b) Depress the channel CUE button. Now that channel will have prominence through
your headphones.
c) Listen through the phones while adjusting the channel GAIN for maximum signal
level before CLIP activity on the channel, or for roughly a "0" average reading on
the meter. Also adjust the channel EQ as desired, then put the program on hold
awaiting insertion and take the channel off CUE.
d) When you are ready to insert the program, simply bring up the channel level.
e) When you are ready to insert the recorded material, simply punch the CUE
button into the up position, then take the recorded material off play hold/pause
and bring up the channel fader to the desired mix levels.
CHANNEL FADER
This adjusts the levels of both the post-channel-EQ signal headed directly for the
MAINS master and the EFX send signal headed for the effects processor. The
shaded area of the fader indications around "7"are roughly in the slide range where
movements produce the smallest, most precise amounts of level change. Above and
below that area, changes occur more quickly to provide fast "max" or "off" settings.
CHANNEL CLIP LED
The channel CLIP LED watches all the active electronic stages in the channel
circuit. Whenever any stage's signal peak approaches clipping to within 3dB, the
CLIP LED circuitry captures and displays this event. See under GAIN control for
more about this feature.
CHANNEL CROSSFADER
The CROSSFADER selects between CH1 & CH2 sending them to the MAIN master. This
much-used fader is removable for service and is interchangable with the HEADPHONE
CROSSFADER in an emergency.
CHANNEL CROSSFADER ON/OFF BUTTON
This pushbutton allows you to turn the CROSSFADER off while replacing the
CROSSFADER, or you may prefer to disable the CROSSFADER and use the
channel faders for mixing.
