Remote Level Control
Two configuration choices are associated
with the remote level control function:
Disabled and enabled. To utilize the func-
tion, simply configure it for enabled; the
factory default is for remote level control to
be disabled.
Warning: It is imperative that the
wiring of the remote level control be
carefully implemented before the
function is enabled. To not do so
risks damage to the monitor loud-
speakers and, more importantly, the
ears of listeners.
Channels Selected for Bypass
Each monitor output channel can be
configured to either mute, or connect to its
associated bypass input signal when the
bypass function is active. How the chan-
nels are configured simply depends on
which bypass input channels have signals
connected to them.
A special mode has been included to allow
the bypass function to be disabled from
operation. To disable the bypass function,
simply select both output channels to mute
during bypass. The factory default configu-
ration has the bypass function disabled.
Bypass Mode
The bypass mode can be configured to
operate in one of three modes: Monitor
output A only, monitor output B only, or
follow the state of the monitor output A/B
button. The first two modes cause their
respective monitor outputs to be active
when in the bypass mode.
Note that even if the monitor output mode
is configured for A only, setting the bypass
mode to monitor output B only will cause
Any level reduction required to prevent
“buildup” needs to be done externally.
The insert send continues to be active.
A special mode has been included to
allow an insert section to be disabled
from operation. This is accomplished
by configuring all eight channels associ-
ated with each insert section to mode 2,
maintain normal signal flow. With this
configuration an operator can press the
associated insert button “till the cows
come home” and the function will never
activate. This is another attempt at making
the Model 591 “idiot proof.” The factory
default configuration has the two insert
functions disabled.
Monitor Output Mode
While the Model 58 Central Controller
supports the connection of two sets of
monitor loudspeakers, often only the A
output will be used. The monitor output
A/B select button on the Model 591 Con-
trol Console can be disabled, preventing
an operator from selecting output B. Only
the A LED will be lit, and the button will be
inactive. The factory default configuration
is for monitor output to follow A/B select.
Power-up Mute Mode
By factory default, upon application of AC
mains power the monitor outputs remain
muted until a power-up sequence has
been performed. Then the monitor outputs
are returned to their respective states as
left at the time of the previous loss of AC
mains power. There may be special uses
where having the monitor output channels
remain muted until an operator manually
presses the mute all button is desired.
Use the configuration button to select the
desired power-up mute-all operation.
