Mixing with VCA's Adapted from "Mixing with VCA's, " by Mark Smith, in LIVE SOUND! [. . . ] Center frequencies are indicated around the upper knob. EQ IN Switch w/LED 5 10 5 9 10 5 6 7 8 9 10 5 6 7 8 9 10 5 6 7 8 9 M U T E G R O U P S A D Inserts the EQ section into both L and R input channel signals at once. An associated green LED illuminates when the switch is down. 6 15 20 30 40 60 AUX SENDS 1- 8 indiv. level controls The Aux Individual Level Controls send a summed (L+R) signal to the AUX outputs. These Push-On/Push Off pots adjust signal level sent to respective Aux buses. Pushing the switch down turns the send on or off. An associated two color LED indicates status: OFF indicates an 'off' state; GREEN indicates the Aux send is on, and not muted; RED indicates the Aux send is on, but muted. The signal source for these mixes may be selected (by Aux bus) to be pre or post fader by GLOBAL switches located in the Vx Master section. 7 8 SAFE LR BAL PAGE 14 CENTURY SERIES STEREO Switch w/LED Like the AUX 1-6 controls, AUX 7&8 Individual Level Controls normally send a summed (L+R) signal to the AUX outputs. When the STEREO switch is depressed, AUX 7 and 8 become a send `left' and `right' send respectively. This can be used for a stereo effects send. CPL 1288 L&R PEAK & SIG LEDs Input level metering for the L and R channels. The green signal LEDs turn on at about -30dB and brighten with increasing level. Red peak LEDs turn on 3dB before overload and show the levels post-fader, pre-fader and at the preamp output. WIDTH Control / Balance Dual concentric control pair. The right side takes that mix and processes it as a stereo source into the Vx. The right side (called Multi Master) is similar to a regular Vx Stereo Input module, except that the Input Gain pot and switches are replaced by a mix trim stereo level control. Panel controls (each of four identical inputs) CPL 1288 MIC input selector for the L & R Input XLRs. The default (with the switch released) is Line Input sensitivity and gain. +48V phantom power ON-OFF switch for the input XLRs. Active only when MIC source selected. PAD switch for introducing 15dB attenuation between the XLRs and the preamp. GAIN dual- concentric control pair for the stereo preamp. ON-OFF switch with indicator for the preamp output to the stereo sub-mix. L & R assign switches for the preamp output to the stereo sub-mix. For normal Stereo output release both switches. Use either L or R alone to send one side of the input to both sides of the mix. Select both switches for a mono mix of both inputs to the stereo mix. SIGNAL indicators for L & R audio, bi-color indication: normal level = green; overload = red. PFL switches with indicators for the L & R inputs. Rear panel connections Insrt Snd (Left/Right) This balanced 1/4" TRS jack allows for the Left and Right multiple input module output signals to be sent to effects or signal processors. Insrt Rtrn (Left/Right) This balanced 1/4" TRS jack allows for the return of the effected and/or processed signal back into the multiple input module. Bal Input (L/R) A, B, C, D These balanced XLR connectors accept input signals for the A, B, C, and D stereo inputs of the multiple input module.

Fully loaded Vx consoles have eight group modules. Group number is indicated on Solo switch. CPL 1288 FADER REV w/LED Swaps functions between the Matrix level control and the group fader; one becomes the other. Group Mono Assign Assigns the associated Group signal to the Mono bus. Group Meter Located on the meter bridge, it indicates the post-fader output level of the group. MATRIX Section Group L-R Assign Assigns the Group signal to the Left and Right buses. Matrix Pre/Post w/LED Switches the Matrix send between pre and post-fader settings. STR PGM Switch w/LED Normally, the signal sent to the Matrix by the L/R LEVEL TO MATRIX fader is the Left/Right bus signal.
