monitor features
8-segment channel meter
Monitors a pre or post fader signal level as determined by a Master
Global POST switch within the master section of the console. Normally,
a pre fader signal is monitored. When the Global master switch is
depressed,ALL channel meters switch to a post fader monitor position
to prevent confusion between pre and post channel metering. The 8 seg-
ments include a dynamic signal present LED indicator which varies in
intensity to indicate the presence of any audio signal, and increases in
intensity until it reaches full brightness. When signal level reaches -15dB,
an additional LED will illuminate. Additional LED’s indicate at channel sig-
nal levels of -6dB, -3dB, 0dB, +3dB and +8dB.
The top red segment samples signals at a pre EQ position, post EQ posi-
tion, and a post fader position. When any of these points approach 3dB of
clipping,this led will illuminate RED. This LED is NOT affected by the posi-
tion of the Global Post Fader monitor switch.
VCA-level LED
This LED glows green to indicate the amount of control voltage applied to
the channel VCA; the greater the control voltage, the brighter the LED.
Often, a channel may be assigned to more than one VCA master, and it is
easy to overlook an assignment and wonder why a channel isn’t on.This
LED gives the operator a quick reference to the state of the channel VCA;
if there is no LED indication,there is no VCA control voltage.The LED will
turn from green to red when the control voltage limit of +20dB is reached
as detailed above.This alerts the operator to unusual or incorrect gain set-
tings and prevents any additional fader boost from being applied.
solo switch
Will illuminate when manually selected in one of the console’s many Solo
modes. Controls within the master section determine if this switch will
sample signal pre fader or post fader/post pan pot.
Additional switches will determine the operating characteristics of the
Solo system. These may be selected from within the master section to be
NORMAL (cumulative), LAST PRESSED (Only one switch will be on at a
time.Selecting the next solo switch will automatically cancel the last switch
selected) or MOMENTARY (Solo system on only while switch is held
down). This Solo switch will also Solo and illuminate automatically if the
VCA master group that the channel may be assigned to is put into SOLO.
The SOLO system displays selected channels on individual Solo Left and
Solo Right meters. The signal also appears on separate Headphone and
Monitor output channels. The solo signal may also be routed to the
Alternate A/B and C/D outputs within the master section.
write-on strip
In the area separating the angled upper portion of the console and the
Fader bay area is a write in strip. This strip the primary module number-
ing, while providing write in area for customer use.
