RETURN SECTION B
RET/BUS
This switch selects the input to the return section with its EQ. In the
RET position, the input comes from the normal return input, is fed
via the EQ, ON switch and PAN to the stereo mix. In the Bus
position, the signal is taken from the group output, and fed as above
to the stereo mix.
In the PA mode Pdescribed below) RET allows the return input to
be used as an effects return with EQ. Selection of Bus sends the
Return B input direct to its own group bus as an extender input to
mix buses, and sends the group bus signal to mix with EQ, to use as
an EQíd sub-group to the mix with an auxiliary send.
If the console is being used for recording, this switch allows A/B
monitoring of the tape send and track return signals. If the PA/
RECORDING switch is set to Recording, the metering will follow
the selection of Return or Bus on the input of the return section.
EQUALISER
The two band equaliser fe/- 15dB of gain at 8kHz PHF),
and 60Hz PLF), with a shelving characteristic on each band.
AUX 1
The return signal PB) can be fed to the Aux 1 bus via this level
control, allowing the tape return signal to be fed to an external
processing device or artist headphone monitoring system. The
signal feed is taken pre- the level control, and is therefore
unaffected by the position of the return level pot.
PAN
Positions the return signal within the stereo image, with a 4.5dB
relative drop in the centre.
