Normally, only one of the four input sources
is selected for monitoring. For special appli-
cations, the system can be configured to
allow two input sources to be simulta-
neously monitored. The control room level
is adjusted using a smooth-feeling rotary
potentiometer. The Dim button allows the
control room level to be temporarily re-
duced. The Mono button allows the sum
(L+R) of the selected source to be sent as
the control room output.
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 amplifiers.
Dub Output
A stereo line-level output is provided
as a dub (copy) output. Any of the four
inputs 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 configured, the head-
phone source and connects communica-
tions audio. The audio level of each
communications function is individually
adjustable.
