Master Status Switching
The console retains the familiar RECORD, REPLAY and MIX statuses. Note, however,
that in RECORD or REPLAY Status, the Large Fader is in the Monitor path and the
Small Fader is in the Channel path. This represents a logical change from
SL4000/6000/8000 Series consoles where the additional selection of VCA TO
MONITORS or FADER REVERSE is required to achieve the same signal flow.
To reverse faders in RECORD or REPLAY status, select SMALL FADER TO MON.
Note that there is a great deal of flexibility in sourcing signals to feed to the various
busses – either fader can be switched locally to feed any of the busses in any status.
Metering
Depending on the specification of the console you are working on, it
may be fitted with standard VU metering or SSL’s back lit LCD
bargraphs. These can be switched between VU and digital Peak
scales from the console’s centre section. The 0dB points of the VU
scale can be adjusted to read between 0 and +6dBu. Factory default
is +4dBu. The 0dB point of the Peak scale can be adjusted from a
terminal to read between +16dBu and +24dBu. Factory default is
+18dBu (-6dBFS on a Sony multitrack).
