    About the GA Diversity functionality The GA Diversity functionality of the M3000 allows you to switch the MIX buses 1–8 between acting as group buses (output level from the input channels will be fixed) or acting as AUX buses (output level from the input channels will be variable).

  • Page 31: About The Scene Memory Function

    About the Scene Memory function What is scene memory? Scene memory is a function which stores the on/off status of the mono/stereo input channels and of MIX buses 1–12, 13/14, 15/16 and ST A as one of 128 “scenes.” A scene that has been stored can be recalled instantly at a touch of a switch.

  • Page 32: Operations In Normal Mode

    About the Scene Memory function Operations in normal mode Storing a scene (normal mode) 1. Make sure that the M3000 is in normal mode, and use the ON/EDIT switches of the mono/ste- reo input channels, the mix section and the STE- REO A section to make the desired on/off settings.

  • Page 33: Operations In Check Mode

    Operations in check mode In check mode you can verify the settings of a scene before recalling it, or edit the on/off status of the ON/ EDIT keys without affecting the internal audio sig- nals. To move from normal mode to check mode, press the CHECK switch in the scene memory section.

  • Page 38: About The Vca Functionality

    About the VCA functionality The VCA master section of the M3000 contains eight VCA master faders. These VCA master faders 1–8 can be used to control the overall input level of input channels assigned to the corresponding VCA groups 1–8. MIX 1/2 MIX 3/4 MIX 5/6...
  • Page 39 Using two or more VCA master faders to control a single channel As the opposite of the example on the previous page, it is also possible to assign a channel to two or more VCA groups. The following diagram shows an exam- ple of signal flow when channel 1 is assigned to VCA groups 1, 5, and 8.
  • Page 40 About the VCA functionality • If the VCA MUTE switch of a VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will light), the post-fader signal of all input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted. This is convenient when you wish to simultaneously mute or un-mute multiple channels without operating the faders.
