Although the three channel bay components are separate modules, they work together in
tandem as a single multifaceted unit to display and control various channel parameters. The
Channel Fader panel offers traditional channel mixing controls, while the multi functional
Channel Control panel focuses on controlling specific parameters as needed as well as how
they are displayed on the Channel LCD monitor.
Channel Control Modes
Within a Fairlight channel bay, the Channel Control panel works in three distinct channel control
modes. These modes, in turn, change the functions of the multipurpose channel control knobs
and buttons as well as the corresponding display in the LCD module:
In-line: This mode effectively separates the knobs and buttons on the channel control
module into 12 groups that line up vertically with the 12 faders on the channel fader
control. As the name suggests, in-line mode shows each set of parameters in a line
that continues from the fader channels up through the channel controls and into the
display on the LCD monitor. In-line Display buttons on the right side of the Channel
Control panel determine which in-line parameters are shown. This mode is common in
live recording so that the operator can easily see and control parameters of multiple
microphone inputs simultaneously.
