DIGITAL TRIM
Pressing the DIGITAL TRIM button assigns
the channel V-Pots to become digital trim
(digital input level) controls.
Functionally located immediately after the A/D
converter in the signal path for channels 1–48.
When using digital I/O cards, for channels
25–48, there is no A/D converter, so the digi-
tal trim is simply the first control in the signal
path after the card.
Digital Trim is a recallable function, unlike
the analog Trim control. It can be automated
or stored in a snapshot.
Digital Trim is the only input trim control for
channel inputs 25–48.
Talkback Mic
Located just above the LEVEL TO TAPE and
DIGITAL TRIM buttons.
The Talkback mic is activated two different
ways: 1) by pressing Talkback in the Control
Room section, 2) by pressing a foot pedal con-
nected to the Talkback jack in the rear of the
console.
Talkback audio is sent to the Phones/Cue
Mixes when pressing Talkback or depressing
the foot pedal, or to the Studio monitor system
when pressing Talkback to Studio.
Left/Right LED Ladders (Master Meters)
Located above the Talkback Mic.
Indicates the signal level of whatever is se-
lected in the Control Room section.
When Solo is selected, the Master Meters indi-
cate the level of the combined soloed channels.
When Mono is selected in the Control Room
section, both Left and Right meters indicate
the mono level.
