B400 Functional Description
When the input is in line level mode and the CUE switch is pressed, this will
(optionally) trigger the remote start/stop facility which has two sets of relay con-
tacts, available via the rear panel D-type connector. These relays can be set to
either latching or pulsed operation via internal jumpers, enabling most types of
machines to be remotely started and stopped.
Under no circumstances should mains voltages be placed on the
contacts of the remote Start/Stop relays.
When both CUE and ON are selected, the cue will (optionally) be cancelled auto-
matically and the signal will be live, provided that the fader is already raised. If the
fader is down, the cue will only be cancelled when raised from its end position.
MMEETTEERR
The 8-segment LED meter may be set to pre-fade (post Mute) or pre-EQ by an
internal jumper. Optionally the meter can be configured to normally display the
signal selected above and follow the Direct output when DIR is pressed.
PPKK ((PPeeaakk))
The 3-input PK LED monitors pre-EQ, post-EQ and post-fade signal levels. If any
of these points rises to 6dB below clipping the LED will illuminate.
FFAADDEERR
The VCA Fader controls the final channel level before PAN and Routing with10dB
of gain in hand. Note that the Insert point may be configured post-fader if
required (see 8 above). External VCA control of the fader is available via the D-
type connector on the rear panel if required.
RROOUUTTIINNGG
The modules output may be routed to any or all of the pairs of Group busses(1-2,
3-4, 5-6, 7-8), or the stereo master bus (ST), subject to the position of the PAN
control (see 14 above).
