Main Outputs

The rest of the facilities on the SL952/953 modules will be discussed in a logical
'audio' order, starting with the console's main output controls.

Master Fader

The master fader is a four-channel fader controlling the level of the console's Left,
Centre, Right and Surround outputs. When the fader is at the top of its travel, the
main output VCAs are bypassed by relays, as indicated by a blue LED above the fader.
Switching in the Output Compressor, moving the master fader down, or adjusting the
associated Offset control (see below), switches the VCAs seamlessly back into circuit.
An automation status switch and LEDs are fitted next to the fader.

Offset control

This raises or lowers, by ± 20dB, the level of the main output VCAs, allowing the
master fader to be left at maximum while adjusting the gain of the main outputs.
