OPERATIONAL & APPLICATION NOTES

Limiter: Attack and release times are preset internally.

Threshold: Limiter threshold adjustment. (See application note AN 2D v2)

The LED adjacent to the limiter switch indicates limiter action.

PFL/AFL: Selects prefade listen or after (post) fade listen. All other inputs to monitor 1 will be disconnect-

ed (except private line and communication in). The LED indicates whether PFL or AFL is select-

ed as the switch is not momentary. Use ‘PFL’ in the meter section to indicate levels.

Aux 1, 2: PF = Pre-fader, AF = After-fader.

A separate mix may be made using these busses. Levels are matched pre / post

with the channel fader at ‘0’. Master gains are on the output module. Note:

Insure that unused channel auxiliary pots are set at minimum.

Channel Fader: For optimum headroom and versatility it is best to operate the channel fader

around the zero point. Therefore, the microphone preamp gain trim should be

adjusted during rehearsals with the channel fader at ‘0’ so that the average

program level will modulate the meter to ‘0’ dB. During the take, the channel fader

may be used for controlling the channel gain.

O / L LED: Nominally set for 3 dB below M. O. L. (Maximum output level) with the channel

fader at ‘0’. Occasional flash of the indicator on peaks is not a problem. If the

indicator is consistently on, microphone preamp gain should be reduced.

N/S: Optional decode circuit for M/S mic configurations. (See application note AN 2E v.2)

N = normal, S = side - If the circuit is not installed the switch should be left in the N position.

Pan Pot & Switch: Switching the pan switch to the left disables the pan pot. (Crosstalk is therefore minimized and

the output levels will remain equal.)
