The StudioComm’s two insert sections
are directly accessible using push-button
switches. While they can perform a stan-
dard insert action, they can also be used
to provide a wide range of muting, routing,
and summing functions. Each insert can
be configured, on a per-channel basis, to
act in one of four modes: Mute, maintain
connection of the normal signal, insert the
return signal in place of the normal signal,
or sum the return signal with the normal
signal.
Control of individual monitor output chan-
nels is provided by the mute/solo section.
One push-button switch sets the operating
mode for either mute or solo. In the mute
mode, an individual channel can be muted
or unmuted as required. In the solo mode,
a channel can be monitored while the
other is automatically muted. The flexibility
of having both mute and solo available
allows an operator to quickly select the
most comfortable and productive operating
mode.
A major strength of the Model 591 is the
ability to configure, under software control,
many operating parameters. During initial
installation the Model 591 is “taught” how it
should function. All configuration param-
eters are stored in non-volatile memory.
The Model 591 Control Console connects
to the Model 58 Central Controller using
a standard 9-pin D-subminiature cable.
Power for the Model 591 is provided by
the Model 58. The Model 591 generates
MIDI system-exclusive messages to con-
trol the Model 58. Remote control signals
connect to the Model 58, then travel on
to the Model 591 via pins in the 9-pin
interconnecting cable.

vided: Contact input 1, contact input 2, and
