The simplified block diagram on this page
shows the short and long fader paths. The
FLIP switch is at the input of both paths
and determines whether the MIC/LINE or
the TAPE input is used for a particular path.
The normal position for all switches on the
console is UP and with the FLIP switch in
this position the TAPE signal is routed
through the LF path as shown.
By studying the diagram it can be seen
that the MIC/LINE input is routed through
the SF path but that when the FLIP switch
is pressed this situation is reversed and
the TAPE signal is now routed through the
SF path.
There are switches labelled SF associated
with both the HF/LF equaliser and the MID
equaliser. Again the normal position of
these switches is UP, placing the equalisers
in the LF path.
By pressing the SF switches the equaliser
sections can be moved over to the SF path.
Thus it is possible to have the entire
equaliser in either the LF or SF path or one
section of the equaliser in each path. This
situation could be useful when both the
LF and SF paths are used for mixdown.
If the multi-track recordings are to be made
with equalisation then the equalizers
should be placed in the SF path. Note in
this situation that you will hear the effect
of the equalisation and it will be recorded.
When the equaliser is in the LF path you
will hear the changes but they will not be
recorded on the multi-track recorder. They
will only be recorded if a stereo recording
is made, as will be the case when mixing
the title.
It is possible the source the auxiliaries from
the SF path by pressing the SF switch
associated with each pair of auxiliaries.
The auxiliaries can further be selected to
be either pre or post fader for whichever
path they are in.
