  • Page 38: About The Vca Functionality

    About the VCA functionality The VCA master section of the M3000A contains eight VCA master faders. These VCA master faders 1–8 can be used to control the overall input level of input channels assigned to the corresponding VCA groups 1–8.
  • Page 39 Using two or more VCA master faders to control a single channel As the opposite of the example on the previous page, it is also possible to assign a channel to two or more VCA groups. The following diagram shows an exam- ple of signal flow when channel 1 is assigned to VCA groups 1, 5, and 8.
  • Page 40 About the VCA functionality • If the VCA MUTE switch of a VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will light), the post-fader signal of all input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted. This is convenient when you wish to simultaneously mute or un-mute multiple channels without operating the faders.
