Aux 3 and 4 are always POST-FADE, ideal for Effects where it is useful for the Aux Send
to fade up and down with the fader. For flexibility, the Master Section AUX2 PRE switch
allows you to switch AUX 2 from post- to pre-fade across the whole mixer as required.
Aux 5 & 6 are identical to Aux 3 & 4 and may be selected as an alternative by pressing
the 5-6 switch.
Leave all of the knobs turned fully left when not in use.
5 PAN
This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the pairs of Groups, allowing
you to move the source smoothly across the stereo image. When the control is turned
fully right or left you are able to place the signal at unity gain to either Groups 2 & 4
or 1 & 3 respectively.
6 ROUTING
This switch selects either Groups 1 & 2 (switch released) or Groups 3 & 4 (switch pressed)
as the destination for the channel signal after it has passed through the PAN control.
7 FADER
The linear FADER gives you smooth control of the overall signal level in the channel
strip, allowing precise balancing of the various source signals being mixed to the Master
Section. You get most control when the input GAIN is set up correctly, giving a normal
fader position around the 0 mark, generous control range below and some gain in
hand above the mark when you need that little bit extra. See the Initial Setting Up
section for help in setting a suitable signal level.
Note that the post-fader signal is available as a DIRECT OUTPUT from the channel to
feed tape tracks or other external equipment.
8 SOLO
The latching SOLO switch has two distinctive modes of operation, depending on the
position of the master section SOLO MODE switch. When this switch is released
(AFL/PFL) all channel SOLO switches function as PFL (Pre-Fade-Listen). When SOLO
MODE is pressed (IN PLACE) all SOLO switches become a SOLO-IN-PLACE facility.
In PFL/AFL mode, pressing the SOLO switch feeds the pre-fade channel signal to the
monitor output, headphones and Right Bargraph Meter, replacing the selected source.
You use this switch to listen to a channel signal without affecting the mixer outputs, to
check the signal quality or simply to check that it is there!
In SOLO mode, pressing one or more channel SOLO switches mutes all other channels
leaving the selected channels alone in the mix. The Stereo Returns or FX Returns are
not muted, and this allows the selected channels to be monitored in their true stereo
position, including any effects which may have been added.
The associated PEAK LED indicator normally warns when an excessively high signal
level is present in the channel. The signal is sampled just after the EQ section and the
LED will light approximately 4dB before clipping. This point is post-insert, and will
therefore take into account the effect of any equipment connected to the Insert jack.
When the SOLO switch is pressed the LED lights continuously to show which channels
are being monitored.
