Description
Sets the output limiter threshold in dBu
Keeps input limiters OFF when the LIM switch is activated
Selects the nominal output level of the active-balanced TA3
outputs
Selects the nominal output level of the active-balanced TA3
channel direct outputs
Selects the ƒ of the sine wave setup tone
Selects the output level of the tone oscillator in dBu
Selects whether tone is present on the Direct Outputs
Selects whether slate mic is activated when slate toggle switch
is activated
Allows return A|B toggle to be defeated and be reassigned to
send slate mic signal to right TA3 output when toggled
Selects whether PFL level is indicated on the output meter
Selects indication of monitor in signal level on the output meter
(post monitor gain control) when the monitor toggle is activated
Selects 0 VU to dBu reference
Changes monitoring to hear program audio in one ear and
monitor A in the other ear. Return A is summed and appears
in R (right) headphone and L program appears in L (left) head-
phone. Is only active when Return toggle switch is activated.
