Cleaning Use non-abrasive materials to clean the meterbridge window. The meterbridge window is polycarbonate, selected for its strength. However, the material is relatively soft. The exposed face is coated to increase abrasion resistance.

In mono (not Global level/pan) mode the Stereo Feed pots on a group module receive a mono sum of the L & R sides of the Stereo Input . This allows each of the two mono mixes to hear both sides of the stereo input. When a pair of groups are put into Level/Pan mode, the Stereo Feed pots are reconfigured to Level+Balance, allowing easy adjustment of the stereo feed to the stereo mix. Operation Special Features 1) Global Level/Pan 2) Solo system 3) Monitor outputs 4) Stereo Input 5) Channel Input Mic split 6) Line Inputs 7) Sub-grouping GLOBAL LEVEL/PAN Concept In live show monitor-mix production the work load is unpredictable. Sometimes you need a console with the maximum number of mono mix outputs. Sometimes you need a console having a combination of stereo mixes and mono mixes, sometimes the customers wants in-ear monitoring, sometimes wedges and fills. The LMx is easily configured, without module removal, to be any combination of straight mono mixes and stereo mixes, with in-ear monitoring, ambience input and user friendly features. One key to stereo mixing is input sends on level+pan controls, because sorting out separate level pots for the L & R sides demands too much effort. All the Input channel sends on LMX are re-configurable as either level pots or level and pan pot pairs for stereo mixing. Sixteen sends are presented as dual concentric pots in eight pairs, 1/2. . . . . . . . . 15/16. The remaining six sends are each single pots, ideal for straight mono mixing, and that may be reconfigured as three more stereo mixes 17/18. . . . . . . 21/22. When in `mono' mode the dual concentric pots work as separate level controls to two mixes. In `stereo' mode the inner control works as the send level, the outer control is the pan. Start with this control set at 50% rotation (center position). SOLO SYSTEM Solo Types Selection of PFL or AFL source is made by remote switching from the MASTER module. One stereo solo mix is summed in the MASTER module. Mono sources are reproduced in both sides, Stereo sources are automatically assigned in stereo. Mono sources are reproduced in both sides, Stereo sources are automatically assigned in stereo. The SOLO TYPE switch (Master module) controls the selection of AFL or PFL source. Solo Response Starting with a clear console, when the first SOLO is selected three things occur at the same time: 1. Audio from Solo source(s) is added to the Solo audio mix buses. [. . . ] An associated LED illuminates when the switch is down. HPF Frequency Control This knob adjusts the high pass filter frequency from 20Hz to 400Hz. The filter operates at a -12 dB per octave rate. Equalizer Controls (Input) There are two knobs for each of the four bands. The inner knob controls the boost or cut; while the outer knob controls the center frequency adjusted by the inner knob. These center frequencies are printed on the chassis around the outer knob.
