AWS 924-948 - Solid State Logic

Analogue OperationsDirect OutputBy default, the channel direct output is sourced post-fader. To source it pre-fader, press the DIRECT PRE/EFX (948:CHOP PRE/EFX) switch, located above the CUE ST gain pot.Direct Outputs and EFXThe EFX system allows redundant auxiliary send controls to be used to control the channel’s send to the direct output. Toemploy EFX for any channel, select the auxiliary send control which is least likely to be needed in the channel (Stereo Cue,FX1 or FX2), and assign it to the EFX system:AWS 924Press the EFX button beside the gain pot. The EFX LEDwill light and the selected gain pot will now control allowyou to adjust the Channel output level.Press the EFXC Function key to switch the channel’s EFXsend from the Track bus to the Channel output. TheDIRECT PRE/EFX LED in the channel strip lightsgreen to indicate that the channel output has been assignedto the EFX.AWS 948Press and hold the ALT/EFX SEL switch below the FXcontrols and press the relevant gain pot twice. The EFXLED will light and the selected gain pot will now controlallow you to adjust the Channel output level.In the Channel Setup screen, select EFX CHOP toswitch the channel’s EFX send from the Track bus to theChannel output. The CHOP PRE/EFX LED in thechannel strip lights green to indicate that the channeloutput has been assigned to the EFX.Note also that only one auxiliary send control from each channel may feed the EFX system – if a second auxiliary sendis assigned to EFX within the same channel, it will replace the originally assigned auxiliary.Track Bus RoutingChannel signals can be routed to the track busses using the eight numbered switches immediatelyunderneath the channel meters. By default, signals are sent post-fader. To source the send pre-fader orpost pan-control, press the PRE or PAN switches beneath the track bus selection switches. When thesource is post-pan, the odd-numbered track busses receive the left component, and the even-numberedbusses receive the right component.Note that the Track busses are designed for external tracking and not for internal sub-grouping – theycannot be routed to the Mix and Rec busses.Track Busses and EFX:The EFX system allows redundant auxiliary send controls to be used to control the channel’s send to theTrack busses. To employ EFX for any channel, select the auxiliary send control which is least likely to beneeded in the channel (Stereo Cue, FX1 or FX2), and assign it to the EFX system:AWS 924Press the EFX button beside the gain pot. TheEFX LED will light. Check that the EFXCFunction key is not pressed, as this employs theEFX on the direct channel output, not the trackbusses.AWS 948Press and hold the ALT/EFX SEL switchbelow the FX controls and press the relevant gainpot twice. The EFX LED will light. Check thatEFX CHOP in the Channel Setup screen is notselected, as this employs the EFX on the directchannel output, not the track busses.924 and 948The selected gain pot will now allow you to adjust the level being sent to any active track busses.Note that only one auxiliary send control from each channel may feed the EFX system – if a second auxiliary send isassigned to EFX within the same channel, it will replace the originally assigned auxiliary.Page 3-10AWS 924-948 Owner’s Manual
