Duality SE Operator's Manual - Solid State Logic

Console OperationsMonitor InsertThe External A selector output (ie. all 5.1 sources) is automatically routed via a 5.1 insert point to which an encoder/decodersystem may be interfaced; this insert may be switched in/out of circuit using the Monitor Options INS function (see nextpage). The insert send and return appear on two 25-way D-type connectors on the centre section connector panel. Theinsert point also has connections for the two channel output from the encoder, and the two channel input to the decoder.These allow monitoring of the encoder output (‘LtRt’) signals and provide automatic routing of the External B selectoroutputs to the decoder inputs to enable encoded recordings to be played back through the decoder. The logic for this isas follows:• With no sources selected on External B, the encoder outputs are linked to the decoder inputs.• Selecting any source on External B will route the External B outputs to the decoder inputs.• Selecting ext a and Ins will monitor the insert return; if no source is selected on External B you will hear theExternal A signals through the encoder and decoder. If a source is selected then you will hear the decoded outputof External B.• Selecting ext B and Ins and selecting a source on External B will monitor External B.• Selecting ext B and Ins with no source selected on External B will monitor the LtRt encoder outputs. The ltrsoft button lights to show this. Note that ltr is selected by turning off all other External B sources.Monitor MeteringA dedicated set of six LCD bargraphs above the centre section provide a constant indication of ‘FOLLOW MONITOR’ levels(ie. what you are currently listening to), plus a stereo meter for the SOLO/AFL bus and mono PFL levels. See later for moreon meter options. The ‘FOLLOW MONITOR’ meter feeds are available via a 25-way D-type connector on the centresection connector panel, for use with external metering.Duality se V3 Operator’s Manual2-25
