The MASTER section also has a long throw, touch sensitive, motorised fader. By default, this controls the stereo L/
R bus which, by default, appears at the STEREO OUT.
NOTE : Due to the DPS24's flexible patching system, it is possible to route audio sources other than the L/R
bus to the STEREO L/R output. If another audio source is patched to the STEREO output, the MASTER fader
will not affect that audio source's level.
Above the fader is a TALKBACK switch. This routes the internal talkback mic to the STUDIO outputs so that the
engineer in the control room can talk to the 'talent' in a separate studio area. The key is a 'press-to-make' switch that
needs to be held down for the talkback mic to be routed to the STUDIO outputs.
NOTE : To facilitate this, the AUX 3/4 sends need to be configured to be sent to the STUDIO L/R outputs.
This is set in the MIXER - FX/AUX SETUP page.
The illuminated SELECT key allows you to select the master channel for editing.
The illuminated STUDIO > CR key allows you to route the mix created on AUX 3 and 4 to the monitor output
feeding the control room's monitoring system. In this way, it is possible for the control room engineer to set the mix
up very conveniently on the control room's speakers.
The TALKBACK and STUDIO outputs are explained later in this operator's manual.
