Basic Routing and Signal Flow

Basic Routing and Signal Flow
In order to understand signal flow through the console, it is probably best to start with
the status buttons located on the SL952J Master Panel. These buttons determine basic
signal paths in the SL911J I/O module, so they are very important. Exact details of
each local control can be found in Sections 3 and 5.
MASTER SMALL
MASTER
READY INPUT FADER
GROUP FLIP TO MON
STATUS
RECORD REPLAY MIX
LOCK
When first setting up the console, you should always check these buttons and select
them correctly for the particular mode you wish to work in.
There are four basic desk statuses: RECORD, REPLAY, MIX and RECORD + MIX
(overdub). The SMALL FADER TO MON(ITOR) and MASTER INPUT FLIP buttons
also affect I/O module signal flow.
Each I/O module has two completely independent audio signal paths, the 'Channel'
path and the 'Monitor' path (typical of an In-Line console). This gives the system
flexibility, but may cause some confusion if you don't understand which areas of each
module are dealing with each of these signals.
