The diagram illustrates how Fader Paging relates to a standard in-line console. Use the SELECT TO FADERS panel to select the fader bank required. Within that panel, there are - Sony OXFORD | Product Manual (oxf-r3_v3_op_man_rev4) - Page 35
, the functions on an in-line vertical channel strip become horizontal on the OXF-R3. In other words, the whole panel is equivalent to an exceptionally comprehensive channel -FORMAT ROUTING ROUTING DYNAMICS SENDS 1-24 FREE ASSIGN AREA DYNAMICS MULTITRACK EQUALISER & FILTERS EQ & FILTERS INPUT - Sony OXFORD | Product Manual (oxf-r3_v3_op_man_rev4) - Page 36
and can be assigned separately within the channel signal path. To view parameters and curves whenever EQ and Filters are in use, access the EQ page available on the channel screens. Various EQ options are available which are selected using the { IN } and buttons situated in the upper middle - Sony OXFORD | Product Manual (oxf-r3_v3_op_man_rev4) - Page 37
function area (lower left) contains: • GATE • EXPANDER • COMPRESSOR (there are a number of Compressor options) • LIMITER • SIDE-CHAIN EQUALISER (S-C EQ).

can be assigned, one bus at a time, to the faders or assignable knobs (PANs). This allows a mix to an effect or foldback to be set up using the faders or a row of knobs on a console-wide basis. The source points for each Send can be set individually on each channel or on - Sony OXFORD | Product Manual (oxf-r3_v3_op_man_rev4) - Page 40
positions give an extremely useful graphical representation. It is common with in-line analogue console channel strips to split the signal flow into channel and monitor paths with a fader for each. The OXF-R3 takes this concept a stage further, allowing all level and gain control to be accomplished - Sony OXFORD | Product Manual (oxf-r3_v3_op_man_rev4) - Page 41
