Figure 3-2. Dual Fader Panel
Dual Fader Panel Quick Guide
Each Dual Fader panel (Figure 3-2) has two channel strips for
independent control of two audio signals. Each channel typically
has two sources (A and B) that are board-operator selected. The
A and B labels are normally replaced by custom labels to identify
the input signal by name. The A and B labels light up to indicate
which source is active on that fader channel.
Bus Assignment Section
Program 1,2,3,4 – When any combination of buttons is lit, the
channel is turned on, and the fader is potted up (typically to the
red line indication), the source audio is applied to the lit Program
buses.
Offline – When lit, routes the source audio, the pre-on/off switch,
and typically pre-fader to the Offline bus, a special bus used only
for callers and remotes.
Note: When a Telco source is assigned to a fader, one assignment
button winks, indicating that bus is assigned to be the
Telco mix-minus base mix and to go to the Telco’s record
bus. The Telco/Codec Operation subsection gives details.
Fader Control Section
A/UP and B/DN – The lit button indicates the active source,
along with the lit A or B label in the Channel Display. To change
the source, press the unlit source button (TAKE blinks), and then
press Take while it is blinking.
Take – Switches the input source (A to B or B to A) when
pressed while blinking. If pressed while the channel is on, Take
forces the channel off and changes the source.
Fader – 100 mm channel level control with dB indications to
show relative attenuation. For unity gain, set the fader to the red
line (-12 dB). A n4 dBu analog input signal then appears
as a -20 dBFS (equivalent 0 VU) signal on the meters.
Cue – When lit, routes the source audio, pre-fader, and pre-
switch to the cue speaker without affecting the on-air signal. On
CR MIC channels, the cue button is momentary and the signal
only feeds the Aux meter. On line inputs, cue toggles on and off.
Cue feeds the cue speaker and, when AutoCue is lit on the
Monitor panel, also feeds the operator headphones. Cue levels
also typically appear on the Aux meter while active.
On – Press to turn the channel on. The button lights, sending the audio to the selected Program buses. Logic
control commands may also be initiated, depending upon the logic settings for that source.
Off – Press to turn the channel off and remove the audio from all selected buses (except for Offline, if
selected). The button may not light on peripheral devices when the source is set to respond to ready
commands to indicate its status. Logic control commands may also be initiated, depending upon the logic
settings for that source.
Talkback – On Telco channels, pressing the lit On or Off button routes the CR talk mics to that Telco’s mix-
minus IFB output. The lit button blinks rapidly while talk is active, as do the talk mic channel buttons. If a CR
talk mic channel is on, it is muted from all buses while talking.
