Two-man operation 55
XL8 Control Centre
Quick Reference Guide
Two-man operation
The XL8 Control Centre can be operated by two people simultaneously. To do this one
or two of the input bays are designated as area B. Initially, all input bays are area A,
but after they have been designated as area B, both areas operate independently of
each other.
This feature can also be used by a single operator if they require somewhere to
store important channels. In this case, area B can be used in the same way a
‘channel 25’ would be used on an analogue console.
During two-man operation the mix and output bays are common to both areas. Also,
you can have the same channel selected simultaneously in both areas (A and B).
VCA/POP groups can be pre-selected to populate area A or B, and a single group of
inputs can have members in both areas of the control surface. An operator can then
recall them to their own area to work on.
Note: When operating in area B, remember to select the B option as necessary,
particularly in the monitor section. Also note that solo B (also for talkback) is totally
independent of area B, which is used for navigation only.
>> To set up the XL8 for two-man operation
Press the B button (see diagram below) in the input bay(s) that you want to operate as
area B. The following diagram shows a typical configuration for area A and B operation,
where input bays 1 and 2 are area A and input bay 3 is area B.
