press the CR/Studio buttons that corre-
spond to inputs 1 through 7. After you
leave the configure mode, inputs config-
ured 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 –10dBV
or +4dBu. When the LED is off, the dub
output is set to –10dBV; when it’s on, the
dub output is configured for +4dBu. The
dub output on the front panel is in parallel
with the dub output on the back panel, so
one configure setting controls both. For
convenience, a green LED on the front
panel is provided that lights when the dub
output level is set to +4dBu. This means
you don’t have to use the configure mode
to determine the dub output level. And just
like the +4 Input Level LED for Input 7, the
+4 Dub Level LED does not reflect a
change until you exit the configure mode.
Dim Level
The dim function is used to reduce the
control room output level a preset amount
whenever you press the Dim button. You
can take a quick phone call without using
the level control to change the control
room level. Also, any time you press the
talk to studio, talk to phones, or slate
buttons the dim function is activated.
In the configure mode, LEDs 2 through 7
in the Dub column indicate the selected
dim level. Dim can only have a single
setting, so only one of the orange LEDs
is on at a time.
Row Number Dim Value (dB)
2 Mute
3 30
4 25
5 20
6 15
7 10
When the orange LED is on in row two, dim
will act as a full mute (no output). Dim is
down 30dB in row three, 25dB in row four,
and so forth. To change the dim level, hold
down the Dub button while pressing the
CR/Studio button of your choice.
Studio Source Selection
For space considerations, a separate push
button and column of LEDs is not provided
for studio source selection. The Model 51
is configured for either the studio source to
follow the control room source, or the
studio source to follow the headphone
source.
In configure mode, the red Studio On LED
tells you which function the studio source
will follow. When the LED is off, the studio
will follow the control room source; when
it’s on, the studio will follow the headphone
source. Press the Studio On button to
toggle the setting.
Mono Function
The Mono function allows the control room
output to be placed in the mono (L+R)
mode. When you’re in configure mode, the
red LED labeled Mono tells you whether
the Mono button works as a momentary or
latching button. When the button is set to
momentary, the LED will be off and mono
mode will only be active while you press
and hold the Mono button. When the LED
is on, the button is set to latch. With this
setting, you can press the Mono button
