Internal Programming Options

Internal programming for the control room/studio module is made via
printed circuit board (PCB) mounted dipswitch SW1 located on the top of
the module (beneath the DB-25 connectors). Note when a dipswitch
position is thrown to the right it is ON.

Cue Interrupt

Dipswitch SW1 pos. 5-7 determines how the console's Cue function
will interrupt regular monitor signals:
SW1 position 7 sends cue to CR left
SW1 position 6 sends cue to CR right
SW1 position 5 sends cue to HDPN*

CR/Cue Mute

The audio from both the control room speakers and the console's built-
in meterbridge speaker can easily be picked up by the console operator's
microphone. This is a potential source of feedback. For this reason the
console provides muting to the control room output and the built-in cue
speaker whenever a mic programmed for control room/HDPN3 mute is
turned ON with A selected as the input source (see page 3-3).
SW1 position 4 will mute cue and the CR output whenever an input

Studio Mute

When SW1 pos 3 is activated, it automatically mutes talkback out and
the console's studio output whenever an input module programmed for
studio/studio 2 mute is turned ON with A selected as the input source. This
is used to prevent feedback from studio mics.

Studio Dim

Input modules controlling studio microphones can be programmed to
MUTE a studio whenever the module is turned on (i.e., it's microphone is
live). If you wish, you can have a studio DIM (drop -20dB in level) instead
of MUTE:
SW1 positions 1 causes Studio right to DIM
SW1 positions 2 causes Studio left to DIM
Note the DIM functions also affect the talkback interrupt. Note also if the studio
is muted, talkback cannot be heard. However, if the studio is programmed to DIM
instead of MUTE, talkback audio could presumably make it from the studio
monitor speakers to the open studio mic.
