OSCILLATOR

The 4 frequency oscillator can be

assigned either to buses 1-16 or

to the stereo mix bus. The level

is adjustable and when not in use

the oscillator should be completely

turned off.

1 Oscillator FREQUENCY

selection switches. Frequencies

of 40Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz or

15kHz can be selected using

the two switches.

2 O s c i l l a t o r R O U T I N G

switches. These route the

oscillator signal directly to

either the buses 1-16 or the

stereo mix bus.

3 Oscillator LEVEL Control.

4 Oscillator ON switch.

During normal operation of

the console ensure that the

oscillator is switched OFF.

5 SOLO level control.

6 SOLO IN FRONT alters the

ratio of the SOLO signal to the

MIX signal making it possible

to listen to the SOLO’d signal

in isolation or combined with

some amount of the stereo

mix.

7 The SIP switch switches the

console into SOLO IN PLACE

mode. This means that the solo

signal will replace the mix

signal at the stereo output of

the console.

8 This selects either PFL or

AFL mode. This switch is not

effective in SOLO IN PLACE

mode.

SOLO

This is the master control area

for the AFL/PFL and SOLO IN

PLACE system. If SIP is not

illuminated then the console will

be in either AFL or PFL mode

depending upon the PFL/AFL

switch.

PFL allows pre fade signals to be

auditioned on the monitors and

viewed on the master meters by

pressing the SOLO button on the

appropriate channel strip.

AFL allows the post fade post

pan signals to be auditioned on

the monitors and viewed on the

master meters by pressing the

SOLO button on the appropriate

channel strip.

A control adjusts the relative level

of the solo signal and the mix

signal allowing the solo’d channel

to be heard in isolation or with

some amount of the mix.

SIP mode allows the post pan signal

to be auditioned by switching the

solo’d channels onto the console

output and muting the stereo mix

for the duration of the solo. Since

this happens on the mix output,

solo in place should not be used

during mixing but is very helpful

when setting up the mix.
