B400 Functional Description

MMeetteerr SSeelleeccttoorr PPaanneell

This panel allows you to monitor a variety of console signals. The meters which

would be used in conjunction with this panel may be chosen from a range of

Soundcraft meter panels which are available from your dealer. It is suggested that

a suitable choice would be a L/R pair + phase correlator.

SSEELLEECCTTOORR SSWWIITTCCHHEESS

There are six sources for monitoring:
STEREO monitors the Stereo output of the Stereo Master module, MONO moni-

tors the Mono outputs from the Stereo Master module, EXTERNAL monitors any

signal placed on the external Input L and R XLRs on the meterbridge rear connec-

tor panel, MONITOR monitors the Monitor Module’s output (to output speak-

ers), and STUDIO monitors the Studio Speakers.

CCUUEE OOVVEERRRRIIDDEE

If the CUE OVERRIDE switch is depressed, any Overpress or Cue generated from

the console will replace the selected meter source. The green CUE WARNING

lamp will also light whenever a Cue or Overpress signal is present.

MM//SS

The M/S switch encodes an incoming Stereo L/R signal pair into M/S for display on

the meters. The +20dB switch works in conjunction with the M/S switch: it

boosts the S signal by 20dB.
