Master - Dynacord CMS 1000 Mode D'emploi

MASTER

42. PFL
Through this button you can route the pre AUX3/4 fader signal to the headphones
bus. The signal is outputted for listening via the headphones output. The setting
of the AUX3/4 fader is not relevant for the signal's volume (PRE FADER LISTEN).
The meter instrument in the master section is simultaneously switched, so that the
left LED-chain indicates the level (in dBu) of the actually chosen AUX channel.
43. AUX3/4 VOLUME
This fader controls the summed audio signal at the AUX3/4 SEND output. When
used for monitoring, this fader lets you control the volume of the monitor system.
44. 7-BAND EQUALIZER
The two 7-band equalizers can either be used for the MASTER outputs or for
AUX3/4. Please also refer to paragraph 50 "EQ Routing".
The EQ ON button activates the equalizer. The EQ's insert point is post master
fader and pre main output. The EQ is bypassed when the EQ ON switch is not
locked in its "ON" position. Seven frequency bands offering 10 dB amplification/
attenuation and a quality of Q=2 allow shaping the overall sound to optimally
match it to the acoustic conditions of different locations.

Frequency ranges as well as characteristics of the EQ faders are very praxis-
oriented. In case you want to have a clear and highly intelligible sound, which, as
a side effect, provides the cymbals with more crisp, you should raise the levels
of the 12kHz or 6kHz band a bit. If the MIDs are nasal you should attenuate the
mid range by some decibels. To provide the kick drum with more punch you have
to boost the low frequency range, using the 63Hz or the 125Hz controls. In case
the overall sound is undefined with too much bass, lowering the levels of these
two frequency bands will solve the problem. However, especially with equalization
you should be aware of the fact that in most cases "less is more". Thus, your first
choice should be to establish the mix using only the input channel controls and
see if you get a satisfactory result.
If so, you can use the equalizer for the AUX3/4, where in most cases, especially
when used for the monitoring, it is more needed.
45. POWER ANZEIGE
The POWER indicator lights when the CMS is operational. If the LED does not
light after switching the power on, please make sure that the mains cable is
correctly plugged in. If this is the case and the LED is still dimmed, please contact
your dealer.
