Meter Output
The meter output provides a stereo output
that “follows” the source(s) selected for the
control room. The signal is not affected
by the control room level circuitry, but is
“post-mono.” The meter output is intended
to be connected to VU- or PPM-type meter
panels that contain series current-limiting
resistors or input buffer amplifi ers.
Dub Output
A stereo line-level output is provided as
a dub (copy) output. Any of the four in-
puts can be assigned to the dub output.
The slate function allows communications
(voice) audio to be sent out the dub output.
Communications Functions
The Model 56 Control Console contains
an internal microphone that is used in
conjunction with the two communications
functions. The talk to phones function
either interrupts the phones source or adds
(sums or mixes) to the phones source. The
slate function interrupts the dub source
and, if confi gured, the headphone source
and connects communications audio. The
audio level of each communications func-
tion is individually adjustable.
MIDI Control
All Model 55 Central Controller functions
are controlled using system-exclusive
MIDI messages. The Model 56 Control
Console “speaks” this language, and in
most applications a Model 56 will be
utilized. In special applications the Model
55 Central Controller can be connected
directly to a MIDI bus, allowing the creation
of a fully automated recording or audio
routing system. For more information
on MIDI support, refer to Appendix A.
