Solos
The solo signals can be selected for each monitor system (A and B) to be AFL, PFL,
additive or interlock cancelling. PFL and AFL audio buses may accept injected
external signals, and two control knob level controls make adjustments.
PFL and AFL levels are adjustable via the p level and a level control knobs;
see “solo system section”.
The function of the buttons in each solo section is as follows:
• PFL switch, sends mono pre-fader listen (PFL) solo bus signals to
headphones and local monitor outputs. With PFL switch disabled
(LED extinguished), stereo after fader listen (AFL) solo bus signals are sent to
headphones and local monitor outputs.
• ADD switch, allows multiple channel access to solo buses. When solo
add mode is o, pressing a solo switch cancels any currently active solos.
Multiple solos (for example, stereo left and right signals) can be monitored
in this mode provided solo switches are pressed at approximately the
same time. When solo add mode is on, auto-cancelling is defeated, which
allows multiple channel or output soloing. In this mode, input solos have
priority over output solos and VCA solos, and will temporarily override them.
When input solo is cancelled, output solo or VCA solos will return.
• CLEAR switch, illuminates when a solo switch is active in its monitor
section and, when pressed, clears any solo switches in that section.
Solo mode
On the GUI, the solo mode section has a select button by which you can cycle
through the solo mode options to select the one you want. Each option has an
LED that illuminates when its option is selected.
The options are as follows:
• normal — both solo systems (A and B), are active and behave as a single
solo system.
• dual op. — in dual operator mode, both solo systems (A and B) are totally
independent of each other. The solo B button, in addition to routing the
soloed material to monitoring system B, determines which set of PFL, ADD
and CLEAR controls (see “solo (a and b) sections”) are applied to the solo.
• lcr mon. — left-centre-right monitor mode is similar to normal mode, but
when nothing is being soloed the left and right masters are routed to the
monitor A output and the mono master is routed to the monitor B output.
Pressing any solo switch on the control centre temporarily overrides the
selected primary source selection, while the talk assignment is unaected
(this signal is summed further down the signal path, so as not to aect the
monitor meters).
Each mode changes interleaving logic between dierent areas of
monitor output.
• broadcast — routes stereo masters to the monitor A output and activates
all the solo B controls so that soloed material is routed to the monitor
B outputs. This allows the master outputs to be continually broadcast
(probably the on-air program), while the other material is soloed.
• user def. — in user-dened mode, you can set up the monitoring
system. These settings are recalled on return to this mode after using one
of the other solo modes, for example, normal mode or broadcast mode.
(User dened monitor settings are not stored in scenes or show les.)
• surround — all levels are controlled from the channel A fader.
Solo system
The solo system section has three control knobs, as follows:
• p level control knob — PFL audio bus may accept injected
external signals. This control knob adjusts the pre-fader level in the range
innity (∞) to +10 dB.
• a level control knob — AFL audio bus may accept injected external
signals. This control knob adjusts the after-fader level in the range innity
(∞) to +10 dB.
• talk back control knob — adjusts the talk back level, in the range innity
(∞) to +10 dB.
The following four sections in the Monitors screen allow you to patch the solo
system signals.
• talkback input
• p direct input
• a direct input left
• a direct input right
