10 EURODESK SX4882 User Manual
Direct outputs5.2
Each of the 24 main channels on the EURODESK SX4882 has its own DIRECT
OUTPUT, which is taken from a point immediately after the fader (i.e. post EQ
and after the aux sends, see block schematics). This can feed a tape track directly
without having to resort to the subgroups, enabling more than eight dierent
tracks to be recorded simultaneously. Almost alone among the EUROjacks,
these are on unbalanced mono sockets at +4 dB. (See section 22 “Input/output
conguration”, also section 16.1 “Recording”.)
Master Panel6.
Aux masters6.1
Aux sends6.1.1
Much of the master section is taken up by master aux sends and returns.
We’ll start with the sends (see g. 6.1).
Stacked in a vertical column are six master aux send levels, one for each of
buses 1 to 6 (
P 41
to
P 46
). Each one has a gain structure of minus innity to
+15 dB. The extra 15 dB of gain comes in once a knob passes a center detente
(representing the “normal” unity gain position), enabling insensitive outboard
FX to be properly driven. Each aux send has a SOLO button (
S 41
to
S 46
),
and, as with other areas of mixer, a LOCAL SOLO LIGHT (
L 47
), which illuminates
when any of the AUX master sends are solo-ed. This is to help you see exactly
what has been solo-ed. Any experienced engineer will have had occasion to
search painstakingly through every solo button on his/her console trying to nd
out why the main solo light was on, and the control room monitors silent!
