Analogue OperationsREC and MIX Bus Routing1The Record and Mix busses are independent stereo busses which receive a post-pan,post-fader channel signal. To route channels to them, press the REC and/or MIX switch2to the right of the channel pan pot (that the route has been made.1). The REC and MIX LEDs light to indicate924AWS 948For in-line signals, the REC and MIX switches operate on the channel path assignedto the main fader. Press on the V-pot below the REC and MIX to switch the mainfader and routing switches between channel paths.The main REC and MIX LEDs indicate the routing for whichever path is normallyassigned to the main fader in the current mode, and the REC/MIX LED next to theCUE ST pan pot ( 2 ) indicates the other channel path. The REC/MIX LEDlights red to indicate Record bus routing, green to indicate Mix bus routing and amberto indicate both routes.1948Panning, Width and BalanceThe pan pot towards the bottom of the channel strip is used to adjust the stereo position of signals being sent to the Recordand Mix busses, as well as to the Track busses when they are functioning in stereo (as explained on Page 3-10).AWS 948For stereo signals the pan pot functions as a width controller with normal stereo image in the centre. When the pan potis turned to the right an out-of-phase left component is introduced to the right signal, and vice versa, resulting in a wideningof the signal’s width beyond the speakers. When the pan pot is turned left in-phase components are introduced to theopposing component in a similar way, resulting in a narrowing of the width with fully left being mono.Stereo signal balance is controlled using the V-pot just above the channel’s digital display – pressing the V-Sel resets thebalance to 0dB. Note that stereo mode is indicated by the STEREO LED to the left of the PAN/WIDTH label( 1 in the image above-right).For in-line signals, the main channel pan pot operates on the channel path normally assigned to the main fader in thecurrent mode. When the Channel Setup screen CUE F-CH (Cue Follows CHannel pan) button is active (See Page 3-4),or the sending path is feeding a stereo bus, the CUE ST pan pot becomes the pan control for the secondary channel path– as indicated by the CUE LED to the left of the CUE ST pan pot ( 2 in the image above-right) being unlit.AWS 924-948 Owner’s Manual Page 3-11
