IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE AVIS: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE. NE PAS OUVRIR These symbols are internationally accepted symbols that warn of potential hazards with electrical products. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] Again the top socket is used for the odd numbered output while the lower socket is used for the even number output. IN 1 OUT IN 2 OUT matrix module The direct input is connected to the matrix by a single balanced female XLR socket. The matrix direct inputs do not have level control and are connected to the matrix buss at unity. The intention being that matrix direct inputs should be used for console linking or similar operation. +21+ +18+ +15+ +12+ +9+ +6+ +3+ 0 -3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-36- Matrix Module The HS0041 matrix module provides control for four (4) matrix outputs per module. For this reason, the upper and lower parts of the matrix module are duplicated to allow control over all four matrix outputs per module. Ergo, we will consider only one pair of meters and controls per module. +21+ +18+ +15+ +12+ +9+ +6+ +3+ 0 -3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-36- +21+ +18+ +15+ +12+ +9+ +6+ +3+ 0 -3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-36- Meters - The LED bargraph (post-fader) output level from the matrix. meter monitors the peak masters control VCA TALK INS VCA TALK INS masters control VCA TALK INS VCA TALK INS VCA - When depressed, the matrix output is assigned to VCA control from the master fader so that the matrix output tracks changes in the master output. mute mute SAFE SOLO SAFE Talk - When depressed, the matrix output is connected to the monitor module talk buss so that the talk mic, generator or external talk input may be routed to the matrix. INS - When depressed, the matrix insert is enabled and the insert return is routed to the matrix signal path. Safe - The safe switch removes the matrix mute from automation system control. Solo (split) - The solo split switch changes the matrix AFL solos from mono to stereo. Solo - The matrix solo switch sends the matrix signal to the AFL stereo and PFL mono busses and obeys the normal console solo behaviour. In solo add mode, input channels will take priority over matrix solos. Fader - The matrix fader allows the continuous adjustment of the matrix output levels from off (-inf) to +10dB. split solo solo 10 5 0 5 10 20 30 40 mute mute SAFE SOLO SAFE split dB 3-4 solo masters control VCA TALK INS VCA TALK INS solo 10 5 0 mute mute SAFE SOLO SAFE split 5 10 20 30 40 solo solo 10 5 0 5 10 20 30 40 dB dB matrix MIDAS XL0041 XL0041 matrix MIDAS Operators Manual- Page 29 Master Output Module Operators Manual- Page 30 Master Outputs MASTER R M L R MASTER M L RETURN SEND RETURN SEND RETURN SEND The Heritage 4000 main outputs are located on the rear of the console. Six (6) male XLR sockets conventionally wired are provided - two (2) each for Left, Right and Mono (centre).

In this mode, when a solo is made on the console all other channels are muted. Individual channels can be protected from this by enabling their channel mute safes. p l a c e direct inputs 0 0 +10 +10 level PRE insert MUTE SOLO left sum right level PRE insert MUTE SOLO 0 1 Direct Inputs direct inputs 0 0 +10 +10 +6 left sum right 2 0 +6 left sum right 3 0 +6 left sum right 4 0 Direct Input - The direct input level is continuously variable from off (-inf) to +10dB. The left and right direct inputs are summed into the left and right master signals (respectively) and can be used for effects returns, console linking, etc. . . The master mono also has a direct input which is intended for console linking only. Pre (insert) - When depressed, the direct input is combined with the main signal before the insert points. Otherwise, the direct input is combined with the main signal after the insert point return. Mute - When depressed, the direct input is muted from the master channel at all points. Solo - When pressed, the direct input is sent to the stereo AFL and the mono PFL busses and obeys the console's standard solo behaviour. When the console is in solo ADD mode, input channels take priority over this solo. [. . . ] When linked only one console can be the master at any one time, all other linked consoles are slaves. The following functions are linked: Master VCA Control Master AutoMute Control VCA Master Solo Solo in Place Mode Scene Storage and Recall (See attached Note 1) Mode Switches Automation Assignment Keys Solo On Solo Clear (See Note 2) Operators Manual- Page 51 Automation and Linking Note 1 All scene memory information remains local to the console so when saving or loading memories to or from the console by either computer file or midi sysex dump, each console must be done individually. When setting up a multiple console system it is recommended that programming is done from the start with all consoles linked. This is to avoid recalling a scene that does not exist on a slave console. [. . . ]
