when฀dim฀is฀active.฀The฀LED฀associated฀
with฀the฀dim฀button฀will฀light฀whenever฀dim฀
is฀active.
Other฀functions฀can฀also฀cause฀the฀dim฀
function฀to฀enable.฀Depending฀on฀how฀the฀
Model฀75฀is฀configured,฀it฀may฀also฀enable฀
whenever฀the฀talkback฀function฀is฀active.฀
The฀remote฀dim฀function฀allows฀a฀hard-
wired฀control฀signal฀to฀enable฀dim.฀If฀dim฀฀
is฀enabled฀via฀remote฀dim,฀the฀dim฀LED฀
will฀flash.
If฀the฀auto฀dim฀off฀function฀is฀enabled,฀
whenever฀dim฀is฀on฀and฀the฀rotary฀level฀
control฀is฀changed,฀dim฀will฀automatically฀
return฀to฀the฀off฀state.฀However,฀auto฀dim฀
off฀will฀not฀occur฀if฀the฀rotary฀control฀is฀
changed฀while฀either฀the฀talkback฀or฀re-
mote฀dim฀functions฀are฀active.฀This฀en-
sures฀that฀the฀talkback฀function฀and฀the฀
external฀equipment฀controlling฀the฀remote฀
dim฀input฀will฀function฀appropriately.
Rotary฀Level฀Control
The฀rotary฀level฀control฀is฀used฀to฀manually฀
adjust฀the฀monitor฀output฀level.฀It฀is฀active฀
any฀time฀the฀reference฀level฀function฀is฀not฀
active.฀When฀the฀rotary฀level฀control฀is฀set฀
to฀give฀the฀same฀output฀level฀as฀the฀preset฀
reference฀level,฀the฀reference฀level฀LED฀will฀
flash.
By฀default,฀when฀the฀rotary฀level฀control฀is฀
set฀to฀its฀fully฀counterclockwise฀position,฀
the฀monitor฀output฀channels฀automatically฀
mute.฀This฀feature฀is฀provided฀for฀those฀
users฀accustomed฀to฀having฀a฀completely฀
quiet฀output฀when฀the฀level฀control฀is฀set฀฀
to฀its฀minimum฀position.
A฀Model฀75฀configuration฀parameter฀al-
lows฀the฀level฀control’s฀automatic฀mute฀all฀
function฀to฀be฀disabled.฀When฀disabled,฀
the฀rotary฀level฀control฀simply฀adjusts฀the฀
monitor฀output฀level฀over฀its฀approximately฀
72฀dB฀of฀range.฀When฀the฀control฀is฀in฀its฀
fully฀counterclockwise฀position,฀low฀level฀
audio฀signals฀can฀be฀present฀on฀the฀monitor฀
outputs.฀This฀level฀control฀operating฀mode฀
may฀be฀preferable฀for฀those฀users฀who฀do฀
not฀like฀the฀abrupt฀level฀change฀that฀occurs฀
when฀the฀automatic฀mute฀all฀function฀acti-
vates.฀When฀the฀automatic฀mute฀all฀function฀
is฀disabled,฀the฀mute฀all฀button฀can฀be฀used฀
to฀achieve฀a฀full฀monitor฀output฀mute.
Mute/Solo
The฀mute/solo฀mode฀button฀and฀the฀six฀
monitor฀output฀channel฀buttons,฀along฀with฀
associated฀LEDs,฀work฀together฀to฀provide฀
excellent฀operating฀flexibility.฀The฀mute/solo฀
mode฀switch฀allows฀the฀operator฀to฀select฀
between฀mute฀and฀solo฀functions.฀Going฀
from฀mute฀mode฀to฀solo฀mode,฀or฀vice-฀
versa,฀clears฀all฀active฀mutes฀or฀solos.฀
Pressing฀the฀mode฀switch฀twice฀is฀a฀legiti-
mate฀means฀of฀quickly฀clearing฀muted฀or฀
soloed฀channels.
In฀the฀mute฀mode,฀multiple฀channels฀can฀฀
be฀muted฀simultaneously.฀A฀channel฀that฀฀
is฀muted฀has฀its฀associated฀LED฀turned฀on.฀
The฀solo฀mode฀can฀operate฀in฀one฀of฀two฀
ways:฀additive฀or฀exclusive.฀How฀solo฀op-
erates฀follows฀the฀configuration฀set฀in฀the฀
Model฀75฀Control฀Console.฀In฀additive฀solo฀
mode,฀multiple฀channels฀can฀be฀soloed฀฀
simultaneously.฀A฀channel฀that฀is฀soloed฀
has฀its฀associated฀LED฀flash฀on฀and฀off,฀
while฀the฀LEDs฀on฀the฀non-soloed฀channels฀
are฀not฀lit.
As฀expected,฀in฀the฀exclusive฀solo฀mode฀
pressing฀a฀channel฀button฀will฀cause฀that฀
channel฀to฀be฀soloed.฀But,฀in฀addition,฀any฀
other฀channel฀or฀channels฀being฀soloed฀฀
will฀go฀back฀to฀their฀normal,฀non-solo฀฀
condition.฀Thus฀the฀exclusive฀solo฀mode฀
allows฀rapid฀“soloing”฀of฀individual฀channels.฀
Should฀more฀than฀one฀channel฀need฀to฀be฀
