Panel organization
This 2RU panel is organized as shown in the illustration above. There are 14 LCD buttons, num-
bered from 1 to 14, left to right. The buttons are color coded and each displays 3 lines of text and
graphics, typically the source device, a balance indicator, and gain.
• Selection buttons
These 8 buttons are toggles that select channels in gain or balance mode.
These 8 buttons and the two function buttons (9 and 10) function as category and device selec-
tion buttons in source selection mode.
• Function buttons
These 2 buttons depend on the selected panel mode:
• In gain control mode, button 9 sets selected channels to unity gain. Button 10 switches the
panel to balance control mode.
• In balance control mode, button 9 centers the balance of selected channels. Button 10
switches the panel to gain control mode.
• In source selection mode, both of these buttons support category and device selection.
• Master volume knob
In gain and balance control modes, the master volume knob adjusts the total gain of the channel
mix.
In source selection mode, the master volume knob scrolls through source categories and device
IDs.
• Mode and information section
The four buttons in this section change depending on the panel mode. In gain and balance con-
trol modes:
• Button 11 shows the panel’s master gain value in dB.
• Button 14 lets you change the panel’s output from stereo to mono and vice versa.
• In source selection mode:
• Button 11 lets you select a mixer input to which you want to assign a source.
• Button 14 has no assigned function. It remains off.
• Button 12 lets you change mode. Button 13 shows the panel mode.
• Rotary encoder knobs
The 8 rotary encoders depend on the panel mode. Each affects the channel directly above it.
• In gain mode, they adjust the gain of the stereo source.
• In balance mode, they adjust the source’s left/right balance.
Important
A channel need not be selected for its associated encoder to adjust its gain
or balance.
