MUSIC MUTE (44)
This interesting feature lets you integrate the local security system into the sound system. A
minijack connection located on the rear panel operates in such way that when its terminals are
shorted, the talkover feature of the SCLAT100 automatically activates, immediately attenuating the
musical signal to the maximum and giving priority to the microphone channels with assigned talkover.
VISUAL AND AUDIO MONITORING
The visual and audio monitoring system deserves a special mention for its versatility and ease of use.
The visual monitoring system consists of two VU METERS:
VU METER 1 (1) permanently monitors the Main Mix unless one or more PFL buttons are
activated. In that case, the level of the PFL signal or the sum of all PFL signals will be displayed. Two
LEDs indicate whether the monitored signal in VU 1 belongs to the Main MIX (19) or to the PFL (20)
signal(s).
VU METER 2 (2) belongs to the output signals and is associated to the button group at its right
side. If neither the OUT2 (6) or AUX S (7) buttons is depressed, VU 2 displays the level on OUT1.
Pressing one of these buttons will display the selected output level. As above, a group of three LEDs
indicates which output signal is currently being monitored. If both push-buttons should be depressed,
OUT 2 will be monitored.
The system features a "peak hold" function which lets you see the maximum signal level.
Just below the VU Meters is a green LED which indicates that the power supply is delivering
the right voltages to the mixer.
Audio Monitoring
Three are the signals which may be monitored through the intuitive, high output power
headphones monitoring system: the programme signal (Main Mix), PFL or both simultaneously using
the SPLIT feature.
Main programme or Main Mix signal, MIX. Sent to the headphones (33) if neither the SPLIT
switch or any PFL button is activated.
PFL signal(s). Sent to the headphones when the SPLIT function is not activated but one or
more PFL buttons are depressed. In the latter case the sum of all PFL signals will be heard.
If the SPLIT push-button (37) is pressed, the left headphones channel will carry the Main Mix
currently on-air and the right channel will carry the PFL signal(s). The SPLIT function has a higher
priority over the first two modes. This feature lets you easily synchronize incoming tracks to the beat
of the Main Mix.
PHONES (33) Output
In order to obtain the maximum performance, headphones should have a high impedance
(200 to 600). Headphones are connected to the PHONES socket, a normalized 1/4'' stereo jack
socket. The sleeve is ground, the ring is the right channel and the tip the left one.
