J MATRIX and 2-TRACK
2-TRACK Output
The 2-track output is sourced from the main LR mix.
The factory default setting is post master LR faders.
If you want to source pre-insert, pre-fader then
replug the internal jumper links on the LR MIX
circuit board as shown below. For stereo recording
from a three channel LCR mix, or by creating a new
balance from the groups, use the MATRIX outputs
instead.
8 Matrix outputs are available. Each has 12
sources derived from grp/aux 1-8, the LRC main
mixes and external input. Conveniently positioned
away from the other controls, these can be used to
create independent mixes for distributed speaker
systems, recording, broadcast, video and other
special feeds. They include automated mutes,
talkback assign, balanced XLR outputs and inserts
for patching in important processing such as EQ,
dynamics or delay, and mono/stereo AFL.
J1 GRP/AUX 1-8. Each of the first 8 masters
can be mixed into the matrix. This is either group or
aux depending on the configuration of the mode
switches F1 . The source is derived post-fader.
Adjust the level clockwise from fully off to +6dB
boost. The ‘0dB’ position is marked.
J2 L,R,C. Each channel of the main outputs can
be mixed into the matrix. The source is derived
post-fader. Adjust the level clockwise from fully off
to a maximum +6dB boost.
J3 EXT. IN. Each matrix has an input connector
for mixing in an external line level source. Adjust
the level clockwise from fully off to a maximum
+6dB boost.
J4 TB ENABLE. Press this to enable talkback to
the matrix output. When selected, pressing the
TALK TO TB switch S6 routes the talkback mic
signal, or pressing the OSC/NOISE TO TB switch
Q3 routes the osc/noise generator signal to the
output. When not selected, pressing these switches
does not affect the output. The talkback and
osc/noise signals are routed pre master level.
J5 MASTER LEVEL. Adjusts the master output
level from fully off to a maximum boost of +6dB.
The normal ‘0’ position is marked.
J6 MUTE. This momentary action switch turns
the matrix master signal on or off. The master can
also be muted by the mute groups, snapshot
memories, solo-in-place and MIDI note on/off
messages. The switch illuminates when the signal
is muted.
The switch also functions as a solo select when the
console is in SIP mode, and as an edit key when in
EDIT GROUPS or EDIT SAFES mode. The mute
status is always displayed on the switch regardless
of mode.
