The
and the
front panel control layout is the same except for the labelling of
the
,
level controls and
select key. This is because the
includes a built-in
power amplifier, while the
provides balanced XLR outputs instead. The controls are
soft touch for user comfort, and the display and keys are backlit for viewing in dark conditions.
The A
NALOG
C
ONTROLS
match the connected analog inputs and outputs to the console
before and after the digital signal processing. The S
TANDBY
S
WITCH
turns off the outputs
and locks the controls when the console is replugged or left unattended. H
EADPHONES
may
be plugged in to check the individual input and output signals without affecting the mix. A
large D
ISPLAY
provides information about the console status and settings according to the
row of controls immediately below. These controls are known as the S
OFT
S
TRIP
as their
function is determined by which of the round S
ELECT
K
EYS
is active. In this way the same
set of controls is used for many of the console functions such as setting up the EQ, dynamics,
effects and programming the memories. The C
URSOR
K
EYS
are used for memory scrolling,
menu and editing functions and to confirm changes to the settings. The A
UTOMATION
C
ONTROLS
are used for memory recall during live performance, and to isolate selected
channels from the automation. The P
ERFORMANCE
C
ONTROLS
provide instant access to
channel levels, muting and monitoring during live mixing.
