Input Channel Section
Channel Fader Block
The channel faders determine the level of the channel signal sent to the console’s master buses, and are of primary
importance in setting up the balance between the various channels in the mix. The channel faders can also be assigned to
specific VCA and mute groups for group level and mute control.
™
Channel Fader
Adjusts the out signal level from the corresponding
channel. The channel faders also affect the signal level
sent to the stereo aux and group/aux buses when the
[PRE] switches associated with the corresponding sends
are off (i.e. they are sending the post-fader signal).
£
[RECALL SAFE] Switch
¢
[FADER SAFE] Switch
Either of these switches can be engaged to prevent the
corresponding data from changing the channel settings
when a scene memory is recalled. Use the [RECALL
SAFE] switch to maintain the master bus assign switch
settings, or [FADER SAFE] switch to maintain the level
of the channel fader.
∞
VCA Indicators 1~12
Indicate the VCA groups to which the corresponding
channel fader is assigned. If a VCA group master to
which the channel is assigned is muted via its [VCA
MUTE] switch, the corresponding VCA indicator will
flash rather than light continuously. More details are
provided in the “Channel Grouping” section on page 21.
§
MUTE Indicators 1~8
Indicate the mute groups to which the corresponding
channel is assigned. More details are provided in the
“Channel Grouping” section.
¶
[CUE] Switch
When this switch is engaged the pre-fader channel signal
is sent to the console’s CUE L&R buses regardless of the
channel’s on/off status. The cue signal can be monitored
via the rear-panel MONITOR OUT connectors or any of
the console’s PHONES jacks.

NOTE
The channel faders are motor-drive types that will physically
move to the memorized settings when a scene memory is recalled
– after the specified “fade time,” if one has been programmed.
Refer to “Scene Memory Functions” on page 51 for details.
NOTE
Using the VCA CUE function, the post-fader channel signal can
be monitored.
NOTE
The [CUE] switches are also used to assign channels to VCA and
mute groups (page 21), as well as to specify target channels when
setting fade time parameters (page 52). Normal [CUE] switch
function is suspended while any of these operations are in
progress.
