Mono input module 8411 4-1
Revision S2005-6 S-Type
7 0RQR#LQSXW#PRGXOH#;744
The S-Type mono input channel module features a microphone input amplifier, which
is the same as that fitted to the legendary J-Type - the most prevalent theatre con-
sole in the industry. The module has a full four-band parametric equaliser - also orig-
inating from the J-Type - which may be switched to pre or post the insert point. The
8411 also includes a HP-filter with a cut-off frequency of 160Hz and a slope of 12dB
per octave.
The module incorporates a fully balanced direct output with level control; normally
post fader but may be switched to pre fader or even post mic amplifier.
The input module allows routing to eight sub groups with optional pan control. It can
also route to a dedicated stereo bus via the pan control. Additionally, it is possible to
route to eight auxiliary busses; the first two of which are stereo on dual concentric
potentiometers - level on the upper control and PAN on the lower control. The
remaining six are mono with level control. All eight sends can be enabled and
selected to be sourced pre or post fader on an individual basis.
Each input channel can be assigned to up to a maximum of eight VCA masters.
The 8411 input channel module is equipped with a fully balanced insert send and
return - the send stays live irrespective of whether the insert button is pressed. Also
included are PFL and Mute buttons - inclusive of a destructive solo function.
The module is fitted with a 100mm P&G fader and located next to it, a 12 segment
prefade input meter with a range of +18dB to -36dB (meter source is pre-fader).
There is also a fader-open LED which, when extinguished, indicates that either the
channel fader is closed or muted, or an assigned VCA Master is muted or pulled
down to infinity.
