direct output features
This section is intended for use in Front of House operations to provide
a controlled feed to an external tape machine. It may also be used as a
localized effects send or monitor output. When the console is being used
for monitor mixing operations,this output is used as a dedicated send to
the Matrix section to generate custom versions of the Matrix mix for
monitor use by secondary artists such as horn sections or backing vocals.
DIRECT OUTPUT CONNECT OR - XLR Balanced Output - rear-panel

group assignment features
discrete group assignment switches 1–8
Assignment of post fader signal to discrete group buses unless the pan
switch is activated, in which case the signal is post pan pot. When the
mode switch within the Direct Output section is depressed, the signal
source disconnects from the channel’s main fader and instead obtains its
signal from the set of controls located above the assignment section.
pan–switch
Configures the discrete bus assignment switches to follo w the pan control
with left assigned to odd and right assigned to even mix buses.
mono assignment switch
Direct assignment of channel to mono mix bus.Normal signal source from
post fader. (When the mode switch depressed,the signal is sourced from
section above assignment area of console).
left/right assignment switch
Assigns post pan pot signals to left and right mix buses. (When the Mode
switch is depressed,the signal is sourced from section above assignment
area of console).

monitor features
8-segment channel meter
Monitors a pre or post fader signal level as determined by a Master
Global POST switch within the master section of the console. Normally,
a pre fader signal is monitored. When the Global master switch is
depressed, ALL channel meters switch to a post fader monitor position
to prevent confusion betw een pre and post channel metering.The 8 segments include a dynamic signal present LED indicator which varies in
intensity to indicate the presence of any audio signal, and increases in
intensity until it reaches full brightness. When signal level reaches -15dB,
an additional LED will illuminate. Additional LED’s indicate at channel signal levels of -6dB,-3dB, 0dB, +3dB and +8dB.
The top red segment samples signals at a pre EQ position,post EQ position,and a post fader position. When any of these points approach 3dB of
clipping,this led will illuminate RED.This LED is NOT affected by the position of the Global Post Fader monitor switch.
VCA-level LED
This LED glows green to indicate the amount of control v oltage applied to
the channel VCA; the greater the control voltage, the brighter the LED.
Often,a channel may be assigned to more than one VCA master,and it is
easy to overlook an assignment and wonder why a channel isn’t on.This
LED gives the operator a quick refer ence to the state of the channel VCA;
if there is no LED indication,there is no VCA control voltage.The LED will
turn from green to r ed when the control voltage limit of +20dB is r eached
as detailed above.This alerts the operator to unusual or incorrect gain settings and prevents any additional fader boost from being applied.
solo switch
Will illuminate when manually selected in one of the console’s many Solo
modes. Controls within the master section determine if this switch will
sample signal pre fader or post fader/post pan pot.
Additional switches will determine the operating characteristics of the
Solo system. These may be selected from within the master section to be
NORMAL (cumulative), LAST PRESSED (Only one switch will be on at a
time.Selecting the next solo switch will automatically cancel the last switch
selected) or MOMENTARY (Solo system on only while switch is held
down). This Solo switch will also Solo and illuminate automatically if the
VCA master group that the channel may be assigned to is put into SOLO.
The SOLO system displays selected channels on individual Solo Left and
Solo Right meters. The signal also appears on separate Headphone and
Monitor output channels. The solo signal may also be routed to the
Alternate A/B and C/D outputs within the master section.
write-on strip
In the area separating the angled upper portion of the console and the
Fader bay area is a write in strip. This strip the primary module numbering,while providing write in area f or customer use.

group assignment features
discrete group assignment switches 1–8
When the mode switch within the Direct Output section is depressed,the
stereo signal source disconnects from the channel’s post-fader point and
instead obtains its signal from the set of stereo contr ols located above the
assignment section.
sum switch
Configures the bus assignment switches to mono.The ster eo signal is normally assigned to the group buses with Left to odd,Right to even.
mono assignment switch
Summed Mono Direct assignment of channel to Mono mix bus.Normal
signal source is post fader .(When mode switch depressed,signal is sourced
from section above assignment area of console).
left/right assignment switch
Assigns stereo signals to Left and Right mix buses. (When mode switch
depressed, signal is sourced from section above assignment area of console).
LCR switch
Reconfigures center of dual concentric image control fr om LR balance to
LCR Balance. Note:Left/Right and Mono assignment switches must also
be depressed for proper operation.
image width control—WID
When the outside control of dual concentric pot is turned fully counter
clockwise, signal is presented to Left and Right outputs as a standard
stereo image. As the control is turned clockwise, the image decreases in
apparent width while maintaining a constant power output. When the
control is at its center detent a summed left/right signal results. As the
control is turned further clockwise, the image begins to widen, but as a
reverse image. When fully clockwise, the full stereo image exists, but is
reversed:left source now feeds right side;right source feeds left side.
image balance control
Center control of dual concentric pot controls balance of Left and Right
stereo signals. When the LCR switch is depressed,a summed mono signal is fed to the center (mono) channel. Var ying the center control will
determine the proportion of LR signal to the mono center signal while
maintaining a constant power output.Full CCW produces only L and R,
full CW produces only Center (Mono).

monitor features
dual 8-segment channel meter
Separately monitors a left and right pre or post fader signal lev el as determined by a Master Global POST switch within the master section of the
console. Without this switch depressed,a pre fader signal is monitored.
When the Global master switch is depressed,ALL channel meters switch
to a post fader monitor position to prevent confusion between pre and
post channel metering. The dual 8 segment meters include separate
dynamic signal present LED indicators which vary in intensity to indicate
the presence of any audio signal,and increases in intensity until it reaches
full brightness. When signal level r eaches -15dB,an additional LED will illuminate. Additional LED’ s indicate at channel signal lev els of -6db,-3db,0db,
+3db and +8db.
The left and right red segament LED’s (Top left and right LED) sample signals at a pre EQ position, post EQ position, and apost fader position.

UPPER CONTROL SECTION (Default Matrix Control)
illuminated mute-switch
Controls local mute function of this output section - Default is matrix
channel output. This switch illuminates red when this section is muted
(Regardless of source).
µ-mute switch
Sets and indicates microprocessor mute preset status. This illuminated
switch will show current µ-mute status preset as illuminated or not illuminated. It will show pre view next status as either blinking illuminated or
not illumination. Status of this µ-mute can be toggled on or off by depressing this momentary switch. This switch may also be dir ectl y accessed b y
an external sequencer if operating in external control mode.
The status of the µ-mute switch is stored in local memory for the current
mute scene, next, and last mute scene without the need to store any
changes to permanent memory. A snapshot of this switch in either active
or next (preview) mode may be stored to permanent memory if desired
from within the master microprocessor controller to any of the microprocessor storage locations in addition to the curr ent location.
This switch has no effect on the channels actual mute status until the master channel mute switch is activated within the master section of the console. The µ-mute may be loaded automatically b y the micropr ocessor system allowing sequenced (Master mute switch on at all times) or pre selected mute control (Master mute switch on onl y when mute preset is needed). If no microprocessor contr ol is required,the master mute switch ma y
be selected to manual operation,allowing this system to be preset and to
perform as any other manual mute preset.
