Crest Audio CV 20 User Manual

T
he Master Module block contains the main audio 
buses and their associated controls, VCA masters 
and Mute group/ scene masters and functions including 
monitoring and talk back.
8 VCA masters are standard on all CV
™
models.
Assigning Channels to a VCA is via “soft assignments”. 
With a channel assigned to a VCA, not only can the 
channel’s post fader level be controlled by the VCA 
master but the channel can also be muted and soloed 
from the master.
8 sub-groups are also provided on CV models for 
conventional grouping each with their own 12 segment 
bar graph metering. From the sub group signals can be 
sent to the L/R and Mono buses. With the LCR switch 
engaged panning between the Left, Right and Mono 
buses can be applied for LCR applications.
Separate Left, Right and mono bus controls are also 
provided on all CV units with 12 segment bar graph 
metering for each bus. 
Each subgroup and main bus can also be sent to 4 Matrix 
outputs 1 & 2 Matrix buses being fixed mono and 3 and 
4 being switch able from dual mono to stereo sends. 
Matrix level control is provided via rotary controls with 
Matrices 3 & 4 having the expanded ability to route to 
Aux 11 & 12 to add post processed sub-grouped audio 
to the Aux mix. The Matrix buses can also source 
signals from the stereo inputs as well. This makes Matrix 
expandable from 11 x 4 to 19 x 4.
12 Aux masters are also provided with separate solo and 
mute switches for each master. Mutes of Aux masters 
can be accessed locally or via the scene controls (see 
scene controller). Each Aux master also has its own 12-
segment bar graph meter for monitoring purposes.
