Mute toggles the channel mute on and off. It will illuminate red when the channel
is muted. The Global Mute setting in the System menu determines where a channel
will be muted. By default, Global Mute is set to "Yes. " While in this mode, engaging a
channel Mute button will mute the channel in all of its assigned outputs (subgroups,
mains, aux buses, and FX buses). Disabling Global Mute will allow the channel to
continue to be heard in the Aux bus mixes while muting in all other bus mixes.
The CS18AI is equipped with touch-sensitive motorized faders to give you precision
control over you mix. Touch sensitivity means the fader knows when you touch it.
This means the faders won't fight you when beginning to make a movement. It also
means we can provide information about the fader position without you needing to
move the fader.
Channel Fader controls the overall level of the channel. Each
input channel features a 100 mm long-throw fader for accurate
level adjustment. Unity gain (0 dB) is denoted by a "U. "
Power User Tip: Because the faders are motorized, they've been designed to have
upper and lower limits just before the top and bottom of the fader throw. This will
avoid having the fader hit the top and bottom of the fader rails, which over time
could cause damage to your faders. Moving the fader to the absolute top or bottom
of the throw will still behave properly but when you navigate back to the layer or
recall a scene, you'll notice the fader will be located slightly off the end of the rail.
In addition to the Fat Channel controls, the StudioLive CS18AI has a
section of Global controls for accessing talkback, Solo modes, graphic
EQ, mute groups, monitoring, and more. These sections are designed to
provide quick and intuitive access to the most essential mix controls.
The CS18AI will automatically assign Input 1/TB as the talkback source for the
connected RM mixer. This can be routed to the aux outputs and to the mains.
Talk turns the talkback mic on and off. It will illuminate to indicate
that the talkback mic is active. When illuminated, the talkback-
mic signal will be patched to all assigned outputs.
Main assigns the talkback mic to the Main outputs.
All assigns the talkback mic to all Aux and Main outputs.
Custom assigns the talkback mic to a custom configuration of aux mixes.
The aux mix assignments can be selected in the Talkback Edit screen.
