[. . . ] The mute function can also be activated from the master section, via a mute group or MIDI snapshot. The SOLO switch can function as a PFL or, when Solo-in-place is engaged on the master section, can cause all other channels to mute while the soloed channel is heard `in situ' along with any associated effects. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS Inputs to the two stereo channels are via four balanced 1/4" jacks. STEREO INPUT CHANNEL All the Series TWO's frame sizes incorporate two stereo input channels, which are located just to the left of the master section and are designated as STE 1 and STE 2. Similar in operation to the mono channel, they provide that crucial additional flexibility required for complex live setups. INPUT SIGNAL METERING Just as the mono inputs, all four stereo inputs (L and R for each of STE 1 and STE 2) feature dedicated 12-segment LED bargraph input signal meters. INPUT STAGE The Series TWO's stereo input channels are designed for line level signals, and input gain is adjustable by a single rotary pot. Stereo rear panel connections Stereo input channel (2 included as standard with all frame sizes) Mono input channel Stereo input meters Mono input meter Stereo fader Mono fader Series TWO Master Section The Series TWO master section is positioned in the centre of the console, just to the right of the two stereo input channels. It provides final level controls for all console outputs, houses the four stereo returns, and contains controls for the 11x2 output matrix. STEREO RETURNS As well as the two fully-featured stereo input channels which are described earlier, the Series TWO also offers, as standard, four stereo returns which are ideal for introducing prerecorded sources or FX returns to the mix. The TILT control emphasises either the high or low end of the sound spectrum or, if left at its centre detent, has no effect. Routing is thoroughly comprehensive; all of the 8 Auxiliary busses can be accessed from 4 send pots (Aux 1/3, 2/4, 5/7, 6/8) which are shiftswitched in pairs to toggle between the former and latter of the designated busses. All the Group outputs and the main Stereo Mix outputs can be accessed via individual routing switches, while the 60mm fader is accompanied by LED-indicated MUTE and PFL switches. AUX MASTERS A bank of eight rotary master faders controls the final output levels of the Auxiliary busses. An AFL switch for each bus allows the output to be checked on the monitor and phones outputs. OUTPUT MATRIX The presence of the output matrix offers additional flexibility in the live mixing situation. It feeds two additional console outputs which can be sourced from any of 11 sources: the 8 Group outputs, either side of the Stereo Mix output, and the Mono bus. This feature is ideal for creating feeds for flown speaker systems or for other parts of the venue where different mixes are required. Two banks of 11 rotary faders govern the mix for the matrix, while master output rotary faders are provided with AFL facility. The connections are as per the table below. Stereo returns . . 1/4" jack (balanced) x 8 Group outputs . . 1/4" jack (balanced) x 8 Group inserts . . 1/4" jack (ring=send, tip=return) x 8 Left/Right/Mono out . . XLR (balanced) x 3 Left/Right/Mono inserts . [. . . ] Two Matrix outputs shall be provided, with each output receiving a contribution from each of the 8 Groups, Mix L, R and Mono (centre). The Matrix output shall be controlled by a master rotary fader with associated AFL switch. The Aux master section shall have a rotary master fader for each of the 8 Aux busses, and associated AFL switches for monitoring. The Master section shall have a 100mm stereo master fader which controls L and R Mix outputs, and a second 100mm fader controlling the Mono (centre) Mix output. [. . . ]
