Notes on DIP switch Settings
(a) Autocue is the feature where cue audio is heard in the monitor speakers
instead of in a second set of cue speakers. The monitor signal is still present but
dimmed behind the cue audio. If autocue is not enabled, a second set of pow-
ered cue speakers must be connected to the system’s cue output. Note that there
are some options that disable the cue output and require cue by Autocue.
(b) Tallys are the logic associated with each input source. This is a global set-
ting as ALL momentary or all sustained.
(c) Manual faders are the physical console faders. Use the Virtual fader setting
when controlling the console remotely from a PC running virtual console soft-
ware.
(d) The “In hand setting” is the 0VU position (2/3rds) on the channel slide
faders.
(e) -10dB is the level used by consumer sources such as consumer CD players.
(f) Phone channel Setup:
Assign phone to channel based on 3 DIP switches setup as below:
Channel Setup 1 Setup 2 Setup 3
3 Off Off Off
4 On Off Off
5 Off On Off
6 On On Off
7 Off Off On
8 On Off On
9 Off On On
10 On On On
(g) If channels one or two are set as mics, then those channels will mute the
control room monitor, cue output, and trigger the muting logic output when
they are on.
(h) selecting channel 11 or 12 as the line input for channel 1 or 2 mics allows
an external mic processor to be used with the main control room mic(s).
