Each selection has an input trim to adjust the balance of the levels. The output can
be DIMmed or MUTEd using the appropriate switch.
The HEADPHONE section provides the same three source selections as the Listen
section. The monitoring level in the headphones is adjusted with the potentiometer
provided and can also be MUTEd.
Full details of the module functions are discussed in chapter 12 Listen & Stereo Out-
put 8305

The oscillator section contains a low distortion sine wave oscillator, a pink noise gen-
erator, plus an additional input for an external oscillator - for testing and line-up pur-
poses. The signal level meter can be switched to monitor each source. The oscillator
section can be routed to channels and/or groups.
The communications section is equipped with a standard microphone amplifier with
phantom power and a high pass filter. The output of the microphone amplifier can be
routed to the TALK; LINE and REMOTE bus’, each of which is equipped with a send
level potentiometer. The associated LED meter can be switched to monitor any of the
communication lines.
The remote calling section also has a microphone amplifier with phantom power and
routing to the LISTEN and TALKBACK bus’. Additional visual signalling and monitor-
ing circuits is also included.
The CHECK button, at the top of the module, controls the console SOLO function.
Chapter 11 Osc & Communications 8271 has full details of all the module functions.

The CCM and FCM form the control centre for the R-Type console system. The CCM
handles the memory and communication functions for the console and the FCM han-
dles the fader programming facilities.
Additionally, the CCM contains control functions for: Master Mutes (channel, outputs,
matrix and LCR); send 1 to 8 stereo pairing; EVENT and MIDI programming; module
LED illumination control; Littlite illumination control; fan speed control.
A QWERTY keyboard can be plugged into the rear panel for inputting of alpha
numeric information for use by master fader displays, and software programming
functions. An external computer can be connected to the system via a USB port.
The CCM/FCM combination can be placed in any frame in the console system, but
they must always be located together. Only one CCM and FCM are allowed in a sin-
gle console system.
See chapter 6 Central Control Module 8281 and section 6.3 Fader Control Module
(FCM) for a full description of how to use the CCM and FCM.
