pressed and released quickly, they are latching, but if
pressed and held, they are non-latching. Indicators
show the active status of these keys.

Slate settings

The DM-24 allows you to define the “slate”—the
destination of the talkback microphone.

From the

MONITOR

screen, press the third soft key

(

OSC/COM

) to bring up the oscillator and slate setting

screens.

Use the

SLATE

panel in this screen to choose which

aux sends, output busses and stereo channels will be
included in the slate.

Use the cursor keys to move along the row, and the

ENTER

key to include and uninclude the busses,

Lineup oscillator

The DM-24 includes a lineup oscillator, which can be
assigned in the same way as the slate output.

In addition to being able to choose the outputs to
which the oscillator is sent, POD 1 allows the oscilla-
tor frequency to be selected (

100Hz

,

440Hz

,

1kHz

or

10kHz

).

The level of the oscillator is also variable (POD 2)
from

–36.0dBFS

to

0.0dBFS

in 0.5dB steps.

Use soft key 1 to turn the oscillator on (button is in
inverse video) and off.

Meters and faders

As well as the stereo meters, the DM-24 provides on-
screen metering for all modules in the console.

With the

SHIFT

indicator unlit, press the

METER/

FADER

key.

The following screen shows the metering for the
input channels:

The

METERING POINT

for channels 1 through 32

(

CHANNEL

) can be set as

INPUT

(before the digital trim

and after the input selection),

PRE

(pre-fader and

before any assignable send/return insert), or

POST

(post-fader, and post any assignable send/return
insert).

The

MASTER

(aux sends, busses, stereo) metering

point can also be set:

INPUT

(buss level, before any

compressor insertion),

PRE

(pre-fader and post any

compressor insertion), and

POST

(post fader).

Since only 24 channels can be shown on screen at
once, there is a choice of what will be metered on
screen at any one time: either the 24 track returns, the
