[. . . ] This switch is part of the solo clear/ intercancel system, but not the SIP system. Metering Meter outputs are available post-fade & post-cut on each matrix output, for connection to the optional VU meterbridge. 4. 16 Functional Description Rear Connectors Matrix Outputs (3 pin male XLR) Pin 1 Ground Pin 2 Signal Hot Pin 3 Signal Cold External Inputs (1/4" TSR jack) Tip Signal Hot Ring Signal Cold Sleeve Ground Functional Description 4. 17 0DVWHU0RGXOH 5 5 The double width master module, typically situated near the right hand side of the console, contains the stereo mix output, the operator's headphones and wedge speaker outputs, a noise or sine wave test oscillator, the solo mode controls and master solo clear function, internal/external talkback functions, master mute switches and PSU status indicator LEDs. Main outputs 8 7 1 The Stereo Mix Left and Right signals are controlled by the L and R 100mm-travel Faders. The left and right outputs are electronically balanced and appear on male XLR connectors on the rear panel. The mix left and right insert points are pre-fade using a ground compensated send and balanced return. The send and return appear on separate 1/4" jacks on the rear panel. The Right master fader can be switched, via a switch which is accessible via the hole marked FADER MODE, to control the output level of the mono bus signal ( also unity gain at the top). The mono output is electronically balanced and appears on an XLR on the rear panel. The mono insert point is ground compensated send and balanced return, and send and return appear as separate 1/4" jacks on the rear panel. When the fader mode switch is set so the mono output is being controlled by the Right fader, the Right output is controlled by the other half of the Left fader. When the Left and Right faders are both controlling the stereo output, the mono output is switched to operate at a fixed level (unity gain). 6 9 2 The source of the mono fader is normally the mono bus itself, but internal jumpers allow this to be changed to be a derived mono sum of the pre-fade (post insert) left and right signals. The left/right sum is fed to the mono output after the mono insert return, which is then disconnected. The mono insert send thus can still function as a pre-fade output from the mono bus even when the main output has been jumpered to L/R sum. 3 2-Track returns 12 1 4 There are two 2-track return inputs, electronically balanced, from 1/4" jacks on the rear con. A switch mounted internally on the PCB allows the sensitivity of both inputs to be set to either +4dBu or -10dBV. The A/B button selects one or the other and feeds the signal to the 2-TRACK LEVEL control. The MIX button routes the signal to the stereo mix outputs, post the master faders. The selected 2-track input can be monitored on the monitor/phones outputs before it is routed to mix, by pressing the 2TRK button on the monitor output section. 4. 18 Functional Description Solo System 5 5 3 A solo system of pre-fade (inputs) and post-fade (outputs) feeds the monitor and phones outputs. Normally, all active AFL and PFL signals are summed together and fed to the monitor and phones outputs. This overrides the stereo mix or 2-track signal which is normally fed to the monitor/phones output. The PFL/AFL TRIM control gives +/-10dB of level trim for PFL/AFL signals. The SOLO CLEAR button lights when any PFL, or AFL is active -pressing it will clear all PFLs or AFLs. When AUTO CANCEL is activated by the ENBL button, any AFL or PFL will cancel any other currently active solo, so only one AFL or PFL can be active at once. The SIP button disables the automatic switching of the monitor/phones outputs to the PFL/AFL signal, and causes a solo mute bus to be activated when any mono or stereo input or stereo return has its SOLO button pressed. The solo mute bus then mutes all other channels except those which have either been jumper-programmed to be 'SAFE', or have their own SOLO buttons pressed. The Group and Aux output AFLs should not trigger the solo in place system, but should continue to be audible on the monitor/phones outputs, even if SIP mode is selected. The current solo signal is metered by the mono bargraph meter. 8 7 6 Monitor and Headphones Outputs 9 2 4 The Monitor Outputs and Headphones output share a common signal source and are controlled by the MONITOR/PHONES LEVEL control . [. . . ] Example Suppose for scene number 12 you want to store the following configuration: Program change 40, on MIDI channel 3 DataFader controller number 7, on MIDI channel 8 1. Select and recall the Scene 12, using the up/down buttons and RECALL button. The 7-segment display now shows the currently stored program change number for scene 12. (If the console is new, the program change numbers will be factory-set to be the same as scene numbers, until altered) 4. [. . . ]
