Auxiliaries - Calrec SIGMA Operator's Manual

AUxILIARIES

There are 20 mono auxiliary output
busses, which can be paired up to be
used as stereo auxiliary output busses.
Auxiliary busses are pre-set to be mono or
stereo on the USER-BUSSES screen.
The displays above each rotary control show
what is being controlled (e.g O/P or DIR)
until they are adjusted, when the level is then
displayed. A short time after the adjustment
has been made, the display will show the
label again.
The buttons at the bottom of the Auxiliaries
section influence the function of the
controls.
Auxiliary Feeds
When AUX is selected, these
controls adjust the feeds from
AUX
the channels or groups to the
auxiliary output busses.
The ON button switches the feed from
the currently assigned channel or group
to that auxiliary output bus. Each feed can
be pre or post the channel or group fader,
selectable using the PRE button.
If, for example, aux 10 is stereo, then aux
20 will not be available (and aux 20 will not
work on the monitor selector). On mono
auxiliaries, buttons 11 to 20 switch the
control to that numbered aux send. The
Pan button will be inoperative.
PAN makes the control into a Pan control
(balance on Stereo channels). Any pan
offset will be shown as an offset between
the two bars of the display.
Aux Direct Inputs
When DIRECT is selected, this
section controls the Aux Direct
DIRECT
Inputs. The Pre Fader and Pan
controls will be in-operative.
Auxiliary Outputs
When MASTER is selected
these controls adjust the
MASTER
auxiliary outputs. The ON
buttons switch the output on
and off.
On stereo auxiliaries a dual level display
will be shown, For example, aux 5 and 10.
Here, buttons 15 and 20 will be disabled.
CALREC
Putting Sound in the Picture
There cannot be a level offset on the
output display.
LOCK
Lock will lock the panel into
output mode. If LOCK is not
LOCK
selected, the panel reverts to
Aux if a fader assign button is
pressed.
Interrogate Mode
INTER (latching) puts the panel
into Interrogate mode. If the Aux
INTER
ON buttons are held down, the
fader assign buttons of all the
paths feeding that buss will remain lit. The
fader assign buttons of paths which are not
feeding the buss will cease to be lit.
Paths can be added or removed from the
bus under interrogation, by selecting or de-
selecting their fader assign buttons.
If you are using Style 1 faders, then the
way in which the fader assign buttons
light is slightly different. Please refer to
Appendix A at the end of this manual.
