Model฀75฀Control฀Console
The฀Model฀75฀Control฀Console฀is฀a฀com-
pact,฀self-contained฀unit฀designed฀to฀be฀
located฀at฀the฀operator’s฀position.฀It฀allows฀
fingertip฀control฀of฀all฀monitoring฀and฀talk-
back฀parameters.฀Numerous฀LED฀indica-
tors฀provide฀complete฀status฀information.฀A฀
major฀strength฀of฀the฀Model฀75฀is฀its฀ability฀
to฀configure,฀under฀software฀control,฀many฀
of฀the฀operating฀parameters.฀All฀configura-
tion฀parameters฀are฀stored฀in฀non-volatile฀
memory.฀The฀Model฀75฀Control฀Console฀
connects฀to,฀and฀is฀powered฀by,฀the฀Model฀
74฀Central฀Controller.฀The฀Model฀75฀gen-
erates฀MIDI฀system-exclusive฀messages฀
to฀control฀the฀Model฀74.฀Remote-control฀
signals฀connected฀to฀the฀Model฀74฀Central฀
Controller฀are฀routed฀to฀the฀Model฀75฀via฀
pins฀in฀the฀9-pin฀interconnecting฀cable.
The฀Model฀75฀provides฀four฀buttons฀and฀
associated฀LEDs฀for฀selection฀of฀the฀sur-
round฀and฀stereo฀sources฀to฀be฀monitored.฀
While฀in฀most฀cases฀only฀one฀input฀source฀
will฀be฀monitored฀at฀a฀time,฀multiple฀inputs฀
can฀be฀selected฀for฀simultaneous฀monitor-
ing.฀This฀allows฀two,฀three,฀or฀all฀four฀of฀฀
the฀inputs฀to฀be฀combined฀(“summed”).฀
While฀there฀is฀no฀independent฀control฀of฀
the฀input฀levels,฀this฀feature฀can฀be฀useful฀
for฀creating฀rough฀mixes฀from฀the฀source฀
signals.฀It฀is฀also฀a฀fast,฀effective฀means฀of฀
making฀a฀“seat-of-the-pants”฀check฀on฀the฀
phase฀relationship฀between฀synchronized฀
signals.
The฀monitor฀output฀levels฀are฀controlled฀
using฀a฀large,฀easy-to-use฀rotary฀control.฀
The฀“curve”฀or฀“taper”฀of฀the฀level฀control฀
can฀be฀configured฀to฀match฀an฀operator’s฀
preference.฀The฀choices฀available฀are฀true฀
logarithmic฀and฀modified฀logarithmic.฀The฀
level฀control฀auto฀mute฀all฀function฀allows฀
the฀monitor฀output฀channels฀to฀mute฀auto-
matically฀whenever฀the฀rotary฀level฀control฀
is฀in฀its฀fully฀counterclockwise฀(minimum)฀
