left & right (main audio buses)
features
The HP-Eight is equipped with 3 main audio buses, in addition to the 8 audio sub-
groups.This section of the manual deals with 2 of those 3 main buses- Left & Right.
The Mono bus will be described later, The assignment to the L-R buses is always
through a pan-pot, either from the Mono or Stereo input channels, or from the 8
audio subgroups.Typically, these 2 main buses are used to create the overall stereo
mix.
Mute Switch w/LED
This switch normally will mute the post-fader output of the L or R audio bus.
The LED will illuminate when the mute is active. If the FADER FLIP switch is
depressed,then this mute switch will affect the associated Aux output (See Fader Flip
description).
Mono Bus Assign
The output of the Left or Right feeds the Mono bus when this switch is
depressed.The feed to the Mono bus is post-fader, post-mute.

This high-quality, 100mm fader is used to control the main output level.Any
0
Post-fader feeds are affected by this control. Nominal position is at the "0"

mark, with 10dB additional gain available above that point.When the FADER

FLIP switch is depressed, this fader will control the associated Aux Output

level, and the Main Output level is then controlled by the Aux Level rotary

pot (See Fader Flip description following).

PK/Sig LED
L E D
The FADER is equipped with a bicolor LED that displays the Pre-fader signal level
with varying intensity green illumination, and also indicates impending group over-
load (within 3dB of clipping) by turning red. audio clipping is sensed both pre and
post fader, so even if the fader is down, you will be informed of any bus-related
overload problems.
AFL
An AFL (After-Fader Listen) switch is provided that lets the operator monitor the
FADER's signal in the Console's Solo system.When depressed, the FADER's post-
fader, post-mute signal sent to the Console's Solo system (See Master section for
details on the Solo system functions).

a cloth moistened with isopropyl or rubbing alcohol.Artist (Board) tape may also be
applied to this surface, and the tape marked with a Sharpie.
left - right
NOTE:
Do not write directly
on the Console's surface with
a Sharpie or other permanent
marker. Use a china-marker
(grease pencil) or other
removable marking pencil, or
put down a strip of Artist tape
first. Avoid using standard
masking tape; it dries out and
leaves a hard-to-remove glue
residue.
