VCA group master control features

This section controls VCA levels of any assigned input channels or audio
groups assigned to the VCA group.VCA control of audio groups is a unique
feature not offered on most other VCA consoles. For more information on
using VCA control of audio groups, see Section on VCA Group Operation.

vca group Channel MUTE switch

This mute switch follows the assignment of the channels VCA system.

When activated, it mutes all assigned input and audio group channels except
when channel or group safe mode is activated. All primary and auxiliary
outputs will be muted, including pre fader aux sends if internal mute jumper
is in default pre fader mute YES position.

100mm VCA control fader
Controls relative volume levels of all input and audio group channels
assigned to the VCA group. (No audio passes through this fader.)

unity LED indicator

Illuminates when the fader is at its unity gain position. At unity gain,

input or audio group channels may be assigned (or removed from assign-
ment) without a level change.

VCA Group edit switch

When selected, this switch allows editing of VCA assignments for input

and analog group channels. In this mode, the selected VCA Group Edit
switch will illuminate and flash. Only one Edit switch can be selected at a
time, and selection of the VCA Group Edit Switch will override any SOLO
switch selected (solo clear). To exit VCA Edit Mode, press the selected (illu-
minated and flashing) switch to toggle it to the off position.

Whenever a VCA Group Edit switch is flashing, the SOLO-VCA EDIT
switches will flash on all input and group channels assigned to that VCA
group.

For a complete discussion of VCA group editing, see section on VCA Group
Operation.

VCA SOLO switch

When selected, this switch illuminates and activates all input and audio

group SOLO switches assigned to that VCA group. All channels are moni-
tored within the solo system as a related group. The VCA SOLO system
also may be used to quickly review VCA assignments, though no modifica-
tion of assignment is permitted.
