Channel Meters/
Master Meters
Eight Bargraph Meters are situated above each Channel
Bin. Another eight multi-function Bargraphs, and the
two Main Output VU Meters are situated in the Master
Section Meterbridge.
A further eight VU Meters, which meter the Group
Outputs, can be located in the Meterbridges adjacent to
the Master Section.
The signals that are currently being metered are
indicated by one of the five LEDs situated in the centre of
the bargraphs. Further, two seven segment LEDs directly
below each bargraph indicate which signal each is
metering. See the Master Metering and Channel Metering
sections for details.
The top row of buttons consist of Channel Meter buttons,
directly below are the Master Meter buttons. These
control all Bargraph and VU meters. All buttons are
recallable.
Channel Meter Controls
The following metering options effect all Channel Meters.
CH - Meter Channel Path inputs.
MOn - Meter Monitor Path outputs.
DIr - Meter Direct Outputs.
If FaDers is selected, the Bargraph Meters will display
the level of the faders.
Vu / PeaK toggles between VU metering or Peak
Program Metering. In PPM mode, the top 4 LEDs are
brighter to indicate proximity to clipping. In VU mode, the
top 8 LEDs are brighter.
Master Meter Controls
The following metering options effect the Master Section
Meters.
sT - Meter (in this order) Main Outputs, Monitor Outputs,
Control Room Outputs and AFL Outputs. Labeling under
the Meters will read: L, r, .L, .r, CL, Cr, AL, Ar.
GrP - Meter the Group Outputs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
auX/PFl - Meter the Auxiliary Master levels and the PFL
Outputs: A1, A2, A3, AL, Ar, bL, br, PF.
reV reT - Meter the four stereo Reverb Returns: 1L, 1r,
2L, 2r, 3L, 3r, 4L, 4r.
Vu Meters - The two VU Meters in the Master Section
Meterbridge display the level at the Retro/Modern Mix
Outputs.
Console/Channel
Modes
Depending on the application at hand, say for example
recording as opposed to mixdown, the Console Modes
section will change the global state of the console to
reflect the most appropriate setup.
The top row consists of Console Modes buttons, directly
below are the Channel Modes buttons.
To prevent the console from being accidentally reset
mid-session, the following functions must be held for
1 second.
This section details the two global functions, Channel
Input (CH InPuT) and Monitor Input (MOn InPuT).
Each of the above buttons must be held for one second
before the function is executed. This is called the Hold
function and, for reasons about to be revealed, allow you
to re-think your decision before committing.
The following operations will effect all modules.
CHan InPuT - Cycles through the four Channel path
input options (Mic, DI, DAW and Line).
MOn InPuT - Switches between the two Monitor path
input options (DAW and Line).
Note: Be careful when cycling through Channel Modes.
If the console is in Record Mode and the CHAN INPUT
button is cycled to select 'DAW' when the DAW is armed,
a feedback loop will exist. Take a moment to think
about the result of different Channel and Console Mode
combinations.
Pan - Activates the Pan control on all Channels.
