The Configure button allows the Model
51 to go into the configure mode. While
in the configure mode, all the Model 51’s
buttons and LEDs are associated with
configure functions. Refer to the Model 51
Configuration Chart later in this section.
To enter the configure mode, press and
hold the Configure button for two sec-
onds. While in the configure mode, all
audio outputs switch off and the orange
LED beside the Configure button will
flash. As you make changes, the Model 51
keeps track of the new settings and up-
dates the system when you exit the con-
figure mode. You must exit the configure
mode before any changes take effect.
Input Sensitivity
The CR/Studio column of seven red LEDs
shows you whether an input is set to be
compatible with –10 dBV or +4 dBu signal
levels. When a red LED in the CR/Studio
column is off, it means the input is set to
–10 dBV. When lit, the corresponding input
is set to +4 dBu. Just press the CR/Studio
buttons to toggle inputs 1 through 7
between –10 dBV and +4 dBu.
For convenience, Input 7 is located on the
front panel of the Model 50. It has a green
LED beside it labeled +4 Input Level.
When lit, it tells you that Input 7 is set for
+4 dBu. This means each time you con-
nect a new signal to Input 7, you don’t
have to go into the configure mode to
determine the input sensitivity. You should
note, however, that configure settings
aren’t updated until you leave the con-
figure mode, so the +4 Input Level LED
won’t reflect a change until you exit.
Stereo/Mono Input
The Phones/Studio column of seven green
LEDs indicates whether an input is config-
ured for mono or stereo operation. When
an LED in this column is off, the input is
set for stereo; the LED on means the cor-
responding input is set for mono. In mono
mode, the left input is sent out both the
left and right outputs. To toggle a channel
between stereo and mono, press and hold
the Phones/Studio button and press the
CR/Studio buttons that correspond to in-
puts 1 through 7. After you leave the con-
figure mode, inputs configured for a mono
source will flash during normal operation.
Dub Output Level
The Dub column of orange LEDs will help
you configure two options: dub output
level and dim level. The orange LED in
the first row (number 1 at the top) tells you
whether the dub output is set to –10 dBV
or +4 dBu. When the LED is off, the dub
output is set to –10 dBV; when it’s on, the
dub output is configured for +4 dBu. The
dub output on the front panel is in parallel
with the dub output on the back panel, so
