5.10 AUTO FADER SWITCH
AUTO FADER switch enables the automatic level adjustment of a signal (available on the
input of the Sub module) depending on the level modulation of another signal (available on
the input of the Master module).
E.g. if you want to automatically fade the level of one music signals (coming from a Stereo
module) depending on the level of a microphone signal (Voice Over function), you have to:
• Assign the Sub output in the Stereo module, whose signal will be compressed
• Make sure that this signal is present on the Sub output
• Assign the Master output in the Mono (micro) module
• Select AUTO FADER and SUB to MASTER on the SUB module
• Make sure that the sum of music and speech signals is present on the Master output
• And that the music level is depending on the voice level
In particular, you can verify that the musical signal is limited every time the voice level
exceeds the set threshold, that the fading level is controlled by Ratio knob and that the
release time is controlled by Rel knob.
5.11 BAL CONTROL
The BAL control allows sound balancing between Left and Right output channels. In the
central position the gain is 0 dB for both channels.
5.12 EXT TO MASTER SWITCH
It enables the addressing of the EXT IN signal (see Sub module) towards the MASTER
module.
5.13 SUB TO MASTER SWITCH
It enables the addressing of the Sub output signal towards the MASTER module (it will be
added to the signals incoming from the other modules).
5.14 PFL BUTTON
The pre-fader listening serves for input identification when the fader is still shut.
PFL enables the pre-fader listening of the channel. The led shows that the function is on.
Please note that every time a new selection is called the previous PFL is reset (i.e. it is not
possible to listen to the sum of different PFLs).
The PFL RESET key on the Master module resets any time every selected PFL.
PFL signal is available on the Master module, in the Control Room and Studio sections.
Note: if PFL and another source (tuner, ext, etc.) are selected in these sections and a PFL
is called, it will have priority on the other selections. E.g.: if PFL and Master are selected in
the CTRL Room section, headphones and loudspeakers reproduce Master signal till a
PFL will be called by one or more input modules. Once the PFL terminates, the sound
reproduction will scwitch automaticallyon the previous selected source (master).
The PFL Right and Left channels are showed on the VU meters whenever a PFL is active
