Aux outputs
A detailed block diagram of the Aux 0utputs may be found in the Appendix on
page 77.
The CDC FOUR has eight auxiliary sends, with outputs on the rear panel. All
the sends are mono. They may be used for external FX sends, or for foldback
purposes.
The Aux Send channels have processing similar to that of the Groups; the main
difference is the absence of any routing. The differences from a mono channel
are summarised below. The description of the mono mic/line channel applies in
all other respects. Refer to Page 32 onwards for full details.
Input stage:
All input functionality is removed. The Input Trim, high-pass filter and phase
controls are inoperative and their virtual counterparts do not appear on-screen.
Noise gate:
The Aux Send channels do not have noise gates. All noise gate controls are
inoperative and their virtual counterparts do not appear on-screen.
Limiter:
The Aux Sends’ dynamics sections have a dedicated limiter as well as the
compressor section fitted to the input channels.
THR - adjusts the threshold of the Aux send’s separate limiter section in the range
-40 dB to +21 dB. Default setting is +21 dB (i.e., no limiting).
IN - switches the limiter into the signal chain. Default is Out.
