGM-1 is the main air bus and
other buses are used for production or other pro-
gramming requirements. All program outputs are
post-fader and post on-off function.
•
PGM-4 / Record / Phone Bus Key
The fourth bus functions as a regular output
bus, but any sources feeding PGM-4 are also sent
to a special
Record
bus that feeds a dedicated
recording device, as well as to the
Phone
bus
that sends mix-minus audio to any phone callers.
These buses operate independently but simultane-
ously, allowing jocks plenty of operational flex-
ibility.
PGM-4
bus audio output is post-fader, post-
on/off;
PGM-4 Record
bus audio output is post-
fader, pre-on/off, and
Phone
bus audio is sent to
callers pre-fader, pre-on/off.
•
Talkback Key
Each fader is equipped with a
Talkback
key,
located between the bottom of the fader and the
channel
ON/OFF
keys. If the source assigned to a
fader is has an associated backfeed, pressing this
key will allow the board operator to communicate
with the person at the other end of the backfeed;
the fader’s Status Symbol display will change to
show that Talkback is active.
Multiple
Talkback
keys can be selected to
talk to more than one source at a time.
Auto-Talkback: If a source’s Backfeed mode
is set to “Auto”, the caller or remote talent
will hear PGM-1 minus himself (mix-minus)
whenever the fader he’s assigned to is ON,
and will have his Talkback channel automati-
cally activated when the channel is turned OFF.
See Chapter 3: “Configuring Sources” for more
information on configuring backfeeds.
