SP / TC / GT P AGE 8 C ENTURY S ERIES SP Input Module The SP input module is the most straightforward of the Century Series. While it shares many features with more complex input modules, the SP input module is simple in design and operation.
SP / TC / GT P AGE 9 C ENTURY S ERIES MONO Bus Assign Switch Assigns the post-fader input signal directly to the Mono Clean bus. Bus Assign Switches (L/R, 1-8) Assigns the post Pan Signals to the mix bus in odd/even pairs.
SP / TC / GT P AGE 10 C ENTURY S ERIES TC Input Module The TC input module is the intermediate input module in the Century Series. It is essentially the same as the SP except for the sweepable mids on the EQ section and a polarity reverse switch.
SP / TC / GT P AGE 11 C ENTURY S ERIES P AN CONTROL Positions the channel image between the left (odd) and right (even) channel assignment. MUTE Switch with LED Mutes the channel and all send functions. This switch does not affect the PFL switch or the Peak and Signal Present LED indi- cators.
GT Input Module The GT input Module is the most feature-filled within the Century Series. Designed for demanding FOH applications, the GT Series retains the simplicity of the whole Crest Console line while offering all the features of a high-end unit.
SP / TC / GT P AGE 13 C ENTURY S ERIES Aux 8 Direct Switch Removes the Aux 8 signal from the Aux 8 bus and assigns to the direct out 1/4" connector on the rear panel. PRE/POST Switch Selects the Aux 5 through 8 signal sources between pre and post fader positions.
GT Stereo Input Module The GT Stereo Input Module is essentially two GT Input Modules fit into one module space. This module is very use- ful for accepting remote feeds, effects inputs and other sig- nals that require stereo handling.
AUX 5 - 8 Individual Level Controls Adjusts audio level of a mix for use as a monitor or an effect send. The signal source for these mixes may be selected pre or post fader by an associated switch. WID(TH) Control When used together with the BAL control, the WID control provides a unique way to configure stereo panning.

SP / TC / GT P AGE 17 C ENTURY S ERIES SP/TC Group Modules Since there are only minor differences between the SP and TC input modules, these two models share the same group module. An eight bus console will have eight of these modules where a four bus console will only have four.
SP / TC / GT P AGE 18 C ENTURY S ERIES GT Group Module The GT group module has many of the same features as the SP/TC group module. Primarily it is the Matrix Section and the Scene Mute controls that separate this group module from the SP/TC. An eight bus console will have eight of these modules where a four bus console will only have four.
SP / TC / GT P AGE 19 C ENTURY S ERIES Group Assignments Assigns the group signal to the Left, Right, and or Mono out- puts. Group XLR Turns on the balanced XLR output. Matrix Pre/Post Switches the Matrix sends between pre and post-fader settings. Fader Reverse w/LED Swaps functions between the Effect Level control and the group fader; i.
