FIVE Monitor Functional Description

WWEEDDGGEE OOUUTTPPUUTT

l

WWEEDDGGEE FFAADDEERR

A stereo 100mm fader is provided for engineer’s Wedge speakers, and this nor-

mally receives the EXT SOLO signal (i.e. no signal, unless another slave console is

connected.) Whenever an input or output SOLO button is pressed, the Wedge

output switches to the corresponding internal or external PFL or AFL signal. An

internal jumper allows the output to be configured to receive the Left/Right output

instead of EXT SOLO, unless an internal SOLO is active. The Fader also controls

the overall level of the ALT WEDGE outputs if these are configured to follow the

Main Wedge (see SRC below).

;

MMAAIINN WWEEDDGGEE OONN

The Main Wedge is enabled when the switch is pressed. Note that the ALT

WEDGE output is unaffected, even if configured to follow the Main Wedge (see

SRC below).

z

MMOONNOO SSOOUURRCCEE LL//RR

MONO SOURCE buttons L and R allow either the Left or Right output/solo sig-

nals to be fed in mono to both Left and Right Wedge outputs without a gain

change, or if both are pressed, the output will be a mono sum of Left and Right.

This MONO SOURCE function is useful when handling stereo AFL signals on a sin-

gle monitor wedge.

x

WWEEDDGGEE IINNSSEERRTT ((IINN))

The Wedge Insert Point is normally bypassed, unless the IN switch is pressed, and

is before the Mono Source switching and the feed to the ALT WEDGE, so that

both Wedge outputs are affected by any devices inserted into the signal path. ALT

SOLO is not affected by the Insert.

c

AALLTT WWEEDDGGEE LLEEVVEELL

An Alternate Wedge stereo output is provided, with its own level control. The

feed to this output may either follow the Main Wedge or ALT SOLO, depending

on the position of the SRC (Source) switch (see below). The ALT WEDGE dims

with the Main Wedge.

v

OONN

Pressing the internally illuminated ON switch enables the Alt Wedge output, inde-

pendently of the Main Wedge.

b

SSRRCC ((SSoouurrccee))

When this switch is released, the Alt Wedge follows the Main Wedge, including the

Mono Source switching, Wedge Insert and Wedge Fader (subject to the PRE

switch, see below), but before the Main Wedge ON switch. When the SRC

switch is pressed the Alt Wedge listens to ALT SOLO.

n

PPRREE

The feed from the Main Wedge to Alt Wedge is normally sourced post the main

wedge fader, but may be switched to pre-fade by pressing the PRE switch.

m

PPHHOONNEESS

The engineer’s phones (and Wedge Meter in the overbridge) are fed by the post-

insert Wedge, pre Mono Source Wedge signal, but have a separate phones volume

control. The headphone socket is recessed into the front of the fascia (and dupli-

cated on the Master rear panel), and is driven by a high-power (1W into 8ohms)

headphone amp.
