OPERATION
The SWITCHED METER PAIR can also meter PGM, AUD, or the
combination of MONO1 and MONO2, with MONO1 appearing on the left
meter and MONO2 on the right meter.
The SWITCHED METER PAIR can also meter the caller feed mix-minus
buses (CF1 on the left meter and CF2 on the right meter), or the general
purpose mix-minus buses (MXM1 on the left meter and MXM2 on the right
meter).
If any channel is placed in cue, or if the TALKBACK button is being held
down, the SWITCHED METER PAIR will automatically switch to meter
CUE on the left meter and the console’s talkback bus on the right meter. The
SWITCHED METER display (see below) switches to show “Q/TB”.
Meter Select Button
Press the METER SELECT BUTTON. The button lights, the CHANNEL
DISPLAY shows SW METER, and the SOURCE DISPLAY shows the
signal currently feeding the switched meter pair. The ENTER BUTTON
begins to flash. Turn the SELECT KNOB until the desired source shows in the
SOURCE DISPLAY, then press the ENTER BUTTON (the ENTER BUT-
TON stops flashing). This selects the displayed source as the source for the
switched meter pair. The source name also shows in the METER DISPLAY,
and the METER SELECT BUTTON light goes off.
If you don’t hit the ENTER BUTTON or move the SELECT KNOB for
ten seconds the select process will terminate, leaving the selection for the
phone section unchanged.
Meter Display
The four character METER DISPLAY shows the source that has been
selected for metering by the SWITCHED METER PAIR.
CONTROL SECTION
The CONTROL SECTION consists of a CHANNEL DISPLAY, a
SOURCE DISPLAY, a SELECT KNOB, an ENTER BUTTON, and a MIX
STATUS BUTTON.

When a source is being selected for a fader the CHANNEL DISPLAY
shows which fader is being accessed. During a mix-minus status check the
display shows “MIXMINUS”.

the name of the source currently selected for or being selected for the fader.
During a mix-minus status check the display shows firmware revision
information.

the other purposes, the
combined CHANNEL and
SOURCE DISPLAYS
show “AudioArts D-16”.
