Focus Channel

The Focus Channel is a mirror image of D-

Control’s dedicated channelstrips which is
located centrally on the desk and facilitates
efficient control of any targeted channel.
The Focus channel can be re-targeted to
control at any session track independent of
the standard fader banks.

Channelstrip Master

The Channelstrip Master provides functions

for global view changes, assignments, and
operations which affect every channel on the
desk. The Channelstrip Master includes a
dedicated flip function for each row of
encoders which allows parameters to be
swapped between the local encoder and the
channel fader.

Dynamics Control

The Dynamics section provides an array of

dedicated touch-sensitive encoders for
threshold, attack, release, etc. These controls
function the same whether using a Digidesign
or 3rd party dynamics plug-in. Dedicated
metering for input, output and gain reduction
also compliment this panel.

EQ Control

The EQ section provides an array of dedicated

touch-sensitive encoders for control of up to 7
bands (5 bands plus filters). These controls
function the same whether using a Digidesign or
3rd party EQ plug-in. Dedicated input/output
metering, automation and multichannel functions
compliment this panel.

Monitor Control

The Monitor Control section provides access to

While in I/O View double tap (hold for momentary) an encoder to perform latching bus interrogation.
For example, tapping the drums input on the sDrums Aux will identify all channels feeding that bus by
flashing the appropriate channel selects (all the drum channels). Tapping the crush input on sCrush
will identify all of the drum channels that are feeding the crush bus. The channel’s Sends view button
will also flash to indicate that a send rather than a channel output is feeding the chosen bus.
The Bank/Nudge buttons will light to indicate the location of channels which may be off bank.

have calibrated your 192 interfaces to -20dBFS set your Signal
Generator output accordingly.)

Solo each of your speakers starting with the L channel first and
adjust the Main Control Room Output until your SPL meter matches
your target reference level (such as 85dB SPL) For best results, the
SPL meter should be set to Slow Response with a C-weighted
scale.

Press and hold the Cal switch until it begins to flash. Now turn the Main Control Room
Output until the display matches your target reference level (for example the display will
read 85 SPL ) Press the Cal switch again to store your current reference level.

Pressing the Cal switch now will toggle between the standard dB view and the

“SOLO”).
When a solo is engaged in AFL/PFL mode the XMON interface automatically
switches to monitor the input source from the declared Solo path to the
currently selected monitor output. See XMON Monitoring to identify the AFL/
PFL source inputs into the XMON.

To enable AFL mode simply press the AFL solo mode
