¥
B
routes the signal from the Channel B send bus to the monitor.
¥
A B
routes both channel send busses to the monitor.
¥
(OFF)
disconnects the send signal from the monitor.
The two Monitor
RECEIVE
routing switches (
MONITOR 1 RECEIVE
,
MONITOR 2 RECEIVE
) do the
same thing, only with the signal from the A and B Receive Decoders.
But these are stereo monitor mixers, and the individual send busses or receive channels
may be mono or part of a stereo pair. So we’ve given you a lot of flexibility in how the
signals are panned in the monitor circuits.
About Monitor Panning
Since ZephyrExpress’ mixers are digitally controlled, we were able to build in a lot of
versatility.
Each of the four possible sources (A and B send bus, A and B receive codec output) is
connected to four separate pan controls for each monitor mixer. Each control can be set
to any position in the left/right field. (The controls themselves appear in the
Audio
menu,
and are discussed below.) ZephyrExpress will use the one control that matches that
source’s routing switch:
¥
If you select
A
on the routing switch, the submenu’s
A setting
will be used.
¥
If you select
B
on the routing switch, the submenu’s
B setting
will be used.
¥
If you select
AB
, the mixer will use the submenu’s
AB setting A
position for the A
channel and the
AB setting B
position for the B channel.
The drawing that follows describes what the software’s actually doing. Assume that the
hidden “Monitor 1 Receive” block is identical to the Send block you can see. By the way,
this is all repeated for the
MONITOR 2
circuit... making a total of 16 pan pots in
ZephyrExpress.
