[. . . ] All other Image control positions generate a composite blend of the stereo and LCR panning systems so that the optimum degree of center image focus and speaker power can be obtained. When the image control and pan control are both set central the channel will be routed with equal power to all three speakers. Constant power is maintained at all times so that the image can be adjusted during the show without any perceived level change. C The ST switch connects the post fader channel signal to the master stereo bus via the pan control. ST l pan r SIS MONO +18 +15 +12 +9 +6 +3 0 -3 -6 -9 -25 The MONO switch connects the post fader channel signal to the mono master bus. The METER monitors the peak signal level of the pre fader input channel. stereo lcr image mute MIDAS HS0001 The MUTE switch mutes the input channel at all points after the insert send. In this mode input solos have priority over outputs and will temporarily override any active output solos. The input solos also override any active VCA solos. 3 4 5 10 20 30 The FADER gives continuous adjustment of the input channel level from + 10dB to off. The STATUS leds are used to show fader positions and the status of VCA and MUTE group assignments. The central controller MODE switches toggle through the four available states:- VCA group assignment, MUTE group assignment, FADER position manual recall and null, and full automated VIRTUAL FADER RECALL. 5 6 7 8 40 9 FADER MANUAL RECALL AND NULL In this mode, the STATUS LEDs are used to prompt the operator where to move the fader. If the fader is not at the position stored in the current recalled snap shot, one/two LEDs will flash to indicate where the fader should be. A single flashing LED indicates that the fader should positioned next to that LED, if two LEDs are flashing the fader should be between the two LEDs. As the fader is moved closer to the required position the LED(s) will stop flashing and will be replaced by a single continuously lit LED. Once the fader is at the correct position all LEDs will extinguish. 50 dB 10 FADER POSITION CHECK When a scene's contents are being "checked" (see automation operation) the STATUS LEDs will indicate the fader position stored in the scene by continuously illuminating one or two LEDs as appropriate. VIRTUAL FADER RECALL When in VIRTUAL FADER mode (see automation operation) the automation system will generate a "virtual" fader, set to the level of the input fader at the time the snap shot was stored. The level of the virtual fader is added to the level of the physical input fader. In this mode the STATUS LEDs indicate the "position" of the virtual fader by illuminating a bar of LEDs starting at - ¥ .

The PAD switch gives 25dB of attenuation in both input signals to allow the connection of high output microphones or line level signals. If the input amplifiers are transformer coupled (option) the pad greatly reduces the risk of saturation at very low frequencies. 48V +25 PAD O O 5k +15 +35 The GAIN control gives continuous adjustment of the input amplifier gains from + 15dB to + 60dB. The PHASE switches activate a 180 degree phase change within the input amplifiers. The upper switch acts on the left channel and the lower switch acts on right channel. The treble FREQ control gives continuous adjustment of the frequency range that the treble equalisers act on from 1k to 20k. The treble BELL switch converts the treble equalisers from traditional MIDAS shelving response to bell filters with a 1. 5 octave bandwidth. The hi mid FREQ control gives continuous adjustment of the frequency range that the hi mid equalisers act on from 400Hz to 8k. The INS switch connects the left and right input insert return signals to the input channel. The insert PRE switch arranges the input channel signals to pass through the insert points before the equalisers when activated and after the insert points when not activated.
