1 Sub Group Meter.
There are 8 peak
reading subgroup
meters - 1 for each sub
group output.
2 Over Indicator. When
illuminated the signal is
in danger of being
clipped and the level
should be reduced. Like
the main meters this
will illuminate with a
signal level of +20dBu.
0dBFS is indicated at a
level of +18dBu, which
normally corresponds
to full modulation on a
digital recorder.
3 0VU. When the signal is
at a level of +4dBu the
bars should be
illuminated up to this
point. Note that this is
not meant to be normal
operating level because
the meters are peak
reading.
THE SUB GROUPS
There 8 sub group outputs
on the console (only 2 have
been shown for clarity).
The sub groups are
accessed in parallel with
the main group outputs
and only the first 8 groups
therefore have a
corresponding sub group.
The sub groups are able to
feed the stereo mix and also
have their own outputs
located on the rear panel of
the console.
The sub group outputs can
be directly used to feed an
8 track recorder.
A typical use for the sub
groups would be during
mixdown when a number
of signals are to be
combined to one fader for
simpler control. If the
signals are on the LF path
then they must first of all
be sent to the routing
matrix by pressing the
button in the routing
section. By routing the
signals to groups 1 through
8 they will also be routed to
the sub groups.
