Master Fader; Master [On] Switch - Yamaha PM 5000 Owner's Manual

1 [TO MATRIX] Switch
When this switch is engaged the signal from the
corresponding master is sent to the stereo and mono
matrix. The matrix send is derived after the master fader
and master [ON] switch. Because of this the master
[ON] switch must be engaged in order to send the master
signal to the matrix via the [TO MATRIX] switch.
2 [SUM GAIN] Control and Indicator
3 ∑·PEAK Indicators
The ∑·PEAK indicators indicate the state of the signal
after summing in each master. The indicators light when
the mixed signal reaches 3-dB below clipping. When a
∑·PEAK indicator lights it is advisable to rotate the
corresponding [SUM GAIN] control counterclockwise
to reduce the sum gain to prevent possible overloading (a
maximum reduction of 20 dB is possible). The SUM
GAIN [ON] indicator will light to notify the operator
that sum gain reduction is in effect.
4 [TB/OSC] Switch
When the [TB/OSC] switch is engaged the oscillator
and/or talkback signal can be sent to any or all of the
console's master outputs as well as the matrix. The
signal to be sent is determined by the talkback section
controls (page 38).
6 [INSERT] Switch
When this switch is engaged external equipment
connected to the corresponding INSERT IN and OUT
connectors is inserted into the master signal.
7 [RECALL SAFE] Switch
Engaging this switch prevents the corresponding
master's settings from being changed by a scene recall
operation. The parameters to be protected can be
specified via a utility function (page 65).

8 Master Fader

Determines the output level presented at the
corresponding master output connector.
N OTE
The stereo aux master modules are dual configurations, each
including two stereo master faders.

9 Master [ON] Switch

Turns output of the corresponding master on or off.
When a master [ON] switch is engaged and lit, the
master signal is available at the corresponding master
output.
$ [CUE] Switch
The [CUE] switches are used to monitor the
corresponding master signals via the console's cue bus.
PFL (pre-fader listen) or AFL (after-fader listen) can be
selected as required. When the monitor control section
[MASTER PFL] switch is engaged, the [CUE] switches
send the master's pre-fader signal to the cue bus. If the
[MASTER PFL] switch is disengaged the post-fader
master signal is sent to the cue bus.
N OTE
With the initial default setup the AFL signal cannot be monitored
unless the master [ON] switch is engaged. This can be changed to
allow AFL monitoring even when the master [ON] switch is
disengaged via a utility function (PRE ON, see page 69).
