AEQ FORUM
Digital audio mixer for broadcast applications
95
The available options in the snapshots advanced configuration menu, described from left to
right and top to bottom, are:
• “Label”: alphanumeric label for the snapshot memory.
• “Faders”: 20 drop-down menus allow you to assign an input audio channel to each one
of the physical faders of the control surface (up to 12 for AEQ FORUM and up to 20 for
AEQ GRAND FORUM). The faders are numbered, from left to right, 1 through 20. The
number of faders to configure depends on the number of 4 faders modules (FRCH)
installed on the AEQ FORUM control surface (1, 2 or 3 FRCH modules can be installed,
providing then with a maximum of 4, 8 or 12 channels) or AEQ GRAND FORUM control
surface (4 or 5 FRCH modules can be installed, providing then with a maximum of 16 or
20 channels).
• “Talkback MIC”: allows you to configure the operation of the microphone input present
in the common I/O’s section at the rear panel of the AEQ FORUM. When “Self-Control”
checkbox is not activated, that input is configured only as an orders microphone toward
studio or return for any open communication lines (this is a typical configuration for AEQ
FORUM when installed in a Studio/Control configuration). When “Self-Control”
checkbox is activated, that input is configured as autocontrol microphone (it
simultaneously works as orders microphone), so the host of the radio program is also
the operator of the mixing console (this is a typical configuration when the Studio and
Control areas of the radio station are in the same room). Only when “Self-Control”
checkbox is activated you can assign the talkback mic to a fader (when it’s not
activated, the mic will not appear in the channels list).
• “Studio”: section where you can configure the initial activation of one or several keys to
send signal to monitor and headphones placed
under the display of the studio
monitoring section. The available options are “Program”, “Audition”, “Cue” and “Sel”
(when section is configured in “Exclusive” mode, you can activate only one key: see
section 4.2.4.1 of this manual). “Sel Input” and “Sel Out” drop-down menus allows you
to select a single input, output or internal summing bus to associate it initially with the
“SEL” monitoring key (that selection can be modify later by means of “HP/SOURCE”
encoder).
