Control Loudspeaker
A control loudspeaker (page 14) with a deliberately limited bandwidth is integrated on the back
side of the recorder. It's switched ON or OFF with the HP switch (page 10), in the lower right
of the monitoring panel. It's level can be adjusted with the monitoring level control .
The loudspeaker is switched off automatically in REC mode.
Slate Microphone
The slate microphone is useful for the user to record a take number or a commentary on tape (on
all available tracks). The microphone works only in REC mode and its activation is software
assigned (Configuration Menu > Function keys def) either to the PRG key
(page 8), and/or
to one of the Function keys F1 to F5 ( , , , , page 6). The microphone can be
programmed in solo mode (Mic mute option) or in addition to other incoming signals (Mic
option).
1 kHz Tone Generator
The generator is active in STOP and REC modes. Its level depends of the selected dB scale. On
the -12 dB and -18 dB scales its level is at the scale's zero, i.e. -12 dB FS and -18 dB FS
respectively. On the 0 dB DSP scale its level is - 9 dB FS (EBU standard). See Output levels
table on page 74. The generator's activation is software assigned (Configuration menu >
Function keys def.) either to the PRG key
(page 8), and/or to one of the Function keys F1 to
F5 ( , , , , page 6). The generator can be programmed in solo or in addition to other
incoming signals. Moreover, for measure or test tasks, the function keys can be set in toggle
mode.
Main Keyboard
The main command keys are located on the front side of the recorder.
Fast Forward (FF) key. The LED lights up. To stop : STOP key.
Two or more rapid keystrokes put the recorder in Index forward search mode. e.g. 6
strokes = 6 ID forward. The LED glows up. When all leds are off: the searched ID is
reached. Stelladat II's behavior depends then from the selected Mode after loc option
from the Configuration menu.
In PLAY mode: Audible search mode forward at x5 speed.
