Duality SE Operator's Manual - Solid State Logic

Console OperationsMaster FaderThe master fader can be selected to control the stereo Mix A, B, C busses or the 5.1 mix bus via themain bus select matrix (see previous page). The fader can control the level of all three stereo bussessimultaneously but can only set the level for one bus at a time. Level control is via 36-bit, highresolution MDACs.Alternatively, when CHan tO MF is selected (at the bottom of the Central Routing Panel), themaster fader is used to control the selected channel’s fader. (See Master Channel Fader and Mute inthe previous section of this chapter for more details).The fader is provided with two scales. The one on the left is the normal scale; the one on the rightis for use with the +10dB function selected via the main bus select matrix (see previous page).The automation status button and LEDs fitted on this fader are used with the optional automationsystem.Following the injection of talkback and tone (see later), the main output busses feed D-connectorson the centre section connector panel.All the main mix busses are provided with LCD metering above the centre section. In addition, thestereo Mix A bus can be metered on the centre section VU meters.track Bus Master ControlsThe output levels of the console’s 24 mono Track busses are set by a group of rotary controls in theupper right of the centre section (see left). They all have 10dB of gain when turned fully clockwise;an indent at the ‘12 o’clock’ position corresponds to 0dB gain. Following level control, the busoutputs can be injected with tone (oscillator traCK button) and talkback (talkback slatebutton) before being fed to a D-connector on the centre section connector panel.An aFl function (post tone and talkback inject) is provided for each bus. The AFL signal isintelligently assigned to left and right AFL busses. Selecting AFL on a single Track bus output will routesignal to both left and right AFL busses. Selecting AFL on odd and even numbered Track bus outputswill route the odd numbered output to the left AFL bus and the even numbered output to the rightAFL bus.A set of LCD bargraph meters in the centre section are dedicated to metering the bus outputs.2-22 Duality se V3 Operator’s Manual
