VU meters (#7 & #8) will indicate the output levels of the 2-Track Master Sends.

))

* In addition to the Control Room, 2-Track, Main Output, Cue, and

Effects mixes, you also have a "Studio Mix." This is a Master output that may select

various signals (identical to the control room) to feed the studio. It is extrimely

useful for playing back a mix to the studio monitors. The Studio Sends are "Pre-

amp" sends normally connected to an amplifier dedicated to driving the studio

monitor speakers. For instance, you may wish to playvack a "Demo" tape to the

musicians in the studio (prior to recording) for a reminder or reference to tempo

and style of music to be recorded. The Studio feed may also be different than the

Control Room feed. So, you could be playing back a tape to the studio while

perfoming a mixdown in the control room. This saves time and greatly increases

the efficiency of the studio. The Studio Select Group will allow you to select 2-

Track Effects signals. In a production studio the "Studio Feed" is essensial and a

real time saver.

* The talkback section of the MX2488 console will allow you to feed

talkback audio to the Cue Outputs, Studio Outputs, Effects Outputs, and Slate (all

Main Outputs). A built in condenser microphone & volume control will allow you

to speak directly to any one , or combination of each of the busses, and vary the

amount of signal sent to them. Whenever a talkback weitch is depressed the

volume in the control room monitors will drop. This eliminates feedback from the

talkback mic in the control room.

* The Cue talkback switch is very useful for speaking to performers

through their headphones. Usually Cue #1 and #2 sends will be dedicated to the

headphones. In a live situation, the Cue talkback switch will allow you to speak

through the stage monitors for cueing on stage performances.

* The studio talkback switch will allow you to cue musicians in the

studio through the studio speakers or monitors.

* The talkback select to the Effects sends may be used to verify signals

connected to various effects, or for slating recorded effects tracks.

* The "Slate" switch feeds a talkback signal to all of the Main Outputs of

the MX2488. This feature is usually used to Cue tapes or for audio labeling of each

recording.

* At the top of this group you will find the Master Solo "Green" LED and

"Solo Level" control. (See Front Panel Controls - Input Channels - #7). Whenever

any solo switch on the mixing console is depressed the Master Solo LED will

illuminate to indicate that you are listening to a solo or group of solo signals. The

Solo Level control will allow you to adjust the level of soloed signals in the control

room monitors.
