Bus Masters Trim And Routing; Monitoring - Solid State Logic ORIGIN User Manual

Origin Master Section

Bus Masters Trim and Routing

ORIGIN has sixteen track buses. These are
normally connected to the eight Stereo Group
buses (see page 18). This connection is either
directly via a DB-25 to DB-25 connection on
the rear of the console, or more typically via
normalled jack connections on a patchbay.
Bus Trim Controls
Upper left in the 6U Master Section, these 16
knobs are the individual +/- 10dB level trims
for the individual buses.
Route Switches and LEDs
Next to each of the Bus Trim controls is a Route
switch and LED. These switches and LEDs interact with the intelligent console bus routing system to both show and assign the
channels (and Stereo Returns) to the Buses. As described on page 12 and in Appendix A, these switches can be used to assign
or de-assign signals to the track buses. When the LEDs are illuminated with a solid (non-flashing) light this indicates something is
routed to that Bus. If the LED is not illuminated then there are no signals routed. If the LEDs are flashing, this indicates the section
is in 'Assign' mode and therefore using the Route switches will enable or disable signals. A more thorough explanation of ORIGIN's
powerful routing options can be found in the ROUTING section in Appendix A.

Monitoring

ORIGIN has a comprehensive control room monitor control and switching system. It supports up to three independent sets of stereo
monitors plus a headphone output. The section is split into three sub-sections covering monitor source, switching, level control and
audio image. In addition, there is a 'Studio' loudspeaker provision for a set of artist monitors located in the recording area, these
are described in the Communications section on page 26.
MON SOURCE
22
A choice of five monitor sources are available with the default source being the internal MIX Bus.
This may be overridden by an intercancelling choice of three external sources (EXTERNAL 1, 2
& 3) plus an additional source from the front panel 3.5mm JACK IN Socket for sources such as
a tablet or mobile phone. External 1, 2 and 3 inputs are connected via a DB-25 connector on the
rear panel, these connections are also likely to be connected via an external patchbay.
An LED adjacent to the source switch shows current selection. There is also a source SUM feature
which allows a combination of any or all monitor sources to be listened to at the same time.
MON SELECT including headphones.
Three sets of control room monitors may be connected and selected from the MONitor SELECT
section. The available choices are MAIN, ALT MON 1 and ALT MON 2 and these are chosen with
the switch next to the label. An LED also indicates which monitor outputs are selected. All of the
monitor outputs are identical fully balanced outputs.
In addition to the Main and Alternate monitor outputs, there is also a pair of paralleled 1/4" Stereo
Headphone sockets located under the front armrest at the centre of the console. The output to
these is selected and the level controlled by the ALT 3/

switch and shown by the adjacent
