operation. When 12 line mode, the left column of Status Symbols displays the line number and
the right displays status. When configured in 24 line mode, each active line is numbered with
the number being shown when the line is idle (replacing the idle “dot”). In the 12 line mode,
the left row of buttons assigns lines to the left fader and the right row to the right fader. In the
24 line mode, both rows assign lines to the left fader. To assign to the right fader, push on, off
or preview on the right fader which activates flashing and displays PRESS LINE on the alpha
display. Selecting a line assigns it to the right fader. To cancel the mode before selecting a line,
press the right drop button or the right channel off button.
When you need to be able to assign selectable lines to more than one or two faders, the Call
Control Module can be expanded using one or more Phone Fader modules. The additional
Phone fader channels will work like the right fader on the Call Control Module. You can quickly
build multiple-line conferences on the fly, while keeping the usual one-call-after-another auto-
drop style operation on the left fader.
In all cases, the keypad for dialing is on the Master Module. Pressing an options key on a fader
channel with a phone line assigned activates the keypad in the master section and opens up
some other phone-related options, such as the auto dial list. The keypad is also automatically
activated to the fader channel that last seized a phone or codec line. However, when options is
active on a phone or codec module, the keypad remains locked to that channel until options is
deselected.
Usually, a VSet phone will be used in the studio along with the console to allow handset
conversations. Taking a line on the VSet will disconnect it from the Element, and vice-versa.
The call will not be dropped.
Fixed lines can be configured directly to Element faders. Phone Fader modules are preferred
because the set, hold and drop buttons are useful. Note that using only fixed lines and Phone
Fader modules would give you “Euro-style” operation, where each line has its own hybrid/
fader and there is no line selector. There is no limit to fixed lines vs. selectable in the VX, so
you can have as many as you have available console faders.
Mix-minus is generated automatically in all Axia consoles. In Element mix-minus AUTO mode,
the feed-to-source will be generated by the PGM-1 bus “minus” the caller audio when the
channel is ON. When the channel is OFF, Talkback will be the source. Alternatively, Feed-to-
Source can be fixed to P1, P2, P3, P4, SA, SB, SC or SD.
You can assign a line to a specific fader by pushing the Set, OFF, ON, Hold, or PVW button on
the fader channel before selecting the line. The fader channel alpha display will toggle between
source type and LINE N after a line is assigned.
