- Channels can be members of more than one VCA group.
- ou can name VCA Masters by selecting a VCA Master Control Channel then touching the Touch Screen
Main Menu INPUTS & VCA menu.
- Active controls on a VCA roup Master are the Fader and the On (Mute) controls.
- VCA Masters 1-8 are available for allocation to Control Channels in the same way as other channel types
(see section 3.2.1 for more on this) - Fader low colour Blue.
- See below for all VCA set-up controls, and VCA roup Master Control Channel controls.
NOTE: The VCA master fader wor s as an offset to the current channel faders (does not move the member
faders), so it s a good idea to set group members, and the Master to nominal levels.
Master Faders start at 0dB.
