Front Panel Operations - JEFF ROWLAND Conductor Manual

FRONT PANEL OPERATIONS

1. The CONDUCTOR can be equipped with one to four active
inputs. Each input can be selected by depressing the desired
INPUT button. A small green light will illuminate directly
above a selected input whether or not a particular input is
active.
2. When the MUTE button is depressed the output level of the
Conductor will be reduced by approximately 40 dB, providing a
reduced, yet slightly audible signal when a record is being
played. A small red light will illuminate directly about the
MUTE button when the CONDUCTOR outputs are muted.
3. Depressing the STANDBY button will place the
CONDUCTOR in operation mode. A small yellow light will not
be present when the CONDUCTOR is operational. Alternately
depressing the STANDBY button will place the CONDUCTOR
in standby where no operation is possible. The small yellow
light will illuminate when the CONDUCTOR is in standby
mode.
4. The MONO button algebraically sums the right and left
channels for playback of monophonic recordings. A small blue
light will illuminate directly above the MONO button when
monophonic operation is active.
5. The L-R button algebraically subtracts the right channel signal
from the left channel signal, effectively producing a difference
signal to aid in cartridge setup. This difference signal is present
at both CONDUCTOR LINE OUTPUTS when the L-R
function is activated. To use this feature, play a test record in
which a reference tone is present, equally, in both channels.
Depress the L-R button and note that the output level decreases
significantly. The cartridge azimuth is then adjusted for the
minimum signal output, which confirms that the optimum
cartridge azimuth has been achieved, and both right and left
channel output levels are as equal as possible. This feature can
also be used in a similar manner to set an ideal anti-skate
adjustment when playing the inner grooves of a suitable test
record. A small white light will illuminate directly above the L-
R button when this function is active..
