MUTE

All outputs from the channel except inserts are on when the MUTE switch is released

and muted when the switch is down, allowing levels to be pre-set before the before

the signal is required. The only exception to the muting is any DIRECT OUTPUT

configured as PRE-fade, which will be sent regardless of the status of the mute switch.

INPUT CHANNEL FADER

The 100mm FADER, with a custom-designed law to give even smoother control of the

overall signal level in the channel strip, allows precise balancing of the various source

signals being mixed to the Master Section. You get most control when the input GAIN

is set up correctly, giving full travel on the fader. See the `Initial Set Up’ section on

page 23 for help in setting a suitable signal level.

DIRECT PRE/POST

This button switches the Direct Ouput to be set pre or post the channel fader. In the

UP position it is POST and in the DOWN position it is PRE.

PFL (Pre-Fade Listen)

When the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade signal is fed to the headphones,

control room output and meters, where it replaces the MIX. The PFL/AFL LED on the

Master section illuminates to warn that a PFL is active. This is a useful way of listening

to any required input signal without interrupting the main mix, for making adjustments

or tracing problems. When PFL is pressed anywhere on the console, the Control Room

outputs automatically switch from monitoring the Mix Outputs.

SIGNAL PRESENT LED

This LED will light when the channel signal exceeds -20dBu.

PEAK LED

This LED will light when the signal peaks (+18dBu internal). There is a three point sig-

nal analysis, and if the signal peaks at any of these points then the LED will light:

a) PRE-EQ

b) POST-EQ

c) POST-FADE
