MUTE
Turns off the mix output. Affects the meter but does not
affect the mix AFL function. This means you can mute the output while
checking the post-fade mix signal using the console headphones and
engineer’s monitor output.
AFL Listen to the mix output in mono or stereo. Routes the post-
fade, pre-mute mix output to the engineer’s monitor system. The
yellow LED lights when AFL is selected. If two mixes are configured
as a stereo pair, pressing one AFL checks that mix in mono, and
pressing both AFL together checks the mix in stereo in the
headphones and monitor outputs.
PEAK The red indicator illuminates when the mix signal is within
5dB of clipping. This gives you enough warning to reduce the level
before you hear signal distortion. It senses the audio at two points in
the signal chain – pre-insert and post-fade.
SIGNAL The green signal presence indicator lights when the mix
post-fade, post-mute signal is greater than -12dBu.
STEREO mode switch Pressing the switch configures the
related odd/even numbered mixes for mono or stereo operation. In
MONO mode (switch flush with panel), two independent mono mixes
are provided. In STEREO mode (switch below the panel), the top (odd
numbered) channel send becomes the stereo send level control, and
the lower (even numbered) control becomes the pan control to position
the signal between L and R within the stereo image. The switch is
recessed below the panel to protect it from accidental operation. Use
a pen or pointed object to change the setting.
FADER A 60mm fader provides accurate control of the mix output.
Boost of +10dB is available above the nominal ‘0’ position. For normal
operation the fader should be operated around its ‘-10’ to ‘0’ position.
If the fader needs to average higher or lower than this check the gain
structure between the console and the connected equipment.
