These meters automatically switch to indicate eft, entre and ight AF solo levels when a solo is active. PF solo levels are indicated by the fourth meter. The brightness of the console lamps and ED status indicators can be independently controlled ensuring optimum visibility in bright daylight while allowing discreet illumination in darkened auditoria. The front panel Talkback microphone X is duplicated on the Master connector panel. The input is v phantom powered and is followed by a high quality variable gain preamplifier. A Signal generator is provided, with switchable sinewave and pink noise modes. omprehensive internal assignment of Talkback and Signal generator outputs is provided, along with the ability to send a balanced output to the rear mounted X. Aztec boasts three modes; PF, AF and Soloinplace. Default is mono PF, depressing the AF switch selects post fade stereo AF. The destructive Soloinplace overrides AF/PF but can only be engaged by holding down the illuminated SIP button for seconds or more. ADD enables any number of solos to be selected. master output module SG / SG / SG / SG / /P The system is sensitive to the duration of Solo depression.
