PFL/SOLO6.5

PFL6.5.1
Pressing
S 95
disengages the stereo SOLO bus, and replaces it with a separate
mono PFL (Pre-Fader-Listen) bus. Now anything at all which is SOLOed, isn’t.
It is PFLed instead. PFL should be used for gain-setting. (See also the essential
section 13 “Start-up”.)
SOLO6.5.2
SOLO is short for SOLO IN PLACE, and is the preferred method for auditioning
an isolated signal or a group of signals. Whenever a SOLO button is pressed,
all unselected channels are muted in the monitors. Stereo panning is maintained.
The SOLO bus is derived from the output of the channel PANs, aux send/return
pots, etc., and is always post fader.
In addition to any local solo LEDs which might be activated, the ultra-bright MAIN
SOLO LED (
L 95
) illuminates whenever anything is SOLO/PFLed.
P 94
controls
the master SOLO/PFL level. Set to unity gain (center detente), this will match the
mix level.
Talkback6.6
Fig. 6.7: Talkback
The built in mic (above the main mix faders) allows you to converse with
artists remotely. The most important controls are the VOLUME (
P 99
) and
PHONES & STUDIO button (
S 99
, see g. 6.7). It is possible to route the talkback
mic to any of the following: aux 1, aux 2, subgroups, and phones and studio
(
S 96
to
S 99
).
Complex headphone or stage monitoring networks could be constructed where
HP 1
,
HP 2
, aux 1 (pre), aux 2 (pre) and one or more subgroups all feed
separate monitor mixes. (See section 16.2 “Very tricky headphones”).
However, since the four pushbuttons are non-latching it might drive you crazy.
If you are using many headphone feeds, you may nd it easier to patch a separate
microphone for talkback straight into a channel, where it can be routed pretty
much anywhere.
Engaging TALKBACK (S99) dims the control room (monitors, not lights) by -20 dB
to restrict the possibility of feedback. All other talkback routes are unaected.

Expander port bus inputs
If you want to add another console to your EURODESK SX4882, the expander
port bus inputs give access to all subgroups, auxes and mix busses via an array of
¼" jacks, situated top left on the rear panel.
