Input Channel Fader:
(see the previous pose for input channel details)
The PCB’s for this module as well as related backplane are on order and expected next week. This is also fairly self-explanatory. I see no changes with this one either since I am under way with it.
Not much to explain except the faders are the full throw P&G’s. The rectangular geometry to the right of the fader is a milling in the faceplate for a plastic scribble strip. It’s an easy, simple and cheap way of not putting console or masking tape all over the board. Or even worse, just marking right on the faceplates! Indications are not figured out yet. They will naturally be on the left on the faders. I will collect the data for those markings while testing the modules for best accuracy.
Insert is a switch to flip a relay to access the channel’s EQ slot. Allocations for this relay are on the backplane below the fader.
Mic/Line is a switch to flip the relay on the back of the channels 500/51x slot bucket that will house the optional preamps. It basically selects either the preamp modules out or maybe tape/soundcard return from PT’s as the source for the input channel.
This module will be an assembled unit that has gold fingers and plugs into a card edge connector on the backplane. The PCB’s and fader will all securely fasten to the faceplate and be one unit.
