Trident 88 Input Channel
Monitor Section
The Monitor section of the channel module allows the user to feed the signal on the
Monitor Return TRS jack to the Left and Right buses with level, pan and EQ control.

MON TILT EQ Control
A single control level which simultaneously adjusts the
low and high frequency gain of the signal. In the full
counter clockwise position the low frequencies are
boosted whilst the high frequencies are cut, in the
centre position there is no effect on the signal and in
the full clockwise position the low frequencies are cut
and the high frequencies are boosted.
Note: There is no TILT EQ on/off switch and the TILT EQ
is always in circuit.
MON PAN (Monitor Pan) Control
This control blends the post monitor level signal between
the Left and Right buses. When at the centre, detented
position, both Left and Right buses are fed equal
amounts of signal (each down by 3dB).
MONITOR LEVEL Control
Adjusts the monitor signal level to the
Left/Right bus
EQ to MON
Assigns the 4 band channel EQ to the
Monitor Section, the TILT EQ is then inserted
to the Channel path. Note: this switch is not
illuminated.
SOLO (AFL)
When pressed, routes the monitor (post level
and pan) signal to the Solo bus.
Additionally this switches the Main Monitor
Output (normally fed the Left/Right Mix) to
source the signal from the AFL/PFL Master
Level in the Master section as well as to
trigger LED indicators in the Master section
and Meter-Bridge stating a solo has been
pressed.
MONITOR MUTE
When pressed will Mute the monitor signal
to the Left/Right bus. It is recommended
when the monitor section is not being
used that it be muted
Channel Signal Indicators
+10 – Indicates RED when the channel signal level has
reached +14dBu (+10 VU)
-20 – Indicates GREEN when the channel signal level has
reached -16dBu (-20 VU)
The channel indicator signal source can be selected pre or
post the channel fader through an option available on the
input module circuit board.
(Note: Signal headroom available on the input module is
+22dBu and when the +10 indicator illuminates the signal
level is approaching 6 to 8 dB before clipping when just
flashing red with signal peaks).
These are extremely useful features and provide a constant
indication that a signal is present in the module (green LED)
and that the signal peak is being reached (red LED).
AFL/PFL Select
Selects the channel source feed that will be fed
to solo bus when the Channel SOLO is pressed.
UP - solo system is fed from the channel post
fader/post pan pot point and is a stereo
signal that follows the pan pot. This allows the
user to monitor the channel in the solo system
and to see its contribution to the mix.
Down - solo system is fed from the channel pre
fader point and is a mono source. This
allows the user to monitor the signal in the solo
system before the channel fader/mute, allowing
the user to check the signal in the channel
without being routed to any output buses.
Channel PAN Control
This control blends the channel post-fader/post mute signal
between any of the assigned bus pairs (L-R Mix, Group 1-2,
Group 3-4, Group 5-6 and Group 7-8) located at the top of the
module. When at the centre, detented position, both sides are
fed equal amounts of signal (each down by 3dB).
SOLO (Channel)
When pressed, routes the channel AFL or PFL
(see AFL/PFL Select above) signal to the Solo
bus. Additionally this switches the Main
Monitor Output (normally fed the Left/Right
Mix) to source the signal from the AFL/PFL
Master Level in the Master section as well as to
trigger LED indicators in the Master section
and Meter-Bridge stating a solo has been
pressed.
MUTE (Channel)
When pressed will mute the aassigned outputs of the
channel (Group1 – 8 and L-R Mix) and all post Aux sends.
The Mute does not affect the channel’s solo PFL feed, but
WILL affect the channel metering in the Meter Bridge, the
