Console functions.
1 Sub-group Meter. There are
8 peak reading sub-group
meters - 1 for each sub-group
output.
2 Over Indicator. When
illuminated the signal is in
danger of being clipped and
the level should be reduced.
Like the main meters this
will illuminate with a signal
level of +20dBu. 0dBFS is
indicated at a level of +18dBu,
which normally corresponds
to full modulation on a digital
recorder.
3 0VU. When the signal is at
a level of +4dBu the bars
should be illuminated up to
this point. Note that this is not
meant to be normal operating
level because the meters are
peak reading.
THE Sub-group/
LINE INPUT 17-24
METERS
There 8 sub-group outputs meters
on the console (only 2 have been
shown for clarity). The sub-groups
are accessed in parallel with the
main bus outputs and only the
first 8 buses therefore have a
corresponding sub-group.
The sub-groups are able to feed the
stereo mix and also have their own
outputs located on the rear panel of
the console.
The sub-group outputs can be
directly used to feed a DAW or
other recording device.
The sub-group insert returns can
also be used to access line inputs
17-24, which share access to the
same routing and level controls as
the sub-groups themselves.
A typical use for the sub-groups
would be during mixdown when
a number of signals are to be
combined to one fader for simpler
control. If the signals are on the
LF path then they must first of all
be sent to the routing matrix by
pressing the button in the routing
section. By routing the signals to
buses 1 through 8 they will also be
routed to the sub-groups.
