The R-Type mixing console is designed to include a maximum of 16 output modules:
each module providing 2 OUTPUTS (dual mono/stereo) and 1 MATRIX output. Addi-
tionally, the module features INSERT which connects the pre-fader send/return insert
jacks into the signal path. The T/B function allows the talkback to be picked up by
each matrix mix bus. Post-fader level meters following the MUTE switch display the
MATRIX output signal.
A maximum of 16 Output & Matrix modules may be used in any configuration at any
time. Each module features a dual output (A/B) which can be either mono or stereo
depending on how the input channel sending bus has been configured and a matrix
output. All three outputs on the module include push-buttons to select fully balanced
Insert point, MUTE, VCA enable, and Talkback. The two subgroups also have a bal-
anced inject point and phase reversible outputs.
Each output features post fader metering. A 60mm fader controls the group output
level, whereas the matrix level is adjusted using a rotary pot. The Matrix sends in
mono to the Listen bus post fader while the output groups have a more comprehen-
sive listen facility.
A signal can be sent pre/post fader or pre-insert. When sending in mono the signal is
sent to the Listen bus in mono as normal. If the module is sending in stereo, pressing
both A & B Listen buttons simultaneously sends a true stereo signal to the Listen
bus. If only one of the buttons is pressed, a mono signal is sent to the Listen bus.
Each of the 3 Output groups has direct access to the stereo bus and the L-C-R-fea-
ture with full panning. Sends from the output groups to the matrix can be pre/post
fader with individual sends on dual concentric pots.
NOTE: The module mother-board is fitted with two jumpers. The position of each of
the jumpers is determined by the selected group and matrix (see Appendix
B. Jump-
ers to select Output and Matrix )
