88 Outboard Series / 8804 Fader pack
Issue 2.7
Cut/Solo Master Switch
The Cut/Solo switch on the upper right of the 8804 sets the mode of the Cut/
Solo channel switches.
•
When the Master switch is illuminated yellow the channel buttons are in
Solo
mode.
•
When the switch is unlit all channel switches are in
Mute
mode (left).
Direct Outputs
The 8804 provides balanced Direct Outputs from each of the 16 channels.
These can be used for recording or as sends to effects units and processors.
The Direct Outputs can be set
Pre-
or
Post-
faders within the Recall
software.
If a channel Direct Output is set to post-fader, the user can select whether
this Direct Output will be muted by the
Cut
/
Solo
switch.
Please see the separate Recall Manual for how to set up the Direct Outputs as
Pre- or Post- Fader.
The Direct Output balanced circuits will be on either on a 50 pin D-type
connector, or on two 25-way D-type connectors on the rear of the 8804.
Please refer to page 16 for Direct Output wiring pin outs.
Auxiliary Send
With the levels controlled from the 8804 faders, the rotary level control on
the 8816 is available to use as an auxiliary pre-fade send level control.
The output appears on Circuit 4 of Connector 3 on the 8816.
Please see the 8816 User Manual for details of this connector.
Recall
Setting Up
Connect the 8804 and 8816 units to the PC (or Mac) via USB cables.
Ensure that both of the 8804 and 8816 units have been set to the same
state, [
M
(Master) or
S
(Slave)], using the Recall Setting switch on the back
of each unit.
With the 8816 unit and 8804 connected to the PC (or Mac), start the Neve
Recall software.
The
Cut
/
Solo
switches are automatically synchronised between the two
units, therefore both units reflect the same Cut or Solo state as each other.
In the default set-up mode the 8816 becomes the control unit for mutes
during Recall, this can be switched to the 8804.
Please see the Recall manual for more information.
