4.0 The "Split" Module
The "Split" module is not unlike most split format
input modules with the exception of a couple of
features. As you read this section, these features will
become prevalent.
Channel LED Bargraph Meters
The six segment L.E.D. bargraph meter is a
peak-reading device that conforms to world standards
for attack and release times. It reads the outgoing
level which is on the output jack of the channel
backplate. This could be the channel post-fader signal or
the group output signal (if you have depressed one of the
floating subgroup output switches 1 a-b-c or d, see 4.1
Output Section).
Note: The first LED in the bargraph is a power
supply indicator. When the channel output is +4dBu/-10dBV,
the ledbar reads -6dB (-10dB led burns).
4.1 Output Section
4.1.a.b.c.d. from subs
The Split Module uses our unique "Floating Subgroup
System" to create a subgroup anywhere in the console and
only where it is needed. This is a simple and efficient
way of using subgroups. The upper section of the
channel is completely dedicated to subgrouping. When one of
the a-b-c-d (from sub) switches is depressed, (refer to
drawing on facing page) the channel output signal is
coupled to the output of one of the eight subgroup buss
amps (located on one of the circuit boards in the
master section). In the odd modules (black switch caps)
are subgroups 1-3-5-7 only and in the even modules
(white switch caps) are 2-4-6-8 only. If no "from sub"
switch is depressed, the output is normalled to the post
fader channel amplifier (ie. direct out). Refer to
the "assign" section 4.5 of this manual for a more
in-depth understanding of the "Floating Subgroup System".
4.I.e. trim
Each channel output has an adjustable output trim
control (1-e) with a gain of 6dB and cut of 15dB. The
normal position for this control is set at 12:00.
4.1.f. sub to mix
The "sub to mix" switch (1-f) sends the channel output
signal to the stereo mix buss (odd channels to the left
and even channels to the right). This could be the
subgroup signal or the channel output. CAUTION: There are
two ways of routing signals to the stereo mix busses;
from the output section (sub to mix) (on Split modules
only) or assigning the channel to the mix (switch 5-f). Be
careful not to choose both, for
it will increase the output gain by approximately 6 dB.
