About the PHONE and PROGRAM 4 buses:
Element’s Program 4 mix bus is a special multi-
purpose bus that does several things at once to
make life easier for the operator.
Any source assigned to Program 4 also be fed
to the PHONE bus and sent to callers when the
channel is OFF and AUTO is selected as the
Feed To Source Mode. PHONE is an internal bus
which does not feed a separate output; instead,
it picks up the Program 4 audio pre-fader and
pre-On/Off and backfeeds them to an PHONE
sources.
Sources assigned to Program 4 are also sent to
the RECORD bus, a special xed-level output
that can be used to feed recording devices.
Rotating the Dim knob allows the operator to
adjust, in dB, the amount by which the studio
monitors are dimmed when this fader channel’s
Talkback key is pressed.
Pressing Feed to Source or Options a second
time exits this menu.
Delay Section
These keys can be used to provide from-the-board
control of an external profanity delay unit using one of
Element’s GPIO ports (refer to Chapter 3: Configuring
GPIO for instructions on GPIO setup).
The keys provide for remote activation of Dump,
Exit, Pause and Engage functions, respectively.
