MASTER SECTION

31 BARGRAPH 

METERS

Six 12-segment, three colour bargraph meters provide visual monitoring of the

levels of the Mix Left and Right, and Group outputs.  All the meters are peak read-

ing.

Normally the Left and Right meters show the level of the Mix Left and Right

outputs.  If any PFL or AFL switch is activated the meters are switched to  display
the level of the selected PFL or AFL signal.  

32 MIX FADERS

The MIX FADERS set the final level of the Mix outputs.  The faders should nor-

mally be set close to the ‘0’ mark if the input channel levels have been set correct-

ly.

Pre-fade INSERTS are provided for connection of external processing equip-

ment (e.g. Graphic EQ) if required.

33 MATRIX SENDS

The console is provided with two independent Matrix outputs A & B, which

may receive feeds from each Group or Mix Left and Right to create additional
mixes for extra speaker outputs (e.g. side fills or delays) without affecting the main
mix.  These knobs control the level of the Mix signal sent to Matrix A & B buses.
They should be turned fully anticlockwise when not required.

Normally the Matrix Sends are derived from a mono sum of Mix L & R.

Pressing the STEREO switch routes Mix L to Matrix A and Mix R to Matrix B to
allow the Matrix outputs to be used as a separate stereo output from the console.

34 MATRIX MASTERS

Each Matrix section has a MASTER control which sets the final output level.  
When the AFL switch is pressed, the post-fade signal is fed to the headphones

and L & R meters, where it replaces the normal Mix L/R signal.  The PFL/AFL ON
LED on the master section illuminates to warn that the headphones and the

meters are now responding to the PFL/AFL selection and the PFL LED on the
input channel lights to identify the active Matrix output.  This is a useful way of lis-
tening to any required output signal without interrupting the main mix, for making
adjustments or tracing problems.

35 TALKBACK

An XLR connector is provided to accept the input from a local talkback mic or

gooseneck mic.  Gain is set by the TB LEVEL control and the signal may be routed
to a choice of AUX 1-2, AUX 3-4, MIX or GROUP buses using the four adjacent
switches.

36 POWER ON LEDS

Two LEDs monitor the status of the console power supply and will be illumi-

nated when power is connected.  Check that both LEDs are lit after turning on the
console power supply.
