Analogue OperationsCENTRE SECTIONIntroductionThe console’s centre section is used to control the console busses, dynamics, monitoring and overall configuration. It alsoprovides access to a number of DAW control elements which are covered in Section 4.Power Supply IndicatorsBeneath the VU meters, on the main control surface, you will find a row of four LEDs that display the current state of powerrails within the console. The ±15 Volt and the +4 Volt supplies are for analogue audio and logic circuitry respectively. The+12 Volt supply provides power for the faders and some relays.
