Internal Programming Options
There are two user-programmable switches on the CRD-500. One is a
7-position dipswitch, SW1, located on the module’s main PCB slightly
above and to the left of the cue master level control. This sets various cue
interrupt modes (see below).
There is also a single slide switch, located on the back edge of the
module’s piggyback PCB, which selects stereo or mono cue (see below).
For the purposes of this manual, we will assume you are holding the re-
moved module upright, component side towards you, with gold-plated card
fingers to the left and the module faceplate to the right. This will enable you to
read the control legends silkscreened next to each programming switch. Note
when a dipswitch position is thrown to the right (towards the module’s face-
plate) it is ON.
Cue Interrupt
Seven-position dipswitch SW1 determines how the console’s Cue
function will interrupt regular monitor signals:
Dipswitch position 1 sends cue to CR left
Dipswitch position 2 sends cue to CR right
Dipswitch position 3 sends cue to HDPN left*
Dipswitch position 4 sends cue to HDPN right*
Cue Mute
As Cue is also fed to the console’s built-in meterbridge speakers, where
it can easily be picked up by the console operator’s microphone, there is
provision to mute Cue whenever that mic is live (i.e., whenever the control
room mute function is activated).
Dipswitch SW1 position 7 will mute cue whenever CR is muted
(this is the factory default setting)
Mono Cue
Cue is normally a stereo signal; however, mono cue is possible. Simply
throw slide switch SW1 on the piggyback “cue” card in the direction of the
silkscreened arrow (down). This will send a summed L+R cue signal to
both cue left and right signal paths. Note the factory default setting for this
switch is stereo cue.
