Controlling DCA groups
Use the DCA faders to control DCA groups.
Using DCA groups
Use the strip section to operate the DCA group.
• Level adjustment: Faders.... The level of the channels assigned to that DCA group
can be adjusted while preserving the level differences
of each channel. The input faders will not operate at
this time.
• On/Mute switch: [ON] key
......................................... When you press an [ON] key in the strip section to
make the key indicator go dark, the channels assigned
to that DCA group will be muted (the same state as
when the faders are lowered to the –∞ dB position).
• Cue monitor: [CUE] key ....... When you press the strip section [CUE] key to make it
light, the [CUE] keys of the channels assigned to that
DCA group will blink, and cue monitoring will be
enabled. For more information about cue, refer to
“Operating the Cue function” on page 92.
Mute group
QL series consoles feature eight mute groups.
Mute groups enable you to use USER DEFINED keys [1]–[12] to mute or unmute multiple
channels in a single operation. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously.
Mute groups 1–8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of
channels can exist in the same group.
Assigning channels to mute groups
As with the DCA group, there are the following two ways to assign channels to mute groups.
• You can select a specific mute group first and then specify the channels to be assigned to
the group.
• You can select a specific channel and then specify the mute group to which it should be
assigned.
Selecting the channels that will belong to a specific mute group
NOTE
• You may assign a single channel to more than one mute group.
• The DCA/MUTE GROUP field of the OVERVIEW screen indicates the mute group(s) to which
each channel is assigned. Numbers that are lit red in the lower line of this field indicate the mute
groups to which that channel belongs.
• If the dimmer level is set to any level other than –∞ dB, and the corresponding MUTE GROUP
MASTER button is turned on, these numbers will light orange.
For a channel for which the Mute Safe function (page 60) has been turned on, an “S” indicator
will light up green at the right end of the bottom row.
STEP
1. Assign input channels to DCA groups.
2. Using the faders in the Channel Strip section or Master section on the top panel,
adjust the relative balance between the input channels that belong to the DCA
group you want to use.
3. Use the Bank Select keys to select the [ST IN/DCA] key.
4. Use the Channel Strip section to operate the DCA group.
STEP
1. In the Function Access Area, press the CH JOB button.
2. Press the MUTE GROUP button in the CH JOB menu.
3. Use the mute group master buttons in the DCA/MUTE GROUP ASSIGN MODE
window to select the mute group to which you want to assign channels.
4. Press the [SEL] key for the input channels/output channels that you want to operate
(multiple selections are allowed).
