======Central module======

The central module 52-5614 is the main control module of an SX2 mixing console. The central module also includes a 10" TFT display that is separated into various functional areas. The 52-5614 central module also contains 4 fader. For more information on faders area, see [[sx2:fader_modules|Fader Modules]].

In the following, you can find features and pre-configured push button functions of the 52-5614 central module.

{{:sx2:sx2-central-section.png?900}}


===== (1) Home-Button =====
 Is used to wake up the console surface and to return to the default views.

===== (2) Pre-listening and talkback speaker with built-in amplifier =====
No additional audio cable is required for this central module. The audio signals will be transported together with control signals and electrical power through one CAT5 cable, which is connected to an APC port on the XC2 / XS2 Core.

===== (3) Monitor selector, expanded by touch-display selector =====

See [[sx2:console#monitoring_keys_-_extern_selector_program_1|SX2 Configuration - Console / Monitoring Keys]]. ''Sel'' key source can be changed using ''Monitor Selector'' {{:sx2:mon-sel.png?35|}} page.
===== (4) Professional high-grade volume potentiometers. =====

Used to set Headphone, Monitor, and CUE Speaker level.
===== (5) GP  - General Purpose keys =====
You can use these keys to switch GPOs and get status signalization from a GPI, or any other available logic source. See [[sx2:console|SX2 Configuration - Console]].

===== (6) Talkback microphone with built-in preamp =====
No additional audio cable is required for this central module. The audio signals will be transported together with control signals and electrical power through one CAT5 cable, which is connected to an APC port on the XC2 / XS2 Core.

===== (7) Talkback keys =====
It is possible to configure these keys for a simple talkback, for example to a sound booth or an additional SX2 mixing console. See [[sx2:console|SX2 Configuration - Console]].

===== (8) Operation section =====
Use the ''Login'' key to login. The ''Load Default'' key loads the default snapshot. Hold down key for 3 seconds.\\ The two encoders can be used to control additional audio levels. The function of the right encoder is variable and can be changed using the monitoring page (set level section) on the central module (see below).

===== (9) Layer B key =====
This key toggles all faders to Layer B if available. 

<WRAP center round info 60%>
**Note**\\  Key is only visible if configured in [[sx2:system_settings|SX2 Configuration - System settings]]. Also, you have to assign channels to Layer B. See [[sx2:channel_assignment|SX2 Configuration - Channel Assignment]]

===== (10) Logo area =====
You can replace this image with your own logo. (see [[sx2:system_settings|SX2 Configuration - System settings]]).

===== (11) Page selector =====
You can choose, which page the overbridge multifunction area shows. When ''Access'' is pressed, this page selector changes. Available Pages are: 

==== Default Pages ====
=== Monitor Selector ===
{{:sx2:mon-sel.png|}}

Choose monitor sources. To change the monitor source:
  * Select the desired monitor bus on the left (Mon 1 - 4)
  * Select the source you want to monitor in the ''Sources'' list in the center

Choose, which monitor level is controlled by encoder 2 in area 8 via the ''Set Level'' section. To change the encoder function, tap the desired bus. Available buses are:
  * Mon 2 Spk
  * Mon 2 HP (default selection)
  * Mon 3
  * Mon 4

<WRAP center round info 80%>
**Note**\\  Assignment is reset to default when the console is restarted or console entered access mode.
