[. . . ] The factory default is post-mute and pre-fade. 13 18 Input Module Stereo Mix 19 The post-fader signal is sent to the stereo mix bus via the L/R (level) and PAN controls. The PAN control gives a 4. 5dB centre drop. The mix bus send is activated by the ON switch, which has an integral green LED, and may be set pre- or post-fade by the PRE switch. The pre-fade signal may be sourced from one of the following three options: · · · post-mute and pre-fade pre-mute pre-EQ and pre-insert The source selection is done using push-on jumpers. The output module contains two group output sections, stacked one above the other. The lower sections control groups 1 - 8, while the upper sections control groups 9 - 16. The two sections have identical facilities. Level Control The group summing amp is assigned to one of the sixteen group buses using internal 0. 1" push-on jumpers. 1 The 100mm Fader controls the level of the signal from the summing amplifier, which is fed to the insert send, with 10dB of gain at maximum. 13 2 8 11 12 5 7 9 6 1 10 Insert Point 2 The insert point is post-fade, and uses an electronically balanced send and return at a nominal level of +4dBu. The insert SEND and RETURN are on separate 1/4" jacks on the rear connector panel. The insert point may be bypassed using the INSERT OUT switch. An integral red LED indicates when the insert point is bypassed. Note that the send is always active Solo 3 The electronically latching AFL switch, which has an integral amber LED, feeds the post-fade, post-insert group signal to the engineer's wedge speakers and phones output; however, if INPUT PRIORITY (see the Master Module) is enabled then any active input PFLs will replace the AFL signal, and the group will not be heard until the inputs are un-PFLed. 12 The MNO (mono) switch sums the external signal to mono before it is fed to the stereo mix. 13 The latching ON switch activates the external input. An integral green LED indicates when it is on. 14 The LSTN (listen) provides a mono pre-fade, pre-ON solo to the 'phones or wedge output. LISTEN is not affected by the AUTO CANCEL or SOLO CLEAR functions, and overrides any output AFLs if INPUT PRIORITY is active. Using the Solo System A solo system of pre-fade listen (inputs) and post-fade listen (outputs) feeds the operator's wedge/'phones outputs. Normally, all active AFL, PFL and LISTEN signals are summed together and fed to the wedge or phones outputs. When INPUT PRIORITY is selected by the ENBL switch, which has an integral red LED, an active PFL or LISTEN will replace any AFL signals, which will be audible only when all the PFL/LISTENs are released. 15 The PFL TRIM control gives +/-10dB of level trim for PFL/LISTEN signals. The SOLO CLEAR button lights when any AFL, PFL or LISTEN is active. Pressing it will clear a PFL or AFL, but not a LISTEN. When AUTO CANCEL is activated by the ENBL button, which has an integral red LED, any AFL or PFL will cancel any currently active solo, so only one AFL or PFL can be active at once. LISTEN buttons are not affected. Master Module 31 RS5512 LAMP 31 OSCILLATOR ON External Solo Signals The PFL, AFL Left and AFL Right external inputs, from XLRs on the lower rearcon, allow signals from another console to be added to the PFL and AFL buses. The external PFL level is trimmed by the PFL TRIM pot. When no solos are active on the console, both PFL and AFL left and right external signals are monitored by the 'phones and wedge.
