Meterbridge
Overview
The console’s meterbridge houses two pairs of left-right LED meters
(Program and Switched; see “Studio Control” Chapter 5), the digital timer, the
console clock, and cue speaker (controlled by the CRD-70 Control Room
Module; see page 4-2). Each LED meter column displays VU average bar,
PEAK dot, OVER, and LOW signal.
The meterbridge lid is removable for easy access (analog trims, setting the
clock). Simply open meterbridge cover by removing the two black #4 flathead
screws along the rear bottom lip of the meterbridge cover.
Replacement Parts
Clock/timer, LED meter cards, and replacement cue speaker are available.
See Appendix for specific ordering information.
Digital Timer
The console timer control buttons are located on the CRD-70 module.
The timer is provided with an AUTO-RESTART function so programmed
input modules can automatically reset the timer display to zero and start a new
count, allowing the announcer to easily track his own pace.
The START/STOP button halts the timer, holds the last count, and then
restarts and accumulates the count when depressed again
—
perfect for compil-
ing tapes of desired duration.
RESET has a dual-mode capability:
- if you depress it while the timer is counting, the display will instantly reset
to zero and start a fresh count;
- if the timer is already stopped, depressing this button will reset the timer
to zero, where it will hold until start is pressed.
HOLD button allows you to hold the display for a longer viewing duration,
while still allowing the counter to continue in the background. Releasing the
button will then display the current count.
