Style 1 Faders
If your console uses Style 1 faders please
refer to Appendix A. Style 1 faders have
a different button layout, and are slightly
different, in the way that the current
assignment, interrogated paths and VCA
groups are indicated.
Paths A and B
Each fader can control two independent
audio signal paths, A and B. The A and B
buttons are used to select the two channel
paths. Selecting a path will “call” the
fader to the Assign panels and its fader
assign button will light in red. Any changes
made to the Assign panels will affect
the selected path only. When switching
between the two paths, the indicative
displays and fader position change to
match the settings of each path.
Display Labels
The label in the display is the name
associated with the input assigned to the
path, or the group number if the path is a
group. The input labels default to the Port
ID but can be changed to a more suitable
label using the I/O screens. Path A’s label
is shown in the top half of the display, and
path B’s label is shown in the bottom half
of the display. If path A is active, the A
fader assign button and the label will be
lit in green. If path B is active, the B fader
assign button and the label will be lit in
amber.
Channel/Group Cut
The CUT button cuts the channel or group.
Its effect is the same as fading out the
channel or group. Alternatively, there can
be ON buttons which switch the channel
on.
CHANNEL ANd GROUP fAdERS
Assign Button LEDs
A set of indicative LEDs give more
information about the path.
MR - The fader path is a Master of a
VCA style group
SL - The fader path is a slave within a
VCA style group
ST - The path is a stereo channel or
group
SS - The path is a surround master
GP - A group is assigned to the path
A - Path A is active
B - Path B is active
AFL
AFL will be heard through the monitor
loudspeakers (main or small). AFL will be
heard in surround provided that surround
panning is in use and the loudspeaker
system is surround.
Null LEDs
The
and Null LEDs illuminate when
the position of the fader is not the same
as the level of the audio. For example, if
a VCA master is moved away from the ‘0’
position, the null LEDs on the slaves will
light to indicate whether the audio is above
or below the position of the fader.
The T LED indicates that the console
has recognised that the fader has been
touched.
The PEAK LED will light if the channel or
group signal is within 3 dB of the clipping
level. The ON LED lights when the audio
level is not at the
∞ position.
Fader Bargraph
The fader bargraph indicates the level
at the channel input (post the input gain,
input switching and the tone switching),
the channel direct output, or the gain
reduction of the dynamics, indicated by the
three LEDs. Selection is made using the
USER-CHAN screen.
The EQ, FLTR, DYN and M/S LEDs indicate
that these functions are active on the
selected path (EQ, Filters and Dynamics
settings may be flat - LEDs indicate that
the function is switched IN).
PFL
PFL will be heard on the small LS (or the
main LS if PFL to Mon is selected on the
States screen), or PFL LS (depending
upon the monitoring configuration). PFL is
also provided on the fader overpress.
