lower the level of the voices, you raise or lower also the
effect level.
7. AUX RET SOLO
The SOLO function allows you to hear the AUX RETURNS'
signal through your headphones or monitors and to display
its level on the main METERS in AFL mode.
8. DFX to AUX (only rd204fx)
These control the level of the built-in effect DFX to the AUX
SENDS 1&2, allowing the effect to be heard, if needed, also
through the stage monitors.
9. LEFT-RIGHT
Use these switches to assign the GROUP signal to LEFT and
RIGHT outputs of the MAIN MIX.
NOTE: if you assign the even groups to the MIX LEFT
and the odd groups to the MIX RIGHT, the channel's PAN
control will ‘pan’ the signal between the MIX LEFT and
RIGHT. If you assign one group both to the MIX LEFT
and RIGHT, the group signal will be heard in mono from
the MAIN MIX and the channel's PAN control will act only
on the assignment to the even group (fully counter-
clockwise) or the odd group (fully clockwise).
10. GROUP 1-4
These 60mm faders control the level of the GROUPS 1-4.
11. MAIN MIX
These 60mm faders control the level of the MAIN MIX.
12. LEVEL METERS
12-LED METERS for the visualization of the MAIN MIX and
SOLO signal.
The LEDs are of three different colors:
•
green = show the normal operative level of the signal
(from -30dB to -2dB);
•
yellow = show the nominal operative level of the signal
(0 dB);
•
red = show a high signal level (from +2dB to CLIP).
IMPORTANT: the use of the METERS depends on which
signal they display.
- SOLO PFL: when the METERS are used to display the
channel's INPUT SIGNAL (PFL SOLO), we suggest to keep
the level around 0dB and to not go higher than +4dB.
- SOLO AFL / MAIN MIX: when the METERS are used to
display the AFL SOLO signal or the MAIN MIX signal,
thanks to the rd204's wide dynamic range, you can
reach levels up to +10dB with no problem. However, for
the best results we suggest to keep the peaks between
+2dB and +7dB.
13. SOLO MODE
Allows to select if the listening and the visualization of the
channels selected with the SOLO buttons are PRE-FADER
(PFL) or AFTER-FADER (AFL).
a) PFL (PRE-FADER LISTEN) : the channels' input signal is
derived after the EQ section and before the fader. The PFL
mode is used for setting the correct input level (usually
around 0dB).
b)
AFL (AFTER-FADER LISTEN) : the signal of the input
channels, the AUX sends and the AUX returns is derived
after the fader control. The AFL mode can be used to
display or listen the signal that is actually sent to the MAIN
MIX or to the AUX outputs.
14. SOLO ACTIVE
This LED indicates that the one or more SOLO button have
been activated. When this LED is on, the METERS indicates
the level of the signal of the selected channel or mixer
section in AFL mode.
15. LEVEL SET
This LED lights when one or more SOLO button are pressed
and the PFL mode is selected. This is the typical SOLO mode
used to set the input level of the channels.
16. 2-TRACK TO MIX
This button assigns the signal coming from the 2-TRACK
input to the MAIN MIX.
17. PHONES
Level control for the headphones output. The HEADPHONES
signal is the same displayed on the LEVEL METERS and sent
to the CONTROL ROOM output.
- When no SOLO button is pressed, you can assign to the
PHONES outputs the MAIN MIX, the GROUPS 1-2 or the
GROUPS 3-4.
- When one or more SOLO buttons are pressed, you can
listen the signal of the selected channels or sections (in PFL
or AFL mode, according to the SOLO MODE selection).
18. CONTROL ROOM
This controls the CONTROL ROOM output's level. The signal
at this output is the same as at the headphones output. It
can be used to monitor the signal of the soloed channels or
as an additional mix output.
19. PHONE / C.ROOM SOURCE
Buttons for assigning the signal to the HEADPHONES and
CONTROL ROOM outputs and to the LED meter.
20. STEREO GRAPHIC EQ
rd204 features a stereo 9-band graphic EQ on the MAIN MIX
outputs. The GRAPHIC EQ can be used to modify the overall
mixer frequency response, in order to control the tone of
the main sound system and/or the recording. The seven
mini-sliders give 12dB boost or cut.
21. EQ BYPASS
Use this button to turn temporarily off the graphic EQ: this
feature is very useful when you want to compare the effect
of the equalization with the previous situation.
