Attention!
Where applicable, the attention of the specifier, purchaser, installer or user is drawn to special limitations of use
which must be observed when these products are taken into service to maintain compliance with the above
directives. Details of these special measures and limitations to use are available on request and are available
in product manuals.
A Subsidiary of Telex communications, Inc.
A TTENTION!
The following special limitations apply to the console and must be observed in order to maintain safety and
electromagnetic compatibility performance:
POWER CONNECTION
The console should only be operated with the power supply connected to ground via its mains supply
connector.
CONTROL CONNECTIONS
The console should only be operated with high quality screened control cables. All connector shells should be
of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All ground
connections should be made as shown on the connections page (over leaf).
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The console should only be operated with high quality screened twisted pair audio cables. All connector shells
should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All
ground connections should be made as shown on the connections page (over leaf).
ELECTRIC FIELDS
If the console is operated in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal,
the signal to noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB may be experienced under extreme
conditions (3V/m, 90% modulation).
INSTALLATION
There are a number of points to consider when installing a mixing console. Many of these points will have
been addressed before the console is even unpacked but it is worth repeating them.
POSITION
The console should be located in a convenient space commensurate with the use to which the console is being
put. Ideally a cool area is preferred not in close proximity to power distribution equipment or other potential
sources of interference. Provision should be made for some flat surface surrounding the console to prevent
people using it as a table top.
POWER
The power supply should be located as far from the console as the connecting cable will allow. It should be
set for the appropriate line voltage and plugged into the mains outlets using the supplied cables.
THE POWER SUPPLY SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED
WITH THE MAINS EARTH DISCONNECTED
Please note that the power supply contains LETHAL VOLTAGES gr eatly in excess of the mains voltage and
that its rails can produce extremely large currents which could burn out equipment and wiring if shorted. All
testing and servicing should ONL Y be carried out by qualified engineers.
LEGEND 3000 CONNECTORS

The 48V switch connects 48 volt
phantom power to the XLR mic input
connector. This is suitable for a
condenser microphone or DI box. A
parallel line input is also provided via a
jack which is protected from application
of 48V .
There is a global disable for the 48V on
the T alk Back section -see page12.
The PAD switch gives 30dB of
attenuation to the input signal which will
allow the connection of high output
microphones or line level signals.
Note:- Connecting a jack plug disconnects the
XLR input.
The PHASE switch activates a 180
degrees phase change within the input
amplifier.
The GAIN control gives continuous
adjustment of the input amplifier gain
from + 15dB to + 60dB.

Aux send ON/OFF switching is
achieved using the console assignment
system. A routing LED below the aux
control provides indication of status,
RED being POST fader and GREEN

being PRE fader. The assignments may
also be stored as part of a snapshot scene.

The aux PRE switches change the signal
sent to the aux busses from post fader to
pre fader and this is confirmed by a led
colour change on the bus routing LEDs.

The PAN defaults to control the channel
placement within the master stereo mix
and has a constant power law. i.e. - 3dB
at the centre position.
The PAN switch changes all group bus
assignments to operate via the stereo pan
pot.
l

When the spatial imaging system is
active the IMAGE control can modify
the action of the pan control so as to
place the channel within a three speaker
system. When the image control is fully
clockwise the pan control will operate in
full left, centre, right such that a centre
panned signal will route to the centre
speaker only and will not appear in either
of the left or right outputs. When the
image control is fully anti-clockwise the
c
pan control reverts to stereo such that a
centre panned signal will route at equal
power to the left and right speakers. All
other Image control positions generate a
composite blend of the stereo and LCR
r
panning systems so that the optimum
degree of centre image focus and speaker
power can be obtained. When the image
control and pan control are both set
central the channel will be routed with
lcr
equal power to all three speakers.
The SIS switch enables the spatial
imaging system which operates in
conjunction with the pan control to
produce a left, centre, right master mix.
The SOLO switch sends input monitor
channel signals to the MON PFL/AFL
busses and sends input front of house
channel signals to the FOH PFL/AFL
stereo busses. If the switch is pressed for
a short time it will latch on or off, but, if it
is held on for more than 1 second the
latching is disabled and when the switch
is released the channel solo will turn off.
As a default the solo system is auto
cancelling so each new solo cancels the
last. The SOLO ADD mode switch on
the master module defeats the auto
cancelling and allows multiple channel
monitoring. If the master module SOLO
SIS is enabled the front of house solo
buses will switch to LCR operation.

