Stereo Cue Sends; Channel Fader And Pan; Usb Send - Solid State Logic BiG SiX User Manual

Console Overview

Stereo Cue Sends

Each mono channel can access two Stereo Cue sends with independent Level and Pan controls.
The ON switch sends the channel signal to the cue bus indicated by a green LED.
Both sends are fed from channel pre-fade, post-insert, but can be switched to Post Fader by
engaging the corresponding CUE POST switch in the Foldback master section.
The channel signal is unity gain to the Cue Bus when the Send Level control is fully clockwise
and the Pan control is hard left or right. The centre Pan level is -4.5 dB from 0 dB to each bus,
- a traditional SSL compromise between typical mono -3 and -6 dB centre points for constant
perceived level or power.

Channel Fader and Pan

The channel signal level is controlled by a high quality 100 mm fader. The Pan pot directly above this pans the signal to the Main
Mix Bus. Next to the Fader is the Channel Meter, as well as the channel Mute/Bus B switch and PFL switch.
The Fader law is designed to provide more resolution around the 0 dB point, allowing subtle level
changes from modest fader movements. The fader output is unity gain to the bus when the Pan
control is hard left or right. The centre Pan level is -4.5 dB from 0 dB to each bus.
The Mute/Bus B switch mutes the channel feed to the Main Mix Bus, whilst also sending the channel
signal post-fader to the additional stereo Mix Bus B.
The PFL (Pre Fade Listen) switch sends the channel signal to the PFL bus and interrupts the monitor
bus without affecting the main signal output to the Main Mix Bus.
The eight LED Channel Meter is fed from before the fader but after the channel processing. The fast
response peak meter has defined segments for +24 dBu and +18 dBu as well as 0 dBu. The meter
has a fast 'peak' response (rise time to 60% Full Scale Deflection approx 1 ms @ 1 kHz), and a
slower release time to meter peaks while still showing useful signal levels.

USB Send

By default there is an A/D converter connected
to the USB Send Pre Fader output of each
SuperAnalogue channel strip. This can be
individually switched to Post Fader using the
USB OUT POST FADER switch. These USB
Sends are always post processing and so can
be used for per path outputs for recording in
a DAW.
The "TO USB n" legend at the base of each
SuperAnalogue channel fader shows which
USB send the channel is connected to.
