[. . . ] owners manual V12 mixing console mono input module direct output features This section is intended for use in Front of House operations to provide a controlled feed to an external tape machine. It may also be used as a localized effects send or monitor output. When the console is being used for monitor mixing operations, this output is used as a dedicated send to the Matrix section to generate custom versions of the Matrix mix for monitor use by secondary artists such as horn sections or backing vocals. DIRECT OUTPUT CONNECTOR - XLR Balanced Output - rear-panel mode switch When not depressed, all controls within this block affect the direct output connector. [. . . ] This switch will affect the Left/Right/Mono send to all 12 matrix modules. matrix-post switch Changes the individual left/right/mono to matrix source from the normal pre level location to a post level send. This switch will affect the left/right/mono send to all 12 matrix modules (8 mono, 4 stereo). mono to sum-output switch Will assign the post fader Mono (Center) signal to the SUM OUTPUT XLR rear panel Connector. L-R to sum-output switch Will assign the post fader left and right signals to the SUM OUTPUT XLR rear panel connector. L-R to mono switch Assigns the post (Internal Jumper for Pre) left and right signal to the Mono Mix Bus. p. 30 input fader block LOWER MODULE CONSTRUCTION act LED (µ-mute) This red LED lites whenever a Mute command is issued from the Micro. This can be from any of the Sequenced or Manual Mute Scenes or from a received MIDI Note command. Whether or not the channel responds to that mute command is determined by the status of two SAFE switches:the global Input Micro Safe switch (near master faders), or the channel Mute Safe switch. mute safe This switch "safes" the channel from external mute commands (micro, VCA, SIP). By default, the VCA and Solo-In-Place (SIP) mute commands are safed, but there are two jumpers located on each fader circuit board to exclude each of them. The micro mute commands (Man Mute, Seq Scene or MIDI mutes) are always affected by the safe. act LED (VCA) This red LED lights whenever a mute command is coming from an assigned VCA. Each VCA Master has an associated Mute switch. When depressed, any channels assigned to that VCA Master will go to a fader fulldown condition (max attenuation), and the channel mute will be activated. A jumper in the VCA Master fader block can defeat the mute function; in that case, the channels still go to fader full-down, but the channel mute is not activated. VCA assign These 12 lit switches are used to assign a channel to any of the 12 VCA Masters. The channel gain is controlled by the sum of the voltages of the local fader and any of the assigned VCA Masters. The VCA control circuitry is designed so that even if a channel is assigned to all 12 masters, and those masters are all at +10dB boost (total of +120dB theoretical gain!), the local fader (or any Master fader) , when pulled down, has enough electrical over-travel to fully attenuate the channel. Furthermore, the control voltage is electrically limited to a maximum of +20dB gain to prevent excessive channel boost. p. 31 stereo matrix / aux out module stereo-matrix features This section is intended for use in Front of House operations to provide a matrixed stereo mix to dedicated locations. When the console is being used for monitor mixing operations, this section can be used as a matrixed stereo mix to feed generic mixes to various stage locations. When teamed with an external patch from an input modules direct output connectors to the external input of the matrix module, a customized mix can be generated for supporting artists such as horn or background vocal sections. This is accomplished by mixing the artists individual microphone input with up to 11 generic analog group mixes. MATRIX OUTPUT CONNECTORS - XLR Balanced INSERT SEND AND RETURN MATRIX CONNECTORS - SEPARATE left and right 1/4" Balanced Send and Return connectors. EXTERNAL MATRIX INPUT CONNECTORS - Separate left and Right XLR Balanced inputs. left to matrix Controls the amount of Left signal fed to the matrix output. Signal is sourced pre or post fader as determined by a Pre/Post switch within the master fader bay located next to Left/Right/Mono output faders. [. . . ] Password comes up as last option in Utility menu by default. If no password is currently set, SET_PSWORD shows in the upper display and the STORE key is lit. Pressing STORE changes upper display to ENTR_PSWRD and the lower display to PSWRD=????. RR keys 1-10 are used to enter the password, 4 digits only. [. . . ]
