Basic Operations of the NEVE VR console
Home work assignment
1. Normally, the Channel Path of a recording console is the signal path from the
_______Microphone___ to the ___Recorder input____.
2. Normally, the Monitor Path of a recording console is the signal path from the
_______Recorder output_____ to the __Mix Buss & Speakers__.
3. The Status Switches add flexibility to the NEVE and the SSL consoles by changing
the input / output configuration of the __Channel___ and __Monitor__ signal paths
of the console.
4. The <MIC> status is used for ___Tracking___.
5. In <MIC> status, the input of the Channel is the __Mic_ _Preamp__.
6. In <MIC> status, the output of the Channel signal is routed to: _Multi-track Assign Switches_
___________________________________________________________________.
7. When the red led located next to the Microphone Preamplifier is lit, this indicates that
__The Channel is receiving it’s input signal from the Mic Preamp__.
8. When the red led located next to the Microphone Preamplifier is off, this indicates that
___The Channel is receiving its input signal from the LINE INPUT __.
9. In <MIC> Status, the output of the Monitor path of the console is routed to Stereo/Quad Mix
Buss__.
10. In <MIC> Status, What is the function of the “Fader Swap” switch? (This status is
always the one in which this is used) _Swaps the Large & Small fader signal path._
11. The C/O switch located next to the Mic Preamp is used to __Select between Mic preamp ___
____and Line IN for input to the Channel path._.
12. What is the purpose of the “bnce” switch? What does it do to the signal path? Its purpose is to
mix a group of tracks to fewer tracks to free up other tracks for more recording. The b’nce
switch disconnects the multi-track return of that channel from the monitor/mix buss and
connects it to the multi-track assign switches.
13. When “Fader Swap” is used, the function of the Channel and Monitor signal paths of the
console: __Are Not Changed._.
14. In <MIX> Status, the Channel path output is routed to the __Stereo/Quad Mix Buss_ _.
15. In <MIX> Status, the output of the Monitor path is routed to the _Multi-track Assign Switches
(Group Outputs)__.
16. When switching from <MIC> to <MIX> Status, what is the effect on the input to the Monitor
path? __The input of the monitor path stays the same_.
17. In Normal Operations, the Large fader is the _Channel__ fader.
