The METERS monitor the peak signal
levels of the three master outputs
(post fader).
The SOLO IN PLACE switch sets the
console to solo in place mode. In this
mode any input solo that is pressed
activates a mute of all the other channels.
The mute safe switches on the input
channels can be used to protect channels
from this function if desired.
The DIRECT input controls give
continuous adjustment of the direct input
levels from + 10dB to off. The direct
signals are summed into the master left
and right signals and can be used as
effects returns etc. or for console bus
linking. The master mono also has a
direct input XLR on the rear of the
console for which is intended for console
linking only.
The direct PRE switches move the point
at which the direct signals are summed
into the masters. The default is post insert
but when the PRE switches are active the
signals are summed at the master mix
busses.
The direct MUTE switches mute the
master direct inputs at all points.

SOLO SOLO
The direct SOLO switches send direct
input to the PFL mono and AFL stereo
busses. If a SOLO switch is pressed for a
short time it will latch on or off, but, if it
is held on for more than 1 second the
latching is disabled and when the switch
is released the solo will turn off. As a
default the solo system is auto cancelling
so each new solo cancels the last. This
function is time dependant which allows
several solos to be active as long as they
are switched on at approximately the
same time, i.e. to solo both sides of a
stereo mix press both solo switches at the
same time. Alternatively the SOLO ADD
MODE switch on the MONITOR module
can be used to defeat the auto cancelling
and allow multiple channel monitoring.
In this mode input channel solos have
priority over all other solos and will
temporarily override them.
