FIVE Monitor Functional Description

+

+4488VV

The +48V switch applies phantom power to the Talkback mic input XLRs when

pressed.

q

--3300ddBB

The -30dB switch inserts a 30dB pad in the input for use with high level signals or

external test generators.

w

FFOOHH

The FOH button (momentary/latching, green LED) initiates talkback to the front

of house console using either the Soundcraft proprietary “Blythphone” system, or

a Clear-Com™ compatible intercom system. With the latter, an incoming CALL

signal is displayed by the console lamps flashing, and pressing the FOH button will

then allow 2-way communication, with incoming Talkback appearing on the con-

sole headphone Output, dimming the existing signal by 15dB, and dimming the

wedge Output by 20dB.

e

TTOO OOUUTTPPUUTTSS VVIIAA TTBB ((IINNTT))

Pressing TO OUTPUTS VIA TB (INT) routes the talkback signal internally to any

outputs (Group or Matrix) which have been previously armed for talkback (local

TB switch ON). If the switch is pressed momentarily, the switch latches.

Alternatively, pressing and holding the switch for more than about one second

produces a momentary action until the switch is released. The switch illuminates

to warn that TB is active. This action also dims the wedge Output by 20dB.

r

CCAALLLL

Pressing the momentary CALL switch sends a CALL signal to the intercom loop.

Talkback communication may then be activated by pressing FOH (see above).

t

PPFFLL TTRRIIMM

The PFL trim control gives +/-10dB of level adjustment to the input solo level

heard in the Wedge and Phones outputs. The output AFL solos have their own

individual trim controls on their respective output modules.

y

SSOOLLOO CCLLEEAARR

Pressing SOLO CLEAR cancels any solos on the console.

u

IINNPPUUTT PPRRIIOORRIITTYY

The INPUT PRIORITY (ON) switch, when selected, allows an input solo to tem-

porarily override any output solo which may be present. When the input solo is

released, the original output solo will reappear on the monitors. If AUTOCAN-

CEL (see below) is also ON, input solos still have priority, but input solos will only

cancel other input solos, and output solos will only cancel other output solos.

i

AAUUTTOO CCAANNCCEELL

The AUTOCANCEL (ON) button, when selected, allows any solo button selected

to cancel the previous solo, so that only one SOLO can be active at once. With

the switch released, SOLOs are additive.

o

MMAASSTTEERR MMOODDEE ((PPFFLL // AAFFLL))

The global PFL/AFL mode for the console is set by this switch, as either PFL

(switch released) or AFL (switch pressed).
