SEL
The SEL switch determines the automation mode of the automated fader.
Either off (no LED's on) Read (R LED on), Write (W LED on) or Update/Trim
both Read and Write LED's on.
SOLO
The SOLO switch has an adjacent LED as an indicator for the solo being active.
The SOLO system has two modes, PFL (pre fade listen), AFL (after fade
listen). Master status switching (located in the master section) selects the PFL
or AFL mode for the entire console (except for the Aux master solo's).
Activating the solo switch in the PFL mode will send the prefader signal of the
Channel section to the CRM speakers. In the AFL mode (non destructive), the
post channel panpot signal is heard, and all other modules are not muted within
the stereo mix buss
MUTE
The MUTE system is a special soft-muting circuit, click-free and associated with
the automation circuitry. A MUTE indicator is fitted alongside the MUTE
switch.
FADER
The 100 mm linear fader controls the internal VCA. An optional Motorfader can
be fitted which follows the VCA control voltage.
Today's VCA's have very low distortion and very impressive specs, when the
VCA is in circuit, noise is kept to an absolute minimum and the ultra low
distortion is of the second harmonic type which is responsable for a natural
sound.
3.14 CHANNEL & MIX PATH INPUTS / OUTPUTS
All mic inputs are interfaced via female XLR 3 pin connectors located on the
module backpanels. All other module inputs and outputs are located in the
patchbay and accessible via 25 pin sub "D" connectors on the back of the
patchbay.
