1 Sub-group Meter. There are
8 peak reading sub-group
meters - 1 for each sub-group
output.
2 Ov e r I n d i c a t o r. W h e n
illuminated the signal is in
danger of being clipped and
the level should be reduced.
Like the main meters this
will illuminate with a signal
level of +20dBu. 0dBFS is
indicated at a level of +18dBu,
which normally corresponds
to full modulation on a digital
recorder.
3 0VU. When the signal is at
a level of +4dBu the bars
should be illuminated up to
this point. Note that this is not
meant to be normal operating
level because the meters are
peak reading.
THE Sub-group/
LINE INPUT 17-24
METERS
There 8 sub-group outputs meters
on the console (only 2 have been
shown for clarity). The sub-groups
are accessed in parallel with the
main bus outputs and only the
first 8 buses therefore have a
corresponding sub-group.
The sub-groups are able to feed the
stereo mix and also have their own
outputs located on the rear panel of
the console.
The sub-group outputs can be
directly used to feed a DAW or
other recording device.
The sub-group insert returns can
also be used to access line inputs
17-24, which share access to the
same routing and level controls as
the sub-groups themselves.
A typical use for the sub-groups
would be during mixdown when
a number of signals are to be
combined to one fader for simpler
control. If the signals are on the
LF path then they must rst of all
be sent to the routing matrix by
pressing the button in the routing
section. By routing the signals to
buses 1 through 8 they will also be
routed to the sub-groups.
