RL10 - Stereo Input Module

A full-function stereo module is available as an option. This module can be retrofitted to any input module position. As many stereo inputs as are desired may be fitted.

Routing - The 8 Group busses are selected using the four assignment switches, which address the busses in pairs.
The post-fader, post-balance control signal can also be routed to auxiliary busses 9 & 10 and 11 & 12 in pairs.

Inputs - The module has Left and Right line level inputs. Gain is controlled by the rotary control, which has a range of
+/-20dB.

Mono - Mono Left and Mono Right switches are fitted. If Mono Left only is pressed, the left input to the module is routed through both Left and Right channels equally. If both Left and Right Mono are pressed, a mono sum of both inputs at 6dB level is routed through both channels of the module.

Ø Phase - The Phase Reverse switch is used when it is desired to correct a phase reversal on one side of stereo source.

Equaliser - The four-band Equaliser operates simultaneously on both channels of the module.
Facilities are as follows:

HF: +/-18dB boost/cut with two switch-selected turnover points, 6kHz or 12kHz.

HMF: +/-14dB, sweep range 450Hz to 8kHz, Q switched between 0.7 and 2.

LF: +/-18dB boost/cut with two switch-selected turnover points, 40Hz or 80Hz, or by using the x3 multiplier, 120Hz and 240Hz. A separate EQ In/Out switch is provided.

High Pass Filter - A fixed frequency switch-operated High Pass filter is provided with a roll-off rate of 12dB per octave below 120Hz.

Auxiliary Sends - 8 Auxiliary Sends on rotary controls are fitted. These sends carry a sum of the Left and Right channel signals and are unaffected by the position of the channel balance control. Internal switches change the sends to true stereo with the odd Aux level being the Left send and the even being the Right.

Individual pre/post switches are provided for Auxiliary Sends 1-4,5 & 6 and 7 & 8.

On switches are provided for Auxiliary Sends 1,2,3 and 4 individually and for Sends 5 & 6 AND 7 & 8 in pairs. The On switches for Aux Sends 1 and 2 are sent as stereo from the routing switches at the top of the module. The signal is derived post the balance control. The Left channel signal is sent to the odd-number bus and Right channel signal is sent to the even-numbered bus.

Balance - The balance control adjusts the relative volume of the Left and Right signals send to the stereo bus and the groups.

SEL - The SEL switch is used to select the automation mode for the channel.

Meter - The meter reads the Pre-fader signal and has 4 LEDs. These are calibrated to indicate at -30, -15, 0 and Overload. The Overload threshold is set at +15dBu.
Mute - A large illuminated Mute is provided. This is automated.

PFL - When the PFL switch is pressed a stereo signal derived pre-fader is sent to the Monitor A output. An internal switch can be used to set the signal to be AFL (After-Fade Listen).
PFL links to the Momentary/Latch/Interlock Solo mode system, which is a feature of the Recall RN console.

Fader - The 100mm conductive plastic Fader has an associated VCA, (for the 8 VCA groups and snapshot facilities). VCA Groups can be set up from the console surface or the computer.

Virtual Dynamics - Virtual Dynamics also operates with the stereo input but the dynamics control signal is derived from a Left + Right 6dB sum of the stereo signal. This means that the dynamics control function depends on the amplitude of the mono-derived signal and is not set individually for each stereo channel.

Automation - Aux 1 & 2 On, the Mute switch and VCA fader are all automated.
