3.6 THE
EAI}ER VCA
SECTION
The Axion has
a high
quality
l00rnrn
ALPS fader, P&G faders
are
optionally available.
The lineair
fader
controls
a high
quahty
dbx
VCA which
in
turn
can
be controlled
by . group rnaster fader, if
the channel
is assigned to
such a
fader.
Assignment of the channel VCA
fader
is
as follows.
By hitting the
*VCA"
select
switch
once,
one of the
led
indicators
1-8 will light,
indicating which
VCA
rnaster
is
selected.
By hitting

select again the next
in
nurnber
VCA will
be selected.
ff
vca rnaster

will
be vca nr
1 and so on.
If
you
wish
to
de-select
a channel
frorn a
vca
rnaster, sirnply
push
the
select switch
for rnore than 1 second
and
the assign
switch
will
turn

indicating
that the
local

NOTE: the
VCA rnax led
indicates
whether there is
still
gain
left
in
the
vca.
If the VCA is
corrtrolled
by
r rnaster VCA,
it
is very
easy to
"overload"
the
VCA by
bringlng
up
the rnaster
VCA fader
above
0
dB,
lets say
to
+5d8.
If the
channel
VCA fader
is already
set
to
+5dB
the
rnaxirnurn gain
of 10dB
is
already given away,
and
no exffa
gain
could
be
expected
frorn the
VCA, even
when
the
channel fader
indicates a further
5
dB
of
frontpnel
gain.
