6.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR
OPERATION
The AXION is
designed
to be the
perfect
answer for life sound
reinforcement.
In
order to
get
more
familiar
with the Axion, we
shall
discuss
the
entire
sound
prlccess.
LITE
This is the beginning of
a
session.
All input
channels are
placed
in
the mike mode by leaving the line switch in the
up
position
if
the
microphone input is to be
used
in
this
channel. Phantom
powedng
is
applied if
necessary. The
EQ
switch should
be
in
the
up
position
unless
you
requirc EQ on
that
mike. The signal flows
through the
fader
and
is available
posfader
to
be touted by way of the as-
signment switches
which
can feed either the
steteo output, the
mono output, and
or one ormore
of the
group
outputs.
The LED bargaph reads the
incorning
signal
post
line amp
or
post
EQ,
but
prefader!.
Microphone
/
Line Gain
The amount of
gain
required may
depend
on the type of mictopho-
ne being
use4
the sound
pressure
level,
and the
distance
between
the sound
source
and microphone. When the
line
switch is activa-
ted, the same
gain
control varies
the
gain
of the separate electro-
nics for the
balanced line input.
The
"phase"
switch affects both
the rnike and line inputs.
After
plugging
in a mike ot
line
"igtul,
turn
the
gain
control
cloclavise
until
a
"0"
ou@ut level
is
reached on
the related
channel
meter. Now slide
up
the channel fader to
"0".
If
the
signal
seulce
gets
loudet
ot
softet, it may
be
necessary
to rc-checkthis setting.
The volurne will also fluctuate if
you
boost
or cut the equaliser sec-
tion.
Multiple Modules Assigned to One or More
outputs
When
more
than
one
micrcphone
orline signal
has to be
processed
there are basically two ways of
doing
this. You choose an audio
subgroup or
you
use
the VCA subgrouping
facility.
Simply route
to
one
of the 8
zubgroups by
activating a channel
routing switch on as
rnany inputmodules as required. Decide on
which
group you
wish to sutn these signals and
activate
the related
numbers
. The
grcup
metering will show the subgroup
level which can
be
changed ovetall by the short travel
group
fader. In order to rnoni-
tor
theso
groups
on
the
group
modules, simply
push
the
pfl
switch
in the
grcup
modules.
An alternative way of routing is
by
way of the VCA
grouping
sys-
tem. Assign the channels which
you
want
to conffol as a
group
to
one of
the
eight VCA mastem, by
momentarely
hitting
the vca
