associated LEDs, work together to provide
excellent flexibility. The mute/solo mode
button allows the operator to select be-
tween industry-standard mute and solo
functions. The mute and solo functions
use the mute relays in the Model 58 units
to enable or disable output channels.
Going from mute mode to solo mode,
or vice-versa, clears all active mutes or
solos. Pressing the mode button twice is
a legitimate means of quickly clearing
muted or soloed channels.
In the mute mode, multiple channels can
be muted simultaneously. A channel that
is muted has its associated LED turned
on. In the solo mode multiple channels
can be soloed simultaneously. A channel
that is soloed has its associated LED flash
on and off, while the LEDs of the non-
soloed channels are not lit.
Note that output channels which have
been configured to be disabled cannot
be muted or soloed. This ensures that
an operator only has access to the avail-
able monitor output channels. Unsup-
ported channels will have their LEDs
permanently off.
Bypass Function
To enter the bypass mode, press and hold
the mute all button for 2 seconds. All LEDs
will stop lighting, except those associated
with mute all and A/B output select. The
mute all LED will activate with a “double
flash” pattern to indicate that bypass is
active. Depending on how the system was
configured, the A/B output button may, or
may not, function during bypass mode.
Note if the bypass function has been
disabled, pressing and holding the mute
all button will have no effect.
To exit the bypass mode, press and hold
the mute all button for 2 seconds. Normal
operation will then resume.
Remote Controls
Two contact signals and a potentiometer
can be connected to the system and
configured for the desired operating char-
acteristics. Contact input 1 can be config-
ured for remote mute all or remote dim.
Contact input 2 can be configured for
remote insert 1, remote insert 2, or remote
bypass. The remote level control function
allows a way of remotely controlling the
monitor output level.
When remote mute all is activated the LED
on the Model 59 associated with mute all
will flash. If mute all was already active
when the remote mute all function is
activated, the LED will change from being
lit to flashing. The remote activity LED on
the Model 59 will flash simultaneously as
confirmation of a remote control signal
being active.
When remote dim is activated the LED
on the Model 59 associated with the dim
function will flash. If dim was already
active when remote dim is activated, the
LED will change from being lit to flashing.
The remote activity LED on the Model 59
will flash simultaneously as confirmation
of a remote control signal being active.
When remote insert 1 is activated the LED
on the Model 59 associated with insert 1
will flash. The remote activity LED on the
Model 59 will flash simultaneously as
confirmation of a remote control signal
being active.
When remote insert 2 is activated the LED
on the Model 59 associated with insert 2
will flash. The remote activity LED on the
