Group aux inputs.
An additional 16 inputs with treble and bass equalisation can be routed directly to the groups or via
a pan to the masters mix and can be further controlled by assignment to any of the 10 VCA masters.
Master.
The stereo master module provides the main left and right console outputs plus 4 more record
outputs and a mono output. A solo to master facility is incorporated on the left, right and mono
outputs to aid the engineer at sound checks.
Output meters.
28 peak reading meters (each covering a 60dB range in 3dB steps) are used to monitor all the main
outputs i.e. 16 groups, 8 matrix, 2 masters and 2 local outputs. They and can be switched globally
to monitor pre fader or post fader signals and can also be used to monitor the 24 aux outputs.
10 input VCA faders.
10 motorised VCA master faders control the channel and aux inputs whilst a further 2 VCA grand
master faders control the audio groups. Each VCA master has a solo switch which gives the
engineer an opportunity to monitor the signals within the VCA subgroup. Also incorporated is a
VCA mute which act on post fader signals only and effectively adds a further 12 automute scenes
to the existing dedicated automutes.
Matrix.
As standard the 8 matrix outputs derive their signals from the 16 audio groups, left and right
masters creating a 18X8matrix. The module also houses the stereo aux masters which have their
own outputs at all times but which can be routed directly into the matrix giving an additional 48 X
8 matrix sourcing direct from the input channels.
Automutes.
The 8 automute masters can be assigned to any input or audio group and act on pre fader and post
fader signals. Apart from assignment the operation of these mutes is entirely independent of the
automation system.
Automation.
The automation system can store and recall up to 2000 scenes. All channel routing and major
functions are automated as well as all major output mutes. The 12 motorised VCA master faders
give dynamic control of signal levels within the console and all automation information can be
exported or imported in a variety of different mediums for storage or console and system linking.