The MON MUTE switch mutes the
monitor input channel signal path at all
points after the insert send. The switch
can be controlled from snapshot
automation.
The FOH MUTE switch mutes the front
of house input channel signal path at all
points after the insert send. The switch
can be controlled from snapshot
automation.
The MON and FOH FADERS give
independent adjustment of the monitor

The central controller MODE switches
toggle through the four available states
(the fourth state being AUX where status
is displayed close to the aux controls).
The SET switch is used to programme
SET
the channel AUX, VCA-FOH,
VCA_MON and AUDIO group
assignment. The central controller
MODE switches and ASSIGN keys
select the desired assignment function
and the SET switch toggles the channel
on and off with each alternate press.
The “module disable” is not intended for
normal use, however, if the automation
systems fail, this switch can be used to
stop unwanted scene updates and set the
module to a default state.

latch on or off, but, if it is held on for
more than 1 second the latching is
disabled and when the switch is released
the channel solo will turn off. As a
default the solo system is auto cancelling
so each new solo cancels the last. The
SOLO ADD mode switch on the master
module defeats the auto cancelling and
allows multiple channel monitoring.

Assign Keys And Mode Switches
The VCA FOH, VCA MON, GROUP and AUX switches set the current assignment/display
mode for the input module assign LEDs. As a default these switches interlock so that only one
mode can be viewed at a time, however if they are pressed down for more than 0.5 second the
interlock is removed. This is used for "clear mode" (see below).
If the VCA FOH and VCA MON MUTES have been selected for operation independent from the
VCAs ( in the SYSTEM menu) they can be selected by pressing the VCA switches for 3 seconds.

the previous settings.
Press the SET switch on the input channels to which
the assignment is required. Again there are two ways
to do this; a long press will remove all prior settings
on the input and replace them with the new
assignment; a short press will toggle the state of any
switches within the assignment set up. i.e. if assign
keys one and two are on. Pressing the input SET
switch will cause that channel to toggle the number
one and two assignments for the channel either from
off to on or visa versa.

switches can be used to select which parts are
cleared, i.e. press VCA mode to clear VCA's, press
GROUP mode to clear group routing, or use a long
press to activate more modes for simultaneous

Snapshot Automation System
The SOLO IN PLACE switch sets the
console to solo in place mode. In this
mode any input solo that is pressed
activates a mute of all the other channels.
To protect against accidental operation
the solo in place switch must be pressed
for 3 seconds before it will operate.
The LOCK switch will toggle state each
time it is pressed. When the LOCK
switch is illuminated all assignment
changes are disabled. The console will
automatically revert to a locked state if
no assignment controls are operated
within a 90 second period.
Operating the STORE key will store the
current console assignments and settings
to the snap shot being displayed on the
numeric display.
The MIDI key allows the operator to edit
the snap shot MIDI information. On
entering this mode the operator will be
presented with a menu of the four MIDI
messages that are stored within each
snap shot, its operation is similar to the
system menu.

Selecting The MIDI Protocol Y ou Wish The Console T o Respond To:
1/ Press the SYSTEM menu switches and scroll down to AUTO, press CONFIRM.
2/ Scroll to SETP - (SETuP). This is where the MIDI parameters that are used for this function on set. These
parameters define the midi command that the console will respond to, and decode the required Act/Scene
number. The four parameters that can be set are as follows:
N ON - (Note ON)
NOFF - (Note OFF)
SNGP - (SoNG Pointer)
PRCH - (PRogram CHange)
Choose the required protocol and press CONFIRM.

true:
a. The “AUTO - ENAB” menu setting must be set to “YES” and the relevant Pr otocol chosen.
b. The console must not be in “TOTL” (TOT aL) Lock-Mode.
c. The console must not be performing any menu operations.
d. The Scenes must be programmed with the MIDI message to respond to.

Programming A Scene To Respond To A Specific MIDI Message:
To program a scene to respond to a MIDI message the following steps must be followed:
1/ Recall the scene you wish to program to respond to the MIDI message.
2/ Press the STORE switches. The screen will flash OVR/STR, using the UP and DOWN switches scroll to the
MIDI protocol chosen in the system menu, either PRCH, N_ON, NOFF or SNGP and press CONFIRM.
3/ Depending on the protocol chosen you will either be required to choose:
a: Program Number
b: Note On followed by a Velocity
c: Note Off followed by a Velocity
d: Song Pointer Number corresponding to the scene number
NOTE ON / OFF Construction Encoding The Act And Scene Numbers:
The required MIDI command data can be constructed by setting the midi command parameters as follows:
Note ON/OFF : These MIDI commands have two parameters, as follows:
1. NOTE, this parameter is equivalent to the required “ACT” number. Each note has a numerical equivalent
(see table below)
2. Velocity, this parameter is equivalent to the required “SCENE” number.
Example: To program a change to ACT 20, SCENE 44, - Set the note to G#-1, set velocity to 44.
3/ Song Pointer - The command is a numerical value and is equivalent to the combined “ACT” & “SCENE”
number.
Example: To programme a change to ACT 45, SCENE 02, - set the value to 4502
MIDI “NOTE” to numerical value lookup table
