Using the mixer
Chapter 3
3.1 Introduction
You can discriminate different areas in the con-
sole: the input channels; the monitoring levels
control, phone hybrid and talk-back (master
2608); and the VU-meters panel.
The audio signals coming from the PC, Satellite,
DAT, Mini-disc, Microphones, etc, enters to the
console through the input channels that amplify
them. You can control all sources levels using the
main faders, and to listen the signals before send
to the air pressing the CUE buttons.
To send a channel on the air, press the AIR but-
ton and open the main fader until reach the de-
sired level. The buses assignments button’s
(PGM, AUD, and SND) sends the channel’s sig-
nals to the Master outs.
Each input section can receive signal of two differ-
ent sources: Microphones or stereo Line. The
source is selected by a switch located at top of the
module. Remember that the modules are doubles:
each module has two faders that manage two in-
puts. Depending of the model this inputs can be:
•
2610 Microphone module manages 2 micro-
phones (MIC) and 2 stereo unbalanced in-
puts (AUX).
•
2612 Microphone module manages 3 micro-
phones with EQ and processing, and 3
stereo auxiliary inputs.
•
2601 Line modules manages 2 balanced
stereo line inputs (LIN) and 2 unbalanced
stereo (AUX.)
•
2602 modules manage two USB digital in-
puts and two analog auxiliary inputs
The 2608 master module manages the monitoring
circuits, Talk-back, and telephone lines.
The turret contains the level meters that show the
program level; and a speaker for CUE.
3.2 Meter bridge
3.2.1 Audio meters
The program level meter has a dual scale :
average level (VU) and peak level (dBfs). The
floating LED displays the signal peak.
The last scale LED (red) has a dual function: if oc-
casionally ligths, ind5 VU in the scale of
average level. But if the level drops and the last
LED is retained (5 seconds), it indicates CLIP-
PING. The fact that the level meter reaches the
full scale does not always mean that digital clip-
ping occurs; only is clipping if the last LED is re-
tained. Take in mind that when vumeter is at full
scale, dBfs peak reading is lost because the
peaks are "covered" by the average level indica-
tion.
The headroom is 15 dB (0 VU = -15 dBfs as AES
recommendation K15).
The 2600XL models also features level indicator
for AUDITION bus while 2600XD models incorpo-
rate meters for the SEND bus.
