3.14 SUMMARY OF THE SERVICES/FUNCTIONS FEATURED BY THE MODULE
You can use the same microphones connected to the Mono modules (no matter of the
On/Off state and of slider position) also for phone answering (through the Telco modules),
CTRL Room to Studio / Studio to CTRL Room talk back communications (through the
Master module) and for the Slate function on the Sub module:
§ If the jumper J10 is present, phone answering through the microphone is enabled by
pressing the ‘Private’ button on the Telco module (see chapter 4).
§ If the jumper J10 is present, Talk Back communications from Ctrl Room to Studio are
achieved through the Ctrl Room microphones by pressing the ‘Talk back’ button on
the Master module (see chapter 7)
§ If the jumper J10 is present, speech announcements on the Sub outputs are achieved
by pressing the ‘Slate’ button on the Sub module (see Sub chapter)
§ If the jumper J9 is present, Talk Back communications from Studio to Ctrl Room are
achieved through the Studio microphones by pressing the ‘Talk back’ button on the
Master module (see chapter 7)
By default (factory preset), every mono module (excluding the last one on the right) is set
for the Studio microphones (“Talk Back to Control Room” configuration) and the the last
is set for the
microphones
(“Talk Back to Studio”
configuration plus the other facilities here described)
Through internal jumpers setting you can also associate the On/Off state or the fader
opening (depending on the On/Off mode) to the following actions (see the last paragraph
on this chapter)
• Start/stop of the (optional) Timer 1 (see jumper J5)
• Cut off (‘Mute’) of the Control Room and/or Studio monitor loudspeakers (to avoid
‘Larsen’ effects- see jumper J3 and J4)
• Switching of two relays built-in in the power supply (relay 1 and 2- see jumper J6 and
J7). You could use this function to light an ‘On Air’ lamp (as Mr. Light by AXEL
TECHNOLOGY)
3.15 FADER
The slider
is one of the most important device in the mixer. For that reason,
Axel
Technology uses only slider by ALPS, one of the best manufactures in the field.
The N type is provided on series. On demand, we can provide the K series and the K/VCA
series too. We highly recommend these as the slider does not act directly on the audio
signal but controls an high quality amplifier. That allows perfect volume control without any
noise and ‘skretch’ even after years of usage.
