X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual
“View” Based Screens
The screens described in the following sections are all “View” based screens.
They are navigated to by pressing the “View” button in various sections of the
console top panel.
7.10 Monitor/Talkback Screens:
The monitor screen is selected by pressing the “View” button of the top panel’s
monitor section, as well as the “View” button of the top panel’s talkback section.
The screen controls various aspects of the console’s solo bus, control room
outputs, and talkback section.
The monitor/talkback screen contains the following separate tabs:
Monitor: This screen controls various solo options, dimming, speaker delay,
and sources for the control room output.
Talkback A: This screen controls various adjustments for the talkback A path
of console.
Talkback B: This screen controls various adjustments for the talkback B path
of console.
Oscillator: This screen offers various controls for the onboard oscillator and how
it is routed throughout the console.
7.10.1 Monitor/Talkback Screen: Monitor Tab:
The monitor tab controls various console options related to the solo bus, as well
as the console’s control room outputs. These options include various solo
settings, speaker dimming, speaker delay, and selection of sources for the control
room output.
To adjust the various settings on the monitor tab, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to change the gain of the monitor signal. This digital
gain stage occurs as a first preliminary level control, before the top panel’s
analog-based monitor level control. A display above the encoder shows the
currently set gain value in dB.
•
A multi-segment level meter is displayed on the color screen to allow for
proper gain staging of the monitor signal.
2. Adjust the 2nd encoder to scroll through the various solo methods
available to the console when audio is routed to the solo bus.
Available options include:
•
Exclusive (Last): In this mode, pressing another solo button disengages
the previous solo.
•
Solo Follows Select: When this method is selected, the audio of the
currently selected channel will automatically be sent to the solo bus.
Since a user will often select a channel to adjust its dedicated DSP
controls, this method is useful because the audio of the channel will
now already be feeding the solo bus where it can be monitored with
headphones in a live sound environment.
•
Select Follows Solo: When this method is selected, any channel that is
soloed will automatically become the currently selected channel.
•
Channel Solo AFL: With this method, the channel and select button do
not have any correlation to each other. When a channel’s solo button
is pressed, its audio is sent to the solo bus in “after-fader listen” mode,
reflecting the current level of the channel fader and any channel DSP
that has been applied.
