User manual MIDAS CONSOLES VENICE

[. . . ] Security regulations as stated in the EN 60065 (VDE 0860) and the CSA E65 - 94 have to be obeyed when servicing the appliance. Use of a mains separator transformer is mandatory during maintenance while the appliance is opened, needs to be operated and is connected to the mains 3. Switch off the power before retrofitting any extensions, changing the mains voltage or the output voltage. The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any accessible metal piece (metal enclosure), respectively between the mains poles has to be 3 mm and needs to be minded at all times. [. . . ] The level adjustment is from + 10dB to off with 0dB at the centre position of the rotary control. The AUX controls give continuous adjustment of the level sent from the input channel to the AUX busses. The level adjustment is from + 10dB to off with 0dB at the centre position of the rotary control. AUX1 and 2 can be configured globally for pre- or post-fader operation by pressing the PRE/POST switch on the appropriate A U X -rail in the master section. The PAN controls the channel placement within the master stereo- or group mix and has a constant power law. - 3dB at the centre position and 0dB or off at either extreme setting. The MUTE switch mutes the input channel at all points after the insert send, including all auxiliary sends. 8 The SOLO switch sends the input channel signal to the PFL / mono-and AFL / stereo busses. If the sw itch is engaged, the mon1/2 meters are automatically used for solo metering. The SIGNAL (-16dBu) / PEAK (+16dBu) display monitors the peak signal level of the pre fader input channel. The FADER gives continuous adjustment of the input channel level from + 10dB to off. The 1-2 switch connects the post fader channel signal to the group 1-2 busses via the pan control. The 3-4 switch connects the post fader channel signal to the group 3-4 busses via the pan control. The MAS switch connects the post fader channel signal to the master stereo bus via the pan control. 9 M IDAS VENICE STEREO INPUT CHANNEL 10 The Venice stereo input channel is equipped with an XLR input which can be used for M ic or Line level signals up to +22dBu. Two additional ¼ inch jack sockets, provide an input for Stereo- or Mono Line level signals up to +28dBu. The stereo channel features the same hi-value m icrophone pre-amp as the mono channel. Because the stereo input channel uses independet circuits for M ic and Stereo Line , it is possible to have all inputs connected at the s a m e t i m e , w i t h o u t i n t e r f erence. The +48V switch for each channel is positioned at the rear panel of the console. This is suitable for a condenser m icrophone or DI box. The M IC GAIN control gives continuous adjustment of the input amplifier gain from 0dB to + 60dB for the M ic input. The HI PASS switch connects the the 80Hz hi-pass-filter in the input channel signal path right after the m ic input amplifier. The LINE TRIM control gives continuous adjustment of the stereo input amplifier gain from 20dB to + 20dB for the Stereo Line input. The HI MID control gives continuous adjustment of boost and cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a 0dB centre detent. The HI M ID equaliser acts on 3kHz with a 1. 4 octaves bandwith. The TREBLE control gives continuous adjustment of boost and cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a 0dB centre detent. The treble equaliser acts on 12kHz with a traditional M IDAS shelving response. The BASS control gives continuous adjustment of boost and cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a 0dB centre detent. The bass equaliser acts on 80Hz with a traditional M IDAS shelving response. The LO MID control gives continuous adjustment of boost and cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a 0dB centre detent. -3dB at the centre position and 0dB or off at either extreme setting. The SOLO switch sends the group signal to the PFL / mono and AFL / stereo busses. If the switch is engaged the mon 1/2 meters are automatically used for solo metering The MAS switch connects the post fader group signals to the stereo master bus via the pan control. The SIGNAL (-16dBu) PEAK (+16dBu) display monitors the signal level of the group bus. The GROUP faders give continuous adjstment of the sub group output levels from +10dB to off. 15 The FX SEND control gives continuous adjustm e n t of the FX send output level from +10dB to off with 0dB at the centre position of the rotary control. The M O N controls give continuous adjustment of the pre- fader signal sent from the FXreturn channel to the MON busses. The level adjustment is from + 10dB to off with 0dB at the centre position of the rotary control. The 1-2 switch connects the post fader FX- return left signal to the group 1 bus and right signal to the group 2 bus. The 3-4 switch connects the post fader FX- return left signal to the group 3 bus and right signal to the group 4 bus. The MUTE switch mutes the FXreturn at all pointes. The M A S switch connects the post fader FX- return stereo signal to the stereo master bus. The SOLO switch sends the FXreturn signal to the PFL / mono and AFL / stereo busses. If the switch is engaged the mon 1/2 meters are automatically used for solo metering The FADER gives continous adjustment of the FX- return level from +10dB to off. 16 T h e M U T E s w itch mutes the monitor send output signal. [. . . ] For modification you need a Torx screwdriver type T20 (fig. 1) and Phillips screwdrivers type Ph1 (fig. 4 with the Torx screwdriver and remove the two plastic side covers and the armrest. Attention: If you wish to rotate the connection panel in addition to the rack bracket mounting (fig. Loosen the 8 screws fastening the cover sheet and the connection panel on the sides of the unit (fig. [. . . ]
