- When the spacial imaging system is active the IMAGE control can modify the action

of the pan control so as to place the channel within a three speaker system. When the image
control is fully clockwise the pan control will operate in full left, centre, right such that a
centre panned signal will route to the centre speaker only and will not appear in either of the
left or right outputs. When the image control is fully anti-clockwise the pan control reverts to
stereo such that a centre panned signal will route at equal power to the left and right
speakers. All other Image control positions generate a composite blend of the stereo and LCR
panning systems so that the optimum degree of center image focus and speaker power can
be obtained. When the image control and pan control are both set central the channel will be
routed with equal power to all three speakers. Constant power is maintained at all times so
that the image can be adjusted during the show without any perceived level change.

- The MUTE switch mutes the input channel at all points after the insert send (i.e. all

aux, buss sends etc..). The switch can also be controlled from snapshot automation.

- The input channel signal can be monitored with the in-line channel

meter which is pre-fader and post insert and EQ.

The input fader panel can be used as a conventional channel fader or as part of the
automation system.

switches disable any remote control over the channel as selected:

- The channel mute will not be affected by automute or snapshot automation

- The channel fader will not be affected by virtual fader automation or the VCA

master fader (including VCA mutes).

- The channel will not be affected by snapshot automation. Automutes, VCA

masters and assignment systems will remain active.

- The set switch is a momentary switch that toggles the VCA and mute assignments for

the channel.

In the central console, either mute or VCA operation can be selected. Then using the assign
keys, the appropriate VCA or automute can be selected. Pressing the channel set switch for
more than half a second will erase the existing VCA or automute assignments and then
accept the new ones. A quick press will simply toggle the new settings.

i.e. If the channel is assigned to VCA 1,3 and 4 and the assign keys are then set to 1 and 2
and the channel set button is pressed quickly. The resulting VCA assignment for the channel
would be VCA’s 2,3 and 4.

When setting mute or VCA assignments, the current assignment will be shown in the ten
(10) LED’s adjacent to the fader.

- The SOLO switch sends the input channel signal to the PFL mono and AFL stereo

busses. If the switch is pressed for a short time it will latch on or off, but if it is held on for
more than 1 second the latching is disabled and when the switch is released the channel
solo will turn off. As a default the solo system is auto cancelling so each new solo cancels the
last. This function is time dependant which allows several solos to be active as long as they
are switched on at approximately the same time. The SOLO ADD MODE switch on the
MONITOR module defeats the auto cancelling and allows multiple channel monitoring. In
this mode input solos have priority over outputs and will temporarily override any active
output solos. The input solos also override any active VCA solos.

The

function varies according to the virtual fader setting. Normally, the fader gives

continuous adjustment of the input channel level from off (-inf) to +10dB.

In Virtual fader mode, the ‘real’ fader is used to trim the ‘virtual’ fader shown on the fader LEDs. When taken to
0dB the fader trims the virtual fader level (i.e. at 0dB the channel level is that of the virtual fader snapshot
memory but can be trimmed to +10dB or down to -inf).

In addition to showing VCA and mute assignments, the ten (10) LED’s adjacent to the channel fader perform a
number of different operations depending upon the settings on the central console.
