fader-reverse function
using the HPW as a monitor console
Because of its 10 Aux sends, the HPW can be used as a 10-output Monitor mixer.
Each input channel can access all of the individual Aux mixes, allowing 10 unique
mixes to be generated. Normally, the output level of each of these Aux mixes is
controlled by the corresponding Aux Master rotary level pot. In situations where
the HPW is to be used as a dedicated Monitor Mixer, the 100mm faders can be
switched-over to control the Aux outputs instead of the rotary controls by use of
the Fader-Reverse switch (you will need to use a small tool in order to access the
fader-reverse switch). Other controls associated with monitoring the signals also
change functions when this switch is used.
NOTE: These following controls are ALWAYS fed from the L-R main audio signal.
The Fader-Reverse switch does not affect their function.
Matrix Sends M1 and M2: Always fed from post-level/post-mute main audio, or in
PRE position, from the post-insert/pre-level/pre-mute main audio.
Bus Assignment Mono: Always fed from the post-level/post-mute main audio.
The Matrix Send pots allow the user to mix the post-fader/post-mute main signal
with the other 2 main outputs, plus the 8 groups. If the PRE button is pressed, the
signal to the Matrix Send pots is pre-fader/pre-mute. This allows a totally independent
output mix to be created. The main fader level will not affect the Matrix mix. The
overall level of the entire Matrix mix is controlled by the Matrix Masters, located at
the far right of the Master section.
See Matrix section for further matrix information
fader reverse w/LED
When this switch is “UP” (LED Off), the following controls perform these listed
functions:
Mute (w/Led): Mutes the Post-fader main output
100mm Fader: Controls the main audio output level
Lower AFL switch (below fader): Monitors the main audio level via the Solo system
Upper Rotary pot: Controls the Aux output level
Upper AFL switch: Monitors the Aux level via the Solo system
When this switch is down (LED On), the following controls perform these listed
functions:
Mute (w/Led): Mutes the Post-fader Aux (9 or 10) output
100mm Fader: Controls the Aux output level
Lower AFL switch (below fader): Monitors the Aux level via the Solo system
Upper Rotary pot: Controls the main (L or R) output level
Upper AFL switch: Monitors the audio level via the Solo system
The overall purpose of this reverse switch is to give the operator easier access to
the Aux level and control functions. It shifts the Aux controls to the lower, fader-area
of the module when used as a Monitor console. The main audio controls are shifted
to the upper-rotary area.

Use the Fader-
Reverse switches
whenever it is beneficial to
have an Aux level control
on a fader. These switches
can be used individually
(if only 1 Aux needs to
be controlled), or all can
be switched when a full
Monitor Console function
is desired.
