IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE AVIS: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE. NE PAS OUVRIR These symbols are internationally accepted symbols that warn of potential hazards with electrical products. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] This mute switch can be controlled by the snapshot automation system. Safe - The safe switch removes the matrix mute from automation system control. Solo (split) - The solo split switch changes the matrix AFL solos from mono to stereo. Solo - The matrix solo switch sends the matrix signal to the AFL stereo and PFL mono busses and obeys the normal console solo behaviour. In solo add mode, input channels will take priority over matrix solos. Fader - The matrix fader allows the continuous adjustment of the matrix output levels from off (-inf) to +10dB. split solo solo 10 5 0 5 10 20 30 40 mute mute SAFE SOLO SAFE split dB 3-4 solo masters control VCA TALK INS VCA TALK INS solo 10 5 0 mute mute SAFE SOLO SAFE split 5 10 20 30 40 solo solo 10 5 0 5 10 20 30 40 dB dB matrix MIDAS XL0041 XL0041 matrix MIDAS Operators Manual- Page 29 Master Output Module Operators Manual- Page 30 Master Outputs MASTER R M L R MASTER M L RETURN SEND RETURN SEND RETURN SEND The Heritage 4000 main outputs are located on the rear of the console. Six (6) male XLR sockets conventionally wired are provided - two (2) each for Left, Right and Mono (centre). Six (6) balanced TRS quarter-inch jack sockets provide the send and return sockets for the master output inserts (two (2) for each Left, Right and Mono). master module Master Module l m-c +21+ +18+ +15+ +12+ +9+ +6+ +3+ 0 -3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-36+21+ +18+ +15+ +12+ +9+ +6+ +3+ 0 -3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-36- r Meter - The output LED bargraph meters monitor the peak master stereo output level (postfader) l m-c +21+ +18+ +15+ +12+ +9+ +6+ +3+ 0 -3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-36+21+ +18+ +15+ +12+ +9+ +6+ +3+ 0 -3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-36- r s o l o i n s o l o i n p l a c e Solo In Place - The solo in place switch sets the console to be in Solo In Place mode. In this mode, when a solo is made on the console all other channels are muted. Individual channels can be protected from this by enabling their channel mute safes. p l a c e direct inputs 0 0 +10 +10 level PRE insert MUTE SOLO left sum right level PRE insert MUTE SOLO 0 1 Direct Inputs direct inputs 0 0 +10 +10 +6 left sum right 2 0 +6 left sum right 3 0 +6 left sum right 4 0 Direct Input - The direct input level is continuously variable from off (-inf) to +10dB. The left and right direct inputs are summed into the left and right master signals (respectively) and can be used for effects returns, console linking, etc. . . The master mono also has a direct input which is intended for console linking only. Pre (insert) - When depressed, the direct input is combined with the main signal before the insert points. Otherwise, the direct input is combined with the main signal after the insert point return. Mute - When depressed, the direct input is muted from the master channel at all points. Solo - When pressed, the direct input is sent to the stereo AFL and the mono PFL busses and obeys the console's standard solo behaviour. When the console is in solo ADD mode, input channels take priority over this solo. Matrix Send - Each of the H4000's eight mono matrix busses can be sent from the master stereo and mono channels. The inner ring of the dual-concentric pot sends from the master mono and is continuously variable from off (-inf) to +6dB. The outer ring of the dual-concentric pot outputs either from the left channel, right channel or as a mono sum of the left and right channels (switch selectable). The amount sent to the matrix is then continuously variable from off (-inf) to +6dB. Pre (fader) - When depressed, signal is routed to the matrix before the main fader. [. . . ] When setting up a multiple console system it is recommended that programming is done from the start with all consoles linked. This is to avoid recalling a scene that does not exist on a slave console. If this is done you will see a warning message on the Master indicating that the scene does not exist and prompting for confirmation at which point the master will recall the required scene but the slave will remain on the last existing scene recalled. MIDI may only be stored locally on a console, if you wish to program midi outs on slave console you must first make this the master or stand alone ( this will be described later) and then program your midi out messages as normal.
