External buss

18. On the Neve 88R console the PAD switch affects

Monitor path input signals only

Mic input signals only

Line input signals only

Mic & line input signals only

19. The CH.OP Button on the Neve88R

Takes the post fader signal from the channel path and feeds it into the monitor path

Takes the signal from the tape return and feeds it into the monitor path

Takes the signal from the monitor path and feeds it into the channel path

Takes the signal and feeds it from the multitrack send to the monitor I/P

Puts the console into broadcast mode, providing two independent stereo mixes

20. What patch row at the patchbay allows you to access the multitrack outputs?

Multitrack returns

Multitrack sends

Insert sends

Line inputs

Group outputs

21. In order to select PFL solo mode for the console you must

Select the PFL button

Select the PFL button and also the IL button below it

Select a safe button (chan or Mon) in addition to the PFL button

Select PFL and have the fader down

First route PFL to the routing matrix

1-16 channel path only

1-16 monitor path only

13-24 channel path only

13-24 monitor path only

None

23. C/O in the input section (upper) on the Neve88R console changes:

The input section between mic & line depending on the master status

The signal flow of the I/O module from record mode back to mixdown mode and vice versa

Changes from SIP and AFL solo

The input channel and monitor path between mic/line and tape/buss

24. The DYN button near the small fader on the Neve 88R console
