MASTER OUTPUT SECTION
SOLO LEVEL
You can adjust the overall volume of the SOLO bus by using the SOLO
LEVEL control knob. The SOLO LEVEL is active when any SOLO button
is engaged.
3/4 to MIX Switch
When the 3/4 to MIX switch is engaged the green LED will illuminate let-
ting you know that the mix from the secondary, 3/4 stereo bus will be
summed, or mixed together, with the main LEFT and RIGHT mix. So with
the 3/4 to MIX engaged, you will hear any channels assigned to the 3/4
bus, along with the channels assigned to the LEFT and RIGHT stereo
mix. This will allow you to use the 3/4 bus as a sub-group for mixing. To
create a sub-group of vocals assign all the vocal channels to the 3/4 bus
by pressing the 3/4 switches on those channels. Now with the 3/4 to MIX
switch pressed in, you can use the 3/4 OUTPUT faders to sub-mix.
C/ROOM + PHONES
The C/ROOM + PHONES control is used to set the level sent to the con-
trol room outputs, and also to the headphone jack.
MIX/2T
The MIX/2T switch selects the signal source that you are monitoring in the CONTROL ROOM and HEADPHONE
outputs. When the switch is in the up position, the signal source is from the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX bus. When the
MIX/2T switch is in the down position, the signal source is from the 2 TRACK input.
3/4 FADERS
The 3/4 Bus faders are the over-all volume control for the 3/4 MIX bus. If the 3/4 TO MIX switch is not engaged,
the 3/4 MIX faders will affect the signal that is being sent out the 3/4 OUTPUT jacks. If the 3/4 TO MIX switch is
engaged, the 3/4 MIX faders will affect the signal that is being sent out the CONTROL ROOM outputs, and signal
that is being sent out the MIX OUTPUT jacks.
MIX MUTE
When the switch pressed, the red LED will light indicating the Main Left and Right outputs are fully attenuated.
L MIX R FADERS
The L&R MIX faders are the over-all volume control for the MIX bus. The L&R MIX faders affects both the signal
which is output to the CONTROL ROOM speakers and the line level signal which is output from the MIX OUT-
PUT jacks.

The Power LED lights up to indicate that the main POWER switch, (located on the rear panel), is on and the
mixer is powered-up.
+48V - Phantom Power LED
The +48V LED illuminates indicating that the 48 volt phantom power is applied to the microphone pre-amps
enabling use with condenser microphones. The +48V LED will light up when the Phantom Power switch (located

SOLO LED
The SOLO LED lights up to indicate that the SOLO bus is now being heard in the
Headphones and Control Room outputs.
PFL LED
The PFL LED lights up to indicate that the SOLO is in PFL mode.
Output Level Meter
The OUTPUT LEVEL METER allows you to monitor the level of the signal which is being
sent to the L&R MIX OUTPUT jacks.
NOTE: To avoid distortion, adjust the L/R MIX faders LEVEL control so that the 0 indicator
LED lights occasionally.
