4.3 AUX Send Section
Aux 1 through 4 are always in the Stereo A path. Aux 1 - 4 are dual
concentric controls with 1/3 being the top knob and 2/4 the bottom
knob.
Aux 1/2 is switchable pre/post channel fader. Aux 3/4 is always post
fader.
Pan control
Just below the Aux section is a stereo pan control. On Cinemix's stereo
module, the pan control balances the left and right signals in the stereo
image. It has a center attenuation of -3dB,
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.
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 "A" section to the CRM speakers. In the AFL mode (non
destructive), the stereo post "A" balance 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 60 mm linear fader controls the internal VCA's. 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's are in circuit, noise is kept to an absolute minimum and
the ultra low distortion is of the second harmonic type which many
engineers and producers like.
