291.6.8 Slate button
292. The slate button routes the slate microphone to the main L & R outputs, and if jumper 9 is installed, also to the AUX mix-bus (jumper 9-slate to AUX). By selecting pos. 4
on the DIP mini-switch a 27 Hz slate tone is sent to the main mix, and AUX (if jumper 9 is installed), every time you press the slate button.
293.
294.6.9 Guest button
295. When pressing the Guest button the slate microphone is routed to the guest monomix. This allows the mixer operator to talk to the agency folk independently and lets
her or him keep the so called "private line " with the boom operator.
296.
297.6.10 Boom button
298. The boom button routes the slate microphone to the boom operator's headphone monitor and it also routes the boom operator's tbk microphone to the mixer operator's
headphone monitor if "Boom active" is off. If boom active is on, (DIP mini-switch S-1 pos. 2 on), the boom operators tbk mic is permanently routed to the mixer operator's
headphone monitor.
299.
300.6.11 Boom LED
301. This LED lights as soon as the boom operator pushes his call button on the boom box, (provided that pin-6 of the 6 pin Neutrik and Gnd are connected to the Boom Box
and the SX-S). This feature is used for the boom operator to call the mixer operator without disturbing the mixer operator in his work. There are 2 modes configurable by
the DIP-mini switch:
• Memory: The call LED will light and stay lit until the mixer operator pushes the boom operator button on the extension module which resets the LED. This
operation implies that the mixer operator and boom operator can talk to each other while the mixer operator is pushing the boom button. After the operation is
completed the LED will be off until the boom operator calls again.
• Call LED momentary: (DIP mini-switch S-1 pos. 3 on), In this mode the call LED lights only momentarily while the boom operator is pressing the call button.
302.
303.6.12 STOP/ROLL
304. The STOP/ROLL controls the recorder connected to the SX-S. In Stop the recorder is in Stop mode and in Roll the recorder is in Record mode and is recording audio
material through the SX-S Mixer. One exception is the Stelladat; the mini-switch on the extension box selects Stop or Pause. That is: Stop on the extension module can
either be Stop or Pause on the Stelladat, Roll is in both cases Record mode. A minor modification in the extension box will remove the stop or pause mode; this allows a
Stelladat user to go into record and record a new Start ID by each press of the roll button. However, in this way, to stop the recorder, the mixer operator needs to push
stop on the recorder itself. (The Stelladat needs to be in one button record mode).
305.
306.6.13 Roll Indication on the Boom Operator Box
307. An LED indicates a roll situation to the boom operator, thus the boom operator knows when the mixer operator is recording, provided that pin-6 of the 6-pin Neutrik and
Gnd are connected to the Boom Box and the SX-S.
308.
309.6.14 TAPE/DIRECT Switch
310. The Tape / direct switch selects between monitoring the Audio signal before the tape or after the tape (off-tape-monitoring). This allows you to immediately check the
recorded program material, provided your recorder has the tape monitoring feature. A Dip switch provides you with the choice of a manual or an automatic Tape/direct
function. In manual mode you use the tape direct switch to listen either before or after the tape. In automatic mode as soon as you press the roll button you monitor the
signal from tape and as you press stop the direct signal. (DIP mini-switch 1 off auto/ on manual).
311. The Tape return rotary switch on the extension box selects the tape return source.

366. The SX-S Extension Module is available in various configurations. It will occupy two spaces in the mixer.

368.6.15 SX022241 SX-S Stereo analog level & Phase meter
369. This module consists of two very high quality meter movements for the Left and Right channels. The meter scales can be illuminated with two intensities. The meters can
be switched to indicate as VU meters or as peak-meters. They can also be switched between mono and stereo. In mono mode the left meter functions as a phase
correlation meter while the right channel meter always indicates the greater of the two signals. LEDs indicate which channel is the greater.
