Please note that this key may also be configured as CUE key. The purpose of
CUE is to feed the after-fader, after-pan and pre-ON audio signal of the desired
channel or AUX send, group, or master (program, record) to the PFL bus. If
active, the key is illuminated in yellow.
¹ Direct Access Keys When pressing one of these keys, the corresponding page is displayed on
the central screen and shows the last active menu. There, the user can adjust
parameters for this channel or select a different page – either by the touch
fields and/or the rotary encoders below the central screen, or by the PC mouse
and keyboard. As long as a page is displayed, its direct access key is illumi-
nated. When deselecting the key, the page that was previously displayed pops
up again.
Since the insert page is common for all fader strips, the INS key is not illu-
minated while the page is displayed.
REC The REC function is used to assign the channel signal directly to the record
bus, regardless of the fader position, the ON key, and the bus assignment. If
active, the key is lit in red.
¹ TB For N–X owner channels, this key’s function is TB (talkback) to the N–X
return. If more than one owner is configured to the same N–X output, all
corresponding TB keys work in parallel.
USR 1 / USR 2 The two user key functions are factory-configurable. Per default, they are
configured as follows:
USR 1 is used together with the snapshot channel filter. If the Set Channel
Filter ON button on the SNAP Shot page is activated, all USR 1 keys flash.
Channels may be selected now by pressing the desired USR 1 keys.
USR 2 selects the fader stopwatch display for this channel.
Fader Since the audio path is fully digital, the signal does not pass through the
faders; linear-track mono faders with a stroke length of 100 mm are used.
When opening the fader, fader start or signaling commands can be released,
depending on the configuration. Motor faders can be installed as an option.
Master Fader Any fader can be configured as a master/group/N–X send fader. The master
function is indicated in the OLED display as well.
The ON key is disabled when the fader is configured as master fader for either
one of the master outputs, and the PFL function is enabled.
LEVEL A bar graph meter is provided in each channel’s OLED display, either indicat-
ing the input level, or the N–X or AUX send level of the channel.
Input Level Indication: It is configurable whether the meter displays the PF or AF signal of this chan-
nel. The value indicated on the meter is depending on the console’s headroom
setting (default value: 0 dB indication for –9 dB
FS
).
N–X or AUX send level indication: In this mode the meter indicates the N–X
or AUX send level of the channel.
Overload Indication, Analog Inputs: As soon as one sample at an analog input reaches full scale, the overload
indicator is on for approx. 300 ms (the idea is that the probability of an A/D
converter reaching full scale without clipping is close to zero. Any full-scale
levels within the path are considered to be overloads).
Overload Indication, Digital Inputs: Full scale modulation at a digital input is not considered to be an overload
– it is simply the output level of a source.
Overload Indication, REC/PGM Outputs:
If one sample of an output signal reaches full scale, the corresponding over-
load indication is on for approx. 300 ms.
