FIVE Monitor Functional Description

4.16

LL && RR OOUUTTPPUUTT SSEECCTTIIOONN

The lower half of the Master module comprises the Left/Right Output, which may

be used as two individual outputs or linked as a stereo pair.

p

FFAADDEERR

The 100mm fader controls the final level to the electronically balanced output.

a

MMUUTTEE

The output is muted when the switch is pressed, and the integral LED illuminates

to show that the MUTE is active.

s

TTBB

Pressing the latching TB switch arms the output to receive talkback from the cen-

tral talkback section, when the master “TO OUTPUTS VIA TB” INT switch is

active. The switch illuminates to warn that OSC is armed. The output is dimmed

by 6dB when talkback is active. Alternatively, if the Master Talkback signal is

already active, pressing TB routes the Talkback signal to the output, until the

switch is released. TB is injected post the meter takeoff point, so talkback signals

do not appear on the meterbridge.

d

ØØ ((PPhhaassee))

Pressing the Ø (Phase) switch reverses the phase of the output, to allow experi-

mentation for best feedback immunity with a multiple-mic setup. The switch is

illuminated when the phase is reversed.

f

IINNSSEERRTT ((OOUUTT))

The Insert Point consists of separate Send and Return jacks on the rear panel. The

Send is normalled to the Return.
The OUT switch bypasses the Insert Point when pressed, but leaves the pre-fade

output signal on the Send jack to feed external equipment if required. The switch

is illuminated when the insert is bypassed.

g

SSOOLLOO TTRRIIMM

SOLO TRIM gives +/- 10dB adjustment to the signal sent from that Output to the

AFL/PFL bus. This is useful for trimming a number of Outputs of varying levels to

give a consistent monitor level, thus reducing the requirement for manual Wedge

or ALT master adjustments whenever a SOLO is selected.

h

GGLLOOBBAALL MMOODDEE ((SSTTEE))

The GLOBAL MODE STE switch provides switching of the associated pairs of

send controls on the input channels between MONO and STEREO operation. In

STEREO mode, the SOLO switches on the L/R Outputs are linked in software, so

that pressing one automatically activates the other. See SOLO below for informa-

tion on how this switch affects the sends to the SOLO busses.

k

SSOOLLOO // AALLTT

The SOLO switch feeds the pre and post-fade Group signal to one of two sets of

PFL and stereo AFL busses: Main or Alternate, depending on the setting of the

mechanically latching ALT switch

k

. The PFL / AFL state of the SOLO is affected

by the global PFL/AFL mode switch (see above). The PFL feed is post-INSERT.
