19. C4 MP-100 - API Legacy Plus Review

1. Input Flip - Reverses the inputs on all channels for the small fader and large fader paths 2. Input Clear - Returns all Fader paths to the "default" input settings with no TAP or MIC switches engaged

Describe the function of these two global switches.

A. 24 directs the output of the small fader to the MTB. B. DIR directs the output of the small fader directly to the MTR.

Describe what the following two buttons do. 24 and DIR?

4-band EQ

How would you describe a 550L module? (Be specific)

10-band Graphic EQ

How would you describe a 560L module? (Be specific)

1. Patch out of SM or LRG insert send 2. Patch into lower 200 input 3. Patch out of the lower 200 output 4. Patch back into insert return 5. Press the INS button in the small or large fader section to accept the insert on the small or large fader.

How would you patch a 225L module across channel 20?

The multitrack bus assignments in the BAM can output signal to which two MTRs?

EQ Modules

The slot underneath the BAM contains what type of modules?

Program

The stereo VU meters located at the top of the master section are known as the ___________ meters.

1. ST-A 2. ST-B 3. ST-C

The stereo bus assignments in the BAM output signal to which stereo mix busses or faders?

1. Upper 2. Lower

The two modular slots underneath the channel VU meters are known as the ___________ and ___________ 200 slot.

Monitored / Listened to / Solo'd

These meters "Follow" the level of whatever is currently being ___________.

1. Quickly replaceable parts 2. New or upgraded pieces that can be swapped out 3. Lots of patch points

What are some of the benefits to a modular layout?

1. Input Flip 2. Input Clear

What are the two global switches on the API Legacy Plus?

1. MIC 2. TAPE

What are the two normalled inputs on the API Legacy Plus? 1. ___________ defaults to the small channel path 2. ___________ defaults to the large channel path

The INS button for the small or large fader

What button accepts signal coming from either the large / small insert return?

DIR

What button assigns the output of the small channel to patch row S?

MAIN SPKR

What button must be pressed to monitor the "active" speakers?

1. CUT L 2. CUT R 3. CUT TO BOTH

What buttons can be used to cut the feed to the control room speakers?

GM

What is the final stereo output bus / fader called on the API Legacy Plus?

1. Compressors/Limiter 2. Sweep Filters 3. Gates/Expanders

What specific modules are typically placed in the Lower 200 slot?

1. Mic Pre's 2. DI's

What specific modules are typically placed in the Upper 200 slot?

1. ST-A 2. ST-B 3. ST-C 4. AUX 11-12 5. GM AUX

What stereo sources can be assigned to the Grand Master fader? (there are 5 selections)

C/R PLAY

Which button selects external stereo sources for monitoring?

C/R PGM

Which button selects internal stereo sources for monitoring?

Lower 200

Which modular slot typically needs to be patched into the signal flow?

1. VU DIR 2. BUS TO VU

Which of the above selections can be used to meter outputs?

1. VU SM 2. VU LRG

Which of the above selections can be used to meter the path inputs?

Grand Master Fader

Which stereo bus output / fader normals to the MDR / Masterlink?

In case you have different stereo sources on different groups. Easy way to group signals. Ex. Say drums were on STA and Guitars are on STB, you could combine the 2 to the GM and then send that down to the MDR

Why would you assign multiple stereo sources to the Grand Master fader?
