User manual ELECTRO-VOICE LEGEND 3000 POCKET GUIDE

[. . . ] Midas has been designing and manufacturing live performance mixing consoles for the world's most demanding sound engineers, performers and production rental companies since the early 1970s. The evolution of Midas consoles throughout the 35-year history of this classic marque has always paralleled, and often led, increasingly sophisticated audio innovations for the world-wide entertainment technology industry. Raising the standards of sonic quality through continual research and development has always been - and still remains - our overall aim. Equally important to us is the design and implementation of many new areas of control functionality and user-friendly desk operation to anticipate and accommodate the rapidly changing and expanding needs of audio professionals who specify Midas consoles for their major tours, festivals, international events, broadcast projects and prestigious fixed installations. [. . . ] Solo on/off latching is as per the input section. MATRIX SECTION This section includes metering for the Masters and Solo Monitors. Meter selection defaults to Master L, C, R and Ambient input, but when a Solo is active, the meters show FOH Solo L, C, R and Monitor Solo levels. If the Solo is monitored pre fade, the meters also follow this selection. Matrix metering is accommodated in the Mix output section. MATRIX SEND controls (1 to 8) set the levels sent from the Group outputs to the matrix busses while the LEFT/RIGHT rotary controls provide continuous adjustment of the levels sent from left and right master outputs to the matrix busses. A CENTRE (mono) rotary control sets the levels sent from the mono master output to the matrix busses. An EXT input is summed on to the matrix buss and has its own level control. The MUTE switch mutes the matrix post level control signals and can be controlled from snapshot automation. The SOLO switch sends matrix signals to the MON PFL/AFL busses and the FOH PFL/AFL stereo busses. Solo on/off latching is as per the input section. MASTER SECTION The BALANCE control functions as a buss left/right balance trim for the pre-insert left and right master signal paths. The stereo master MUTE switches (which are not linked to the snapshot system) cut the post fader output signals. The mono master MUTE switch (which is not linked to the snapshot system) cuts the post fader output signal fader. The two master FADERS control the output levels of the main mix over the range +10dB to off. The master module includes the Aux Return master controls plus metering for the Group, Stereo Return or Matrix signals. Source selection is via the Meter Selector assign switches on the mix module. A 4-band, semi-parametric equaliser is available in the stereo effects return signal path. AUX controls (1 to 12) provides continuous adjustment of the level sent from the corresponding stereo effects return to the Aux busses and Aux busses may be globally assigned to derive their signals from the FOH signal path or the MON signal path. The returns have level controls, pans and Mute switches and the MONO switch routes the post fader stereo effects return signal to the mono master buss. [. . . ] A RS-232 connection is supplied on the rear panel of Helix for this purpose, and up to 64 channels of Helix can be interconnected using standard microphone cables. It's all the EQ you will ever need, as fast as you need it. Options & Features CAN Bus CAN was originally used as the communication device for engine management systems in the automotive industry. Due to its rugged and reliable nature it is the perfect system to allow Legend and Heritage consoles to communicate with each other. Any mixture of Legend or Heritage series console may be linked in this manner. [. . . ]
