MASTER & MONITOR
LAMP
Plug in a standard 12V “gooseneck” lamp to provide illumination of the
control panel. This should be a BNC connector type with a current
consumption of no more than 350mA.
2-TRACK RECORD AND REPLAY
Individual RCA phono sockets are provided for connecting a 2-track
stereo recorder such as a cassette or DAT machine. Connect the
recorder input (REC) connectors to the console SEND sockets and the
recorder output (PLAY) connectors to the RETURN sockets
Separate SEND and RETURN level controls adjust the signal to the
required line level and sensitivity. The console can work with both high
(+4dBu) and low (-10dBV) level equipment.
Alternatively the RETURN inputs may be used for stereo intermission
replay from a CD or similar to the main mix by pressing REPLAY TO L-
R. An LED warns that replay is selected.
The SEND may be used for recording or broadcasting the performance
in stereo, or to feed an alternative set of speakers, or drive an induction
loop hearing aid system. The send outputs are post L-R faders as
standard.
PHONES MONITOR AND BARGRAPH METERS
Use stereo headphones with a nominal impedance of 30 to 600 ohms.
Adjust the LEV control for a comfortable listening level. The phones and
the 12 segment bargraph normally meter the post fade L-R mix or the
two track return depending on the position of the L-R/2TRK switch.
Pressing any AFL/PFL button on the console will override the monitor
with the selected AFL/PFL signal. A large red LED located below the
meters indicates a PFL or AFL selection.
MONO OUTPUT
The MONO OUT / AFL/PFL switch sources the signal from either a
summed post-fader L-R mix or the AFL/PFL mix. When MONO OUT is
selected, the MONO output provides for a centre fill or sub-bass
loudspeaker, mono recording or broadcast feed. When AFL/PFL is
selected, you can feed a stage monitor engineer’s listen wedge.
This switch is recessed to avoid accidental operation. Use a pointed
object or pen tip to operate.
MAIN L-R OUTPUTS
MUTE switches the main mix signal off when pressed regardless of
fader position. Muted outputs are indicated by red LEDs.
AFL (After Fade Listen) routes the post fader mix signal to the console
meters and headphone monitoring to allow checks for sound quality and
mix level. The AFL signal is sourced before the MUTE switch allowing
the signal to be checked even when the mix signal is muted.
L-R FADERS - Individual 100mm faders adjust the main L-R mix level
with +10dB boost available above the nominal ‘0’ position. For best
performance the faders should be operated around the ‘0’ position for
normal ‘loud’ level. If you find yourself operating significantly below ‘0’
then the amplifier or recorder input is too sensitive for the console +4dBu
output. Simply turn down the amplifier or recorder level trim. If none is
available then insert an attenuator pad between the console and
connected equipment.
