Red Light; Meters Section; Mix Meter Follow Mon Source; Peak Mode Select - Solid State Logic ORIGIN User Manual

NOTE : If the IN FRONT BALANCE control is left fully clockwise (i.e. an all mix bus balance) then it may appear that
the AFL/Solo function isn't working as there is no AFL signal feeding the monitoring, (i.e. you're only listening to the
mix bus signal, i.e. no AFL/Solo signal)!

RED LIGHT

The RED LIGHT function closes a relay on the DB-9 UTILITY connector on the rear panel of the console. Typically this is used for
a Record Light for the studio, to indicate not to disturb the recording area. If nothing is connected to the UTILITY connector, then
this switch has no function (other than illuminating the associated red front panel LED!). The RED LIGHT relay switch closure will
change state when the console goes to SLEEP. This could be used to switch off other studio equipment, or to signal externally that
the console is in sleep mode, if the RED LIGHT function is not required.

METERS Section

MIX METER FOLLOW MON SOURCE

The MIX meter typically shows the level of the main stereo Mix bus. Pressing the MIX METER FOLLOW MON
SOURCE switch switches the MIX meter to follow the selection on the MON SOURCE section. This is useful
to meter, or calibrate an external source connected to one of the four External Source selectors.
