CH1-CH4 ROTARY FADER
-
Each channel has a large ROTARY FADER for
precision control of its level when mixing. The rotary ranges from fully off when
anti-clockwise to unity gain (0dB) when clockwise. For best performance
operate these controls near to their fully clockwise position for normal music
level.
VU METERS – The Radius 4 features four high quality analogue VU (Volume
Unit) meters, which accurately measure the left and right audio signals. The
meters show the post EQ sound level. An added feature of the VU Meters is that
when driven over +6VU the meter will illuminate RED to warn against clipping.
In SPLIT MODE the LEFT VU Meter indicates the cue signal level, and the RIGHT
VU Meter indicates the MIX level, (see SPLIT below).
MASTER EQ/ISOLATOR - The MASTER EQ/ISOLATOR functions as a normal
isolator using 12dB/octave filters, with crossover frequencies at 350Hz and
3.5kHz making for a very musical isolator. We have positioned the layout of the
pots so it easily works as a Master EQ (the hi-pass filters on each channel are
used instead of a conventional 3 or 4 band EQ).
MASTER – The MASTER rotary pot adjusts the signal level sent to the Main
Output XLRs (House Mix) ranging from off to +10dBu of gain. Set the control to
approximately 1 o’clock for unity.
BOOTH
– The BOOTH rotary pot adjusts the signal level sent to the Booth Output
TRS Jacks (Monitor Mix) ranging from off to +10dBu of gain. Set the control to
approximately 1 o’clock for unity.
SPLIT – The SPLIT CUE button illuminates RED when activated and links to the
CUE buttons and VU Meters. When the SPLIT CUE is active and a channel CUE is
pressed, the Mix Buss Level will be shown on the Right Meter, and the channel
Pre-Fade signal (CUE) shown on the Left Meter, enabling you to balance the two
levels for smoother mixing. The Split button also sends the cued source to the
Left headphone and the mix source to the Right headphone, which is very useful
if mixing in a quiet environment. SPLIT CUE is automatically disabled when the
Channel CUEs are off, and the Meters and Headphones revert to monitoring the
Stereo Master Mix Signal.
PHONES
– Use the headphone pot to control the sound level sent to your
headphones. Please take care when monitoring with headphones as excessive
sound volumes can cause premature deafness. The ¼” jack headphone input is
located on the front of the mixer as shown on the headphone graphic.
