for Surround
relate to the actual sound pressure level
that the surround or stereo loudspeaker
system is presenting to users. (Typically,
the level value would actually be in dBC,
the C-weighted sound pressure level.)
When the reference level button is enabled,
or the rotary level control is set so that
the reference level has been reached, the
display will typically show something in the
range of 82 to 87 dB. Assuming that the
monitoring environment has been correctly
calibrated, this would indicate that an aver-
age listening level of 85 dB, for example,
had been achieved.
Channel Pop Solo Display
As has been previously discussed, the
channel pop solo mode offers a unique way
of sonically highlighting an individual chan-
nel. A channel selected for soloing in this
mode will have its level increased while the
other non-soloed channels will be reduced
in level. To highlight this condition the let-
ters POP will appear in the 4-digit display
whenever a channel is actively being soloed
in the channel pop solo mode. This ensures
that a user will understand that the post-
fader monitor outputs no longer represent
the true inter-channel level relationships.
Remote Control Inputs
As previously discussed in the Installa-
tion section of this user guide, two remote
control signals can be connected to the
Model 76DA and then configured for op-
eration. The functions are remote mute all
and remote dim. When an external signal
activates remote mute all the LED on the
Model 77 associated with the mute all but-
ton will flash. If mute all was already ac-
tive when the remote mute all function is
activated, the LED will change from being
steadily lit to flashing.
When an external signal activates remote
dim the LED on the Model 77 associated
with the dim button will flash. If dim was
already active when remote dim is acti-
vated, the LED will change from being
steadily lit to flashing.
Model 71 Control Console
The Model 71 Control Console provides
a limited number of pushbutton switches,
LEDs, and a rotary level control for status
display and control. The two buttons, along
with associated LEDs, provide access to
the dim and reference level functions. A
rotary level control allows adjustment of
the post-fader surround and stereo monitor
output levels. A status LED lights steadily
whenever normal Model 71 operation is
taking place.
Any changes made using the Model 71’s
rotary level control and buttons will be
reflected in the appropriate LEDs and dis-
plays on all the connected Model 77 and
Model 71 units. And, as expected, changes
made using a Model 77 will be reflected in
the Model 71’s LEDs.
Rotary Level Control
The rotary level control is used to manually
adjust the post-fader surround and stereo
monitor output levels. Its operating charac-
teristics are identical to those of the Model
77 Control Console, discussed earlier in
this section.
Dim
The dim function allows the post-fader sur-
round and stereo monitor output levels to
be reduced by a fixed amount. Its operat-
ing characteristics are identical to those of
the Model 77 Control Console, discussed
earlier in this section.
