9.2 Control Outputs
9.2.1 CTRL OUT1
This open-collector output is normally used to start external devices, such
as CD players or a CAB system, to play the next track. On the INPUT
CONFIG. page (see chapter 9.1), other functions can be assigned individu-
ally for each audio input.
Input configuration (for each channel individually):
CTRL OUT1 mode CTRL OUT1 signal
NOT ACTIVE Output always open (inactive).
PFL/ON & FADER
Active if either PFL key is pressed (independent of fader position), or if
ON key is pressed and fader is open (fader start function, causing the
source to be started as well when PFL key is pressed).
ON & FADER
Active if ON key is pressed and fader is open (standard fader start
function).
ON LAMP
Active if channel is ON; used as acknowledgement if the channel is
remotely controlled.
9.2.2 CTRL OUT2
This open-collector output can be used to re-park an external device, such
as a CD player, after cueing, or for signaling, or as an acknowledgement
for ON status. It can be configured individually for each input in the
INPUT CONFIG. page (see chapter 9.1).
Input configuration (for each channel individually):
CTRL OUT2 mode CTRL OUT2 signal
NOT ACTIVE Output always open (inactive).
LOCATE KEY
Active if key 3 (“OFF”, configured as LOCATE key) is pressed while the
channel is closed (fader closed or channel OFF). Using this function, a
source which has been pre-listened before can be reset to the start
point.
PREVIEW
Active as long as key 1 (“PFL”) is pressed while the channel is closed
(fader closed or channel OFF). Using this function, a source can be
started for pre-listening.
LOCATE PFL KEY
Active for approx. 0.3 s when key 1 (“PFL”) is switched off while the
channel is closed (fader closed or channel OFF). Using this function, a
source can be given a locate command to return to the start point.
LOCATE PFL /
LOC KEY
Combination of the LOCATE KEY and LOCATE PFL KEY functions:
• Output is active for approx. 0.3 s when key 1 (“PFL”) is switched
off while the channel is closed (fader closed or channel OFF).
Using this function, a source can be given a locate command to
return to the start point.
• Output is active if key 3 (“OFF”, configured as LOCATE key) is
pressed while the channel is closed (fader closed or channel
OFF). Using this function, a source which has been pre-listened
before can be reset to the start point.
ATTENTION
Active as long as key 3 (“OFF”, configured as LOCATE key) is pressed;
can be used for “ready” signaling.
ON LAMP
Active if channel is ON; used as acknowledgement if the channel is
remotely controlled.

fader stop pulse (approx. 0.3 s) at CTRL OUT 2, but only if CTRL OUT
1 is configured as ON & FADER or PFL/ON & FADER.
