Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the operability of fader knob and reduce the load on an operator by changing colors to comprehend the kind knob and positions of the fader, or providing liquid crystal indicators in the front of the fader knob. SOLUTION: Portions of fader knob 10a are marked with different colors, e.g. red, green, yellow, so that their positions can be easily comprehended from the outside at a glance when the colors are identified. As a means to change colors, colored seals are stuck on all or a part of the surfaces. This method can be easily implemented without applying a special improvement to an existing facility. When liquid crystal indicators 11 are provided on the surfaces of the knob 10a, the adjustment level can be easily known by merely seeing the tabs 10a without seeing other indicator portions, and operability can be improved.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mixing console used in a recording studio such as a broadcasting station.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A mixing console is used at a broadcasting station or the like when creating or recording a broadcasting program. This mixing console is used for amplification, volume adjustment, channel selection, equalizer, monitoring, cue / holdback, solo. / It has various functions such as audition mute, and along with that, the front of the mixing console is provided with a large number of knobs such as buttons and switches for various operations, and a fader knob.

[0003]

Although these operating switches, knobs, fader knobs, etc. are arranged to be easy to operate, the number of switches and knobs is large, and the fader knobs are among these. Since is used relatively often, there was a problem that it was necessary to devise more ingenuity in order to make desired recording properly and promptly.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a mixing console in which the operability of the fader knob is improved and the burden on the operator is reduced. .

[0005]

In a mixing console provided with knobs for various operations, the colors are made different so that the type and position of the fader knobs can be recognized to achieve the above object.

Further, a display made of liquid crystal is provided in the front part of the fader knob to achieve the above object.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a part of an operating section of a mixing console according to the present invention. In FIG. Is the input level, phase,
Control switches and knobs for power supply, 3 is a switch and knobs for high-pass filter control, 4 is a switch and knobs for adjusting operation start / return time, 5 is a switch and knobs for AUX transmission control, 6 is an equalizer Control switches and knobs, 7 is insert control switch, 8 is channel fader operation switch and knobs, 9
Is a group of switches and knobs for line input, pan, group selection and the like, and 10 is a fader knob 10a and its control switch group.

Since the plurality of fader knobs 10a are arranged side by side in the lateral direction, it is convenient to know at what position each fader knob 10a is set when viewed instantaneously.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the color of each fader knob 10a is made different, for example, red, green, yellow, etc., and the colors are discriminated, so that the position of the fader knob 10a can be easily seen from the outside by a glance. I understand.

As an example of the means for changing the color, if a colored sticker is attached to the entire surface or a part of the surface, it is possible to add a special improvement to the existing equipment.
It can be easily implemented.

As another means, it is possible to apply a coloring agent to the surface of the knob.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, if a liquid crystal display 11 is provided on the surface of the fader knob 10a, the adjustment level can be adjusted without looking at the other display section.
It can be easily known by just looking at, and the operability is improved.

As the liquid crystal display 11, a general one may be used, but it goes without saying that the liquid crystal display 11 should be devised so as to correspond to the shape of the fader knob 10a. The wiring process may be performed by forming a wiring hole inside the fader knob 10a and inserting a lead wire therethrough.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the colors are classified or the liquid crystal display is provided, it is possible to immediately know the type and position of the fader knob, and the operability is improved. In addition, there is an advantage that the burden on the operator is reduced.
