MAIN MIX MASTERS
WEDGE MODE. This underpanel mode switch
configures the C output to become the engineers
monitor when the console is used for the stage
monitor application. When pressed the monitor
source is routed in mono through the C insert and
fader to the main output. The C mix bypasses this
section and is available from the matrix outputs if
needed. The switch is protected to prevent
accidental operation. Use a pen or pointed
implement to select the required mode.
IDENT STRIP. Identifies the masters and provides
a write-on area. The use of low adhesion artist or
masking tape is recommended.
FADER MASTERS The main mix L,R and C each
have a 100mm smooth travel ALPS fader providing
+10dB gain above the nominal 0dB operating
position. These faders are not part of the console
VCA group system and pass audio in the
conventional way.
Using the Engineers Wedge Monitor
It is best to use the same type of monitor speaker
as provided on stage. This lets the engineer hear
the sound as the performer hears it.
Select the underpanel WEDGE MODE switch to
configure the C output as the engineers wedge
monitor. Use the insert to patch in any processing
required, for example an EQ to preview changes in
the monitor before applying them to the mix being
checked.
Select LR, C, 2-TRK or none as the default monitor
source. Pressing AFL overrides the source to listen
to a selected output. Pressing PFL overrides any
AFL selection to check one or more inputs.
Releasing PFL restores the previously selected
AFL. This is well suited to monitor mixing where
you need to listen to the mixes in turn but quickly
check individual inputs along the way.
Pressing the TALK TO TB switch automatically
dims the output by 20dB to prevent feedback
between the local speaker and talkback mic. OO
