NOTE : If the IN FRONT BALANCE control is left fully clockwise (i.e. an all mix bus balance) then it may appear that
the AFL/Solo function isn't working as there is no AFL signal feeding the monitoring, (i.e. you're only listening to the
mix bus signal, i.e. no AFL/Solo signal)!
RED LIGHT
The RED LIGHT function closes a relay on the DB-9 UTILITY connector on the rear panel of the console. Typically this is used for
a Record Light for the studio, to indicate not to disturb the recording area. If nothing is connected to the UTILITY connector, then
this switch has no function (other than illuminating the associated red front panel LED!). The RED LIGHT relay switch closure will
change state when the console goes to SLEEP. This could be used to switch off other studio equipment, or to signal externally that
the console is in sleep mode, if the RED LIGHT function is not required.
METERS Section
MIX METER FOLLOW MON SOURCE
The MIX meter typically shows the level of the main stereo Mix bus. Pressing the MIX METER FOLLOW MON
SOURCE switch switches the MIX meter to follow the selection on the MON SOURCE section. This is useful
to meter, or calibrate an external source connected to one of the four External Source selectors.
PEAK MODE SELECT
The meters in ORIGIN are fast detecting 'peak' meters. These meters have some options for displaying peaks
and the PEAK MODE SELECT switch cycles around these modes with repeated pressing. The options are:
- No Peak Hold. The meter displays instantaneous peak values only
- First Press - 1 second Peak Hold. Peak level LED stays illuminated for approximately 1 second and
then automatically resets. This mode can be identied when selected by the red +24dBu LEDs
illuminating for approx. 1 second and then falling to the current metered level.
- Second Press - 3 second Peak Hold. Peak level LED stays illuminated for approximately 3 seconds
and then automatically resets. This mode can be identied when selected by the red +24dBu LEDs
illuminating for approx. 3 seconds and then falling to the current metered level.
- Third Press - Permanent Peak Hold. The LED indicating Peak level achieved stays illuminated
indenitely and can be reset using the PEAK CLEAR function (see below). This mode can be identied
when selected by the red +24dBu LEDs rippling across 8 channel sections.
- Fourth Press - returns to the no Peak Hold state.
The console will remember the setting when powered off, so the start state for the rst press may be offset
(e.g. if in 1 second Peak hold when powered off, the next press after power on will be 3 second.)
PEAK CLEAR
Resets the captured Peak level (and indication) for all meters when permanent Peak Hold mode is selected (see PEAK MODE
SELECT above).
