mixing buses, and the inner rotary control on the right serves to PAN that signal between the L & R sides of that stereo pair. When the send is set for dual mono mode, the inner rotary control on the left sets the LEVEL applied to the AUX ST L bus (i.e., LEVEL-L), and the inner rotary control on the right sets the LEVEL applied to the AUX ST R bus (i.e., LEVEL-R). 19. AUX ST 2 These two pair of concentric controls and switches function just like AUX ST 1, but affect the #2 auxiliary stereo bus pair. Note: By setting AUX ST 1 and AUX ST 2 to dual mono mode, you have a total of 12 independent auxiliary mixing busses. 20. MT PRE (switch) and level meter The channel level meter consists of 6 LEDs that display signal levels from -20 dB u to +6 dBu, plus PEAK (3 dB below clipping). The meter normally indicates the level after the EQ and the channel fader. Engaging the METER PRE switch causes the meter to indicate level ahead of the fader. An LED in the switch is illuminated when the meter is displaying pre-fader level. 21. ON switch (Channel On) Pressing this switch turns the input channel ON, which means the channel output is potentially available to the 8 group mixing busses, the stereo bus, the 8 auxiliary mixing busses, and the two pair of stereo aux mixing busses. Engaging the switch does not necessarily mean the switch will be illuminated or that the channel will turn on; muting logic may be dictating that the channel remain off. When the channel is OFF, the feed to the VU meter is also off, although the signal may still be previewed with the CUE/SOLO switch [26]. 22. VCA GROUP (Assign 1 - 8) Engaging any of these 8 locking switches enables the corresponding VCA GROUP MASTER FADER(s) to also control the output level of this channel. When a VCA switch is engaged, the LED in the switch turns on. CAUTION: If you assign (or deassign) an input channel to a VCA group during a performance, the channel gain will jump up or down unless the corresponding VCA MASTER Fader is set precisely to the nominal position (green LED "NOMINAL" LED illuminated). Figure 2-1c. PM4000 Standard Input Module (lower portion of module) 23. MUTE (Assign 1 - 8) Engaging any of these 8 locking switches enables the corresponding Group MUTE MASTER switch(es) to "kill" (turn off') this channel. An exception exists when the channel MUTE SAFE switch [24] is engaged, in which case these MUTE switches can have no effect. When a MUTE switch is engaged, the LED in the switch turns on. 24. S (Mute safe) The LED in this locking switch is illuminated when the switch is engaged. When MUTE SAFE is on, it overrides any combination of MASTER MUTE and channel MUTE switch settings, and Page 2-5
