Trident 68 Input Channel Group Assignment
Channel Signal
Indicators
+10 – Indicates RED
when the channel signal level has
reached +14dBu (+10 VU)
-20 – Indicates GREEN
when the channel signal level has
reached -16dBu (-20 VU)
The channel indicator signal source
can be selected pre or post the channel
fader through an option available on
the input module circuit board.
(Note: Signal headroom available
on the input module is +22dBu and
when the +10 indicator illuminates
the signal level is approaching 6 to
8 dB before clipping when just flash-
ing red with signal peaks).
These are extremely useful features
and provide a constant indication
that a signal is present in the module
(green LED) and that the signal peak
is being reached (red LED).
SOLO
When pressed, routes the channel
AFL or PFL (see AFL/PFL Select
above) signal to the Solo bus. Addi-
tionally this switches the Main Mon-
itor Output (normally fed the Left/
Right Mix) to source the signal from
the AFL/PFL Master Level in the
Master section as well as to trigger
LED indicators in the Master section
and Meter-Bridge stating a solo has
been pressed.
BUS ASSIGNMENTS
Assigns the Channel post-fader sig-
nal to the Left and Right mix buses
through the Channel Pan Control.
With the Channel Pan control in mid
position, the signal will be fed to Left
and Right busses in equal amounts.
If the Channel Pan Control is posi-
tioned fully anti-clockwise (left) the
channel signal will only feed Left bus
and when positioned fully clockwise
(right), the signal will only feed Right bus.
Sometimes referenced as the Main
mix or Remix bus assignment. In a
multi-track studio environment, this
L-R assignment and the Channel
Monitor Input allow the user to have
two separate external inputs (Chan-
nel Mic/Line and Monitor return) that
can be sent to the Left and Right mix
busses, eectively doubling your in-
puts on mixdown (Remix)
AFL/PFL Select
Selects the channel source feed that
will be fed to solo bus when the
Channel SOLO is pressed. UP - solo
system is fed from the channel post
fader/post pan pot point and is a ste-
reo signal that follows the pan pot.
This allows the user to monitor the
channel in the solo system and to
see its contribution to the mix.
Down - solo system is fed from the
channel pre fader point and is a
mono source. This allows the user to
monitor the signal in the solo system
before the channel fader/mute, al-
lowing the user to check the signal
in the channel without being routed
to any output buses.
1-2 Group Assignment
Assigns the Channel post-fader signal
to the Group 1 and 2 mix buses through
the Channel Pan Control. With the
Channel Pan control in mid position,
the signal will be fed to Group 1 and 2
in equal amounts. If the Channel Pan
Control is positioned fully anti-clock-
wise (left) the channel signal will only
feed Group 1 and when positioned fully
clockwise (right), the signal will only
feed Group 2.
3-4 Group Assignment
Assigns the Channel post-fader signal
to Group 3 and 4 mix buses through
the Channel Pan Control. Operation is
the same as the 1-2 Group assignment.
5-6 Group Assignment
Assigns the Channel post-fader signal
to Group 5 and 6 mix buses through
the Channel Pan Control. Operation is
the same as the 1-2 Group assignment.
7-8 Group Assignment
Assigns the Channel post-fader signal
to Group 7 and 8 mix buses through
the Channel Pan Control. Operation is
the same as the 1-2 Group assignment.
