Getting Started with a ‘blank’ desk

To erase all memories in the desk, and return it to its factory settings,
hold the SCENE MEMORY STORE switch while turning on the power.
(You don’t need to do this if you have just unpacked the product from
its box for the first time)!

To start from blank settings without erasing the memories, just recall
SCENE 00. To do this, use the SCENE MEMORY Up-Arrow/Down­Arrow switches to select Scene ‘00’ and then press RECALL.

All the faders will then move down and all the mixing functions set to
their default status.

Understanding the Rear Panel

All the audio connectors are on the rear panel. They include:

1. 16 Mic inputs with XLR and TRS Jack inputs, and
TRS inserts (un-balanced)

2. 8 Line inputs with TRS Jack inputs

3. 8 ‘OMNI’ analog outputs with TRS Jacks

4. Various Stereo, Studio and Control Room outputs

5. 3x 2-Track Digital Inputs and Outputs

6. 4 option slots for expansion.

Other connectors on the rear panel are for various control and sync
functions. For example, the CONTROL port (25-pin D-sub) is for low
voltage GPI relays. The CASCADE IN and OUT ports are for
connecting with other 02R96 consoles to share audio buses. The
METER connector is for the optional Meter Bridge.

The SELECTED CHANNEL area is a fundamental concept to
understand. It shows all the important functions for one channel at a
time. Only one channel can be selected at any time. To select a
channel (and see its settings in the SELECTED CHANNEL area), just
press the SEL switch. Then press the SEL switch for another channel
when you are ready to move on.

Controlling Channel Faders

There are 4 layers of faders on the 02R96:

1. Input channels 1-24

2. Input channels 25-48

3. Input channels 49-56 + Auxes 1-8 + Buses 1-8

4. Remote Layer for controlling other functions / devices.
When you change layers, all the channel settings are remembered.
You just change which channels you are looking at!

Each fader controls a different input to the 02R96. This assignment is
not fixed: it can be changed in the INPUT PATCH menu.
Here is the default patch:

channels 1-24 control the 24 analog inputs on the top on the
console;
channels 25-32 control inputs 1-8 from Slot 1;
channels 33-40 control inputs 1-8 from Slot 2;
channels 41-48 control inputs 1-8 from Slot 3;
channels 49-56 control inputs from internal Effects 1-4.

page is displayed.

3. Press the SEL switch for the required channel (or move the

cursor on the screen to the required channel number).

4. Press ENTER (by the data wheel at the bottom right corner

of the console).

5. Select the type of input from the first list (AD in / Slot in / FX

out and so on).

6. Press ENTER and choose the required item from the next

column (Slot # or FX # for example).

ENCODER MODE / FADER MODE

The encoders above the faders can be used to edit various channel
parameters. The most useful ones are Pan and Aux send.

1. To edit Pan on the encoders, just press the PAN ENCODER
MODE switch and turn the required encoder. The LCD display will
show the pan position in a ‘pop-up’ window.

2. To edit Aux on the encoders, press the AUX ENCODER
MODE switch, then select the required AUX# (1-8) with one of the AUX
SELECT switches above. The LCD display will show the Aux level in a
‘pop-up’ window.

3. To see the Aux send information for many channels at the
same time, press the AUX SELECT DISPLAY switch. Each time this
switch is pressed, it will change the LCD to a different page to see the
information for other channels. In these pages Pre/Post status can be
edited, and the Aux sends can be switched off by pressing ENTER
while the cursor is high-lighting the level encoder.

4. When the AUX FADER MODE switch is pressed, the Aux
Send levels are shown on the faders instead of the channel level.
Choose which Aux to see on the faders with the AUX SELECT
switches (as in step 2 above). Press the FADER switch to resume
normal level operation on the faders.
