Monitoring
Feeds to the desk’s monitoring facilities are picked up post the Main Fader and
Compressor. This point also feeds the main output meters when selected to DESK
OUTPUT.
Following the injection of AFL, PFL and Solo-In-Front signals, the monitor feeds can
also be interrupted by source selections from the two External Source Selectors (more
on this in Section 5). MONO sums all four monitor busses and feeds the result equally
to Left and Right monitor outputs or to the Centre output, subject to the selection of
the 2 CH or 4 CH switches. Selecting 2 CH also mutes the Centre and Surround
monitor outputs.
A switchable Monitor Insert point is provided for the connection of Dolby Surround
Encoders/Decoders.
Level controls are provided for both the Main and two pairs of Mini (near-field)
loudspeakers. Inputs from two ‘Listen Mic’ circuits are fed to the Mini ‘A’ LS outputs.
AFL, PFL and Solo-In-Front are also fed to the Mini ‘A’ LS outputs if A/PFL TO
MINIS is selected. Note that this selection leaves the desk output on the Main
monitors and the AFL/PFL level control is inactive.
Output Routing with LCR Pan Option
When the LCR pan option is fitted, the Centre Mix bus can be fed directly from the
channels (see opposite). Selection of 2 CH or 4 CH in the centre section determines
whether both Small and Large Fader pans will pan between Left and Right with a
‘phantom’ centre or from Left, through Centre, to Right. When selected to 4-Channel
mode, the pans will still pan between odd/left and even/right Multitrack or Stereo
Subgroup busses.
Apart from this simple but extremely useful and convenient function, the desk’s main
output and monitoring signal paths and facilities are as described above for standard
systems.
