Console OperationsA small area of the monitor control panel (see right) provides source selection (control roommonitor and foldbacks) and a Cut function for the console’s stereo headphone output. Note thatthe F/B a and F/B B signals are taken from before the foldback master level and EQ controls.The level of the headphone output is set using the H/p button to the right of the Main monitorpot, in conjunction with the pot itself.stereo return ChannelsThe console’s four stereo return channels may be driven by the outputs of devices that have beenfed from the corresponding mono FX busses. Alternatively, the returns may be used for anyadditional stereo input required for the mix. Inputs to the returns are interfaced to the console viaa D-connector on the centre section connector panel.Four identical sets of controls are provided; the controls for Stereo Return 1 are shown on the right.Each return can be routed to the console’s Main mix busses, with full control of level and panning.Default routing is post the Cut l and Cut r input cut switches to Mix A, B or C via the masterleVel control.To route a Stereo Return to the required mix bus, enable the Central Routing Panel by pressingthe + and – buttons simultaneously, then press and hold down the aFl/sel button at the bottomof the Stereo Return. The Routing Panel display will change to read st 01, (02, 03) and the MIxa, MIx B and MIx C buttons above can be used to assign the selected Stereo Return to therequired bus(ses).The BalanCe pot provides a differential Left/Right gain trim for the stereo input signal. This isfollowed by a variable stereo wIDtH control, which can reduce the stereo image to a monocentre phantom point source. The MOnO button sums the inputs and simultaneously alters the action of the BalanCecontrol to that of a conventional two channel pan pot. This is very useful when you are using a mono FX device, as it saveshaving to parallel the return inputs.For 5.1 work, selecting the FB pan button causes the wIDtH control to act as a Front/Back pan pot. The FOCuscontrol progressively subtracts the front L R signals and re-routes the sum to the C (Centre) bus (Bus 3).Selecting the stereO button defeats the surround panning options and provides switched routing via the central routingpanel. Press and hold the aFl/sel button on the return to activate the panel, and use the panel’s routing buttons to selectMIX A, B or C (or combination thereof).Return signal may also be fed independently, post the Cut l and Cut r input cut switches, to Foldback outputs A andB by selecting the FB a and/or FB B buttons and adjusting the stuDIO control.Duality se V3 Operator’s Manual2-33
