Internal Link Options

Several link options are available to satisfy user

preferences. These require removal of the console

base panels and replugging of 2way jumpers on the

circuit boards. It is not necessary to remove

assemblies from the console. To avoid damage to

the internal assemblies this work should be carried

out by competent technical personnel.

Pre-fade Source. The source for the pre-fade aux

sends may be changed by repositioning jumper

links on each mono and stereo channel. The

default factory setting is pre-insert, pre-EQ, post-

mute. This is usually preferred when mixing

monitors from front-of-house. Select the source as

pre-insert, pre-EQ, or post-EQ by setting one

jumper. Select pre or post mute by setting another.

Set pairs of links on the stereo channels to affect

left and right signals.

Direct Output Source. The default factory setting

is post-fade. This can be changed to pre-fade.

Pre-fade follows the source as described above.

An additional option sources the output from the

AUX1 send control. This provides a post-fade

direct output with level trim. If preferred, the

channel feed to the AUX1 rotary master can be

disabled so that adjusting the direct output level

does not feed the mix. Note that this does not

affect the AUX1 send to the fader master when aux

mode is selected. Select the source as pre-fade,

post-fade, or post-fade with AUX1 trim by setting its

jumper. Set another jumper to turn the AUX1 feed

to the rotary master on or off as required.

Using the GRP/AUX Sends

Configure the master mode switches F1 according

to the number of audio groups you need. It is

usually fewer on a VCA equipped console where it

is determined by the number of group processors

you want to insert, or the number of groups needed

to feed the matrix. The rest can be used as fully

featured aux sends with fader masters.

Audio Groups. These let you route channels to

independent outputs, mix into the matrix, or insert a

common signal processor to affect more than one

signal, for example a compressor on a vocal group.

Up to 8 groups may be configured. Route the

channel signal by pressing one or more group

switches B1 . For mono groups make sure the

GRP PAN ON switch C4 is in its up position. For

stereo groups select this and press the related

odd/even pair of routing switches. Use the PAN

control C3 to position the signal in the stereo

image, and the fader to control its level.

Effects Sends. Use post-fade aux sends to feed

effects processors such as reverb. The output of

the processor should be returned to the mix through

another channel, typically a stereo input. Aux 1-8

B2 feed the rotary master outputs H with the

channel post-fade signal and are always available

regardless of the master mode switch settings. The

rotary masters are convenient for set-and-leave

level trimming to the effects processor. If you need

more control, for example fader adjustment and

mute automation of the send, then use auxes with

fader master, either aux 9-16 G or 1-8 F with

master mode switch pressed.

Monitor Sends. Use aux sends to provide

independent monitor mixes to the performers, MD,

backstage crew and so on. These may feed stage

wedges, side fills, hotspot speakers, headphones

and in-ear monitors, and may be mono or stereo.

For full control with faders, meters, inserts and

automation use aux 9-16 G and/or 1-8 F with

master mode switches pressed. Select pre-fade

B1 B4 when mixing monitors from front-of-house

so that the main mix does not affect the monitors.

However, you may prefer to set some channels

post-fade, for example to avoid backstage pickup

when working with radio microphones. Select post-

fade when using the console for dedicated monitor

mixing so that the channel fader becomes the

master for that signal to all mixes. Up to 4 stereo

monitors may be configured by selecting STEREO

B3 . This provides separate level and pan controls

and is ideal for in-ear monitoring.

Special Sends. The aux sends can be used for

any application where an independent mix is

required. Select pre or post-fade and mono or

stereo as required.
