C MAIN MIX D INPUT FADERS
C1 MAIN MIX. A single switch routes the
channel signal to the 3 output main mix. Its balance
and image within the L, R and C outputs is
determined by the BLEND and PAN controls.
C2 BLEND. This control adjusts the balance
between the LR and C outputs. Fully anti-clockwise
all the signal routes to the LR outputs and none to
C. At the detented centre position the signal routes
equally to the LR and C outputs. Fully clockwise all
signal routes to the C output and none to LR.
BLEND does not affect the group routing. The
control has a 3dB attenuation at centre position.
The stereo channels route stereo to LR and sum
the signal in mono to C.
C3 PAN. Adjusts the balance between the L and
R outputs. It does not affect the C output. At the
detented centre position the signal routes equally to
L and R. PAN and BLEND combine to adjust the
balance between the 3 outputs. PAN also adjusts
the balance between odd and even groups if the
GRP PAN ON switch is selected. The control has a
3dB attenuation at centre position.
C4 GRP PAN ON. In the up position the groups
are sourced pre-pan. Use this setting for creating
mono groups not affected by the position of the
PAN control. When pressed, the groups are
sourced post-pan. Use this setting for creating
stereo groups where the signal is balanced between
L and R using the PAN control.
D1 IDENT STRIP. Identifies the channel
numbers and provides a write-on area. The use of
low adhesion artist or masking tape is
recommended.
D2 MUTE. This momentary action switch turns
the channel signal on or off. Both pre and post-fade
signals are affected unless the pre-fade pre-mute
setting has been internally configured. The channel
can also be muted by the mute groups, VCA group
mutes, snapshot memories, solo-in-place and MIDI
note on/off messages. The switch illuminates when
the channel is muted.
The switch also functions as a solo select when the
console is in SIP mode, and as an edit key when in
EDIT GROUPS or EDIT SAFES mode. The
channel mute status is always displayed on the
switch regardless of mode.
