C O N S O L E F E A T U R E S Console Features Overview The AIR 1 console consists of an input section with eight faders and associated switches, monitor and headphone section with two faders and associated switches. The basic purpose of the console is to take some of the many audio signals that are wired to the console inputs, and generate several outputs that combine these inputs in various groups and at various degrees of loudness, or signal strength.

C O N S O L E F E A T U R E S Inputs The AIR 1 console is designed to handle 6 analog stereo (+4dBu balanced) inputs, two mono microphone (-50dBu balanced) inputs, and one external stereo line level (+4dBu balanced) input that goes directly to control room or meter.
C O N S O L E F E A T U R E S Outputs The console outputs include two program stereo busses (PGM 1 and PGM 2), a stereo monitor output, a mono cue output, and a stereo headphone jack. The console’s mono cue signal is provided to drive an external powered speaker, or amplifier and speaker combination, and also provides the cue signal used to interrupt monitor and headphones, if such interrupt has been enabled by...

C O N T R O L S A N D F U N C T I O N S Controls and Functions Input Section The AIR 1 Input section consist of two mono microphone input channels and six stereo analog input channels. The MIC and LINE input channels have the same controls, except that the MIC channels don’t have a CUE switch.
C O N T R O L S A N D F U N C T I O N S Source The AIR 1 console accepts two mono mic input signals via female XLR and six stereo line level input signals via TRS connectors. MIC 1 and MIC 2 GAIN trimpots at the rear of the console below the MIC input XLR connectors are used to adjust the gain of each microphone input independently.

C O N T R O L S A N D F U N C T I O N S CUE Level Control The CUE level control determines the overall loudness of the cue signal. Headphone Fader The HDPN fader determines the overall loudness of the headphone output signal, which monitors the same source (PGM 1, PGM 2, or EXT) as the Monitor speakers.
