Compex Systems Professional Portable Mixing Console SONOSAX SX-S - Manual (Page 13)

6.8 Slate button
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.
6.9 Guest button
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.
6.10 Boom button
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.
6.11 Boom LED
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.
6.12 STOP/ROLL
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).
6.13 Roll Indication on the Boom Operator Box
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.
