Boot Mode 1
Upon start-up, the 8424 is configured with all channel inputs on Input B.
This can be changed by switching the inputs individually on each channel, or
by pressing the global A/B CH IP switch in the master select section of the
console. Green LED’s indicate Input A state, Yellow indicate Input B.
To protect the system from feedback, the direct outputs from the channels
are fed from Input B by default. This can be changed in the services screen
by selecting MAST> IPA DIR [Y].
The console will always boot up in safe mode. This state ensures that no
damage incurs to loudspeakers or additional studio equipment on start-up.
In safe mode all feeds to speakers will be CUT (speaker outs will illuminate
RED to indicate CUT state). The control room monitor level should also be
turned fully down automatically to further protect studio equipment.
