SECTION 2.
NAME AND FUNCTION/OPERATION OF CONTROLS
AND SWITCHES
Letters in ( ) are identical to panel letterings. In the
explanations, the panel lettering will always precede the
control number. (Ex: PAN (13); EQ (7); etc.)
1. INPUT TRIM (TRIM)
The knob for trimming the preamplifier gain to the
optimum level with regards to the input signal at the
INPUT jacks (33) and (34). It can comply to a wide
range from mic level (-60dBV) through line level
(- lOdBV).
Please note, however, that this control has no affect
on the input level to the TAPE IN jack (36).
2. ALTERNATE SELECT SWITCH (GROUP/SUB)
The input selector switch for selecting the signal to
each channel INPUT faders (17) and to the SUB MIX
sections (3) and (4).
GROUP: Signals from INPUT jacks (33) and (34)
will be routed to the INPUT fader (17), and
the signal from TAPE IN jack (36) to SUB
MIX sections (3) and (4).
SUB
: The signal from TAPE IN jack (36) will be
routed to the INPUT fader (17), and
signals from INPUT jacks (33) and (34)
to the SUB MIX sections (3) and (4).
3. SUBMIX GAIN KNOB (SUB GAIN)
Trims the sound volume of the signal selected by (2).
4. SUBMIX PAN POT (SUB PAN)
Sets the right and left perspective when sending the
signal selected by (2) to the buss selected by the
CUE/L-R selector (5).
5. CUE/STEREO SELECTOR SWITCH (CUE/L-R)
Selects whether the signal, adjusted in sound volume
and perspective in the SUB MIX sections (3) and (4),
is to be sent to CUE buss (CUE) or the STEREO buss
(L-R). When it is sent to the CUE buss, it will be output
to the CUE OUT jack (46) via the CUE master level
knob (31), and when sent to the STEREO buss, it will
be output to STEREO OUT jacks 1 ~2 (43) via the
STEREO master fader (22). Either signal can be
monitored with the MONITOR selector (26).
6. PEAK LED (PEAK)
These will be lit when signals to INPUT jacks (33)
and (34) or TAPE IN jacks (36) are in an overload
condition (+ 25dB) (Not only in the preamplifier but
it will also light when the EQ (7) section overloads).
If this LED is lit too often, it must be set to the optimum
level by TRIM (1) or TAPE trimmer (* Refer to NOTE
1). For details, refer to "2. Level Matching With Ex¬
ternal Equipment," page 7.
7. PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER
Adjusts tone of the signals fed to each channel INPUT
faders (17). R»r details, refer to "Parametric equalizer'',
page 8.
8. AUX SEND LEVEL KNOB (AUX 1 ~ 4)
The knob for adjusting the level of the four AUX send
channels.
AUX 1, AUX 2: In relation to the PRE/POST
selector (9), the prefader or post¬
fader (both are post equalizers)
signals will be sent to AUX buss
1 and 2.
AUX 3, AUX 4: The post fader (post equalizer)
signal is sent to AUX busses 3 and
4.
These signals sent to AUX buss 1 ~ 4 are output
to AUX OUT jacks 1 ~ 4 (39) via AUX master GAIN
1 ~ 4 (23) and can be used for sends such as to
at effect unit.
9. AUX 1, 2 INPUT SELECTOR (PRE/POST)
Selects the signal of each channel to be connected
to AUX 1 and AUX 2 send (8).
PRE : The signal from EQ (7) and immediately
before the INPUT fader (17) is connected.
POST: The signal passing through EQ (7) and
INPUT fader (17) is connected.
10. GROUP 1-2 ASSIGN SWITCH (1-2)
This is switched ON (button is pressed) to send the
signal input to the INPUT fader (17) to the GROUP
1, 2 buss. The signal can be assigned to 1 and 2 in
any condition of balance by the PAN (13) control. The
signal will not be sent to buss 1 and 2 when this
switch is OFF.
11. GROUP 3-4 ASSIGN SWITCH (3-4)
Same as for above (10), this is switched ON (button
is pressed) to send the input signal to GROUP buss
3 and 4.
12. STEREO L-R ASSIGN SWITCH (L-R)
Same as for above (10), this is switched ON (button
is pressed) to send the input signal to the STEREO
buss L, R. The signal can be assigned to L and R
in any condition of balance by the PAN (13) control.
The relation between the three assign switches (10) ~ (12)
and the PAN (13) control is shown below (• - ON,
O
- OFF).
