MIX INSERTS
These are similar to the Input Channel Inserts and al-

low external processing equipment to be ‘inserted’ into

the output signal path. The

" 3 pole ‘A’ gauge jack

sockets are by-passed except when a plug is inserted.

BARGRAPH METERS
Two 16-segment, three colour bargraph meters provide

visual monitoring of Mix L & R output levels. These are

factory set to a PEAK characteristic, but may be

changed internally to a VU characteristic. Please refer

to the Selectable Options section (Page 31) for details.
Normally the meters display Left and Right signals. If

any PFL or AFL switch is activated the left meter is

turned off and the right meter displays the selected PFL

or AFL signal.
The bargraphs may be calibrated by trimmers fitted on

the edge of the PCBs and accessed via holes in the

panel above each meter. Adjustments may be made

using a small screwdriver, taking care not to damage

the trimmers.

MIX MASTER FADERS
Master Faders for the Left and Right Mix outputs. Unity

gain is at the top of their travel.

47. OSCILLATOR

The dual frequency Oscillator is simultaneously turned

on and routed to the 8 Groups and the stereo Mix bus-

ses by the TAPE switch.
A second switch selects output frequency to either

1kHz (Up) or 10kHz (down). Level is determined by

the rotary control.

48.

FOLDBACK MASTER FADERS
Rotary master faders drive the FB1 and FB2 outputs

via ground- compensated amplifiers. Each Foldback

output has an associated AFL switch, sampling the sig-

nal after the fader.
