3 BAND EQ – Radius TWO VALVE features a traditional HIGH MID LOW
equalisation system. Each pot gives -20dB of cut and +6dB of boost per
band.
CUE – Each CUE button routes the channel signal to the headphones.
Pressing the CUE button illuminates the red LED. When CUE buttons are
activated you can hear the selected CUE channels playing. When no CUE
button is active the headphone signal is automatically routed to the
Master Mix Buss.
VALVE SLOT – There are 2 valve slots on the front panel, with an
attractive perforated mesh below each slot arrangement. Below each shot
shows the valve, with a red LED glow around it.
XFADE SWITCH – Below each CUE button is a XFADE toggle switch. This
switch assigns the cross fader to the desired channel. If the XFADE
toggle switch is set to X the channel mix level is controlled by the
cross fader and will be at maximum if the cross fader is set to X. When
the OFF toggle is selected the cross fader is bypassed, and when the
toggle switch is set to Y no sound will be heard in the mix if the cross
fader is set to X.
LED METER – Each of the 2 channels features a 10 bar LED meter. This
visually shows the amount of input signal being processed through each
channel, ranging from -25dB to PK (PEAK SIGNAL). Normal operating
range should be -6dB to +6dB with an average of 0dB. This gives enough
headroom for unexpected peaks in the musical signal. It is important to
be aware that if the signal reaches PK the channel should be turned down
as distortion could occur.
ROTARY FADER – Each channel has a large ROTARY FADER for precision
control of its level when mixing. The rotary ranges from fully off when
anti-clockwise to unity gain (0dB) when clockwise. For best performance
operate these controls near to their fully clockwise position for normal
music level.
VU METERS – Radius TWO VALVE features two high quality analogue VU
(Volume Unit) meters, which accurately measure the left and right audio
signals. The meters show the post EQ sound level. An added feature of
the VU Meters is that when driven over +6VU the meter will illuminate
RED to warn against clipping. In SPLIT MODE the LEFT VU Meter indicates
the cue signal level, and the RIGHT VU Meter indicates the MIX level,
(see SPLIT on pg 7 opposite).
