Fader; Routing; Pfl/Peak - SoundCraft LX7-2 Technical Manual

14 - FADER

The 100mm FADER allows precise balancing of the various source signals being mixed
to the Master Section. You get most control when the input Sensitivity is set up correctly,
giving full travel on the fader. See the `Setting Up & Troubleshooting’ section on page
20 for help in setting a suitable signal level.

15 - ROUTING

The channel signal may be routed to the main stereo MIX or pairs of group busses (1-2,
3-4) by pressing the respective switches, with the channel signal fed proportionately to
left (1, 3) or right (2, 4) depending on the position of the PAN control (11). The channel
signal may also be routed to the separate centre (mono) bus by pressing the C switch,
unaffected by the position of the PAN control.

16 - PFL/PEAK

When the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade, post-EQ signal is fed to the
headphones, control room output and meters, where it replaces the selected monitor
source. The adjacent LED lights to identify the selected channel and the PFL/AFL LED on
the Master section illuminates to warn that a PFL is active. This is a useful way of
listening to any required input signal without interrupting the main mix, for making
adjustments or tracing problems.
When the PFL switch is released the LED serves as a PEAK indicator which illuminates
approximately 4dB before clipping to give warning of a possible overload. The signal is
sampled both after the HF EQ and also POST EQ.
