aux send features
Ten aux sends are available for creating individual output mixes from the Stereo Inputs.
These mixes can be used for driving effects processors, providing monitor mixes, creating
broadcast or alternate sound reinforcement mixes, or other special requirements. When
in the default post fader configuration, the signal is an equal sum of the Left and Right ste-
reo signals. When set to PRE, the AUX source is taken from the output of the PREFADE
SOURCE control, allowing adjustment of the left-right blend. The Aux sends are always
affected by the Mute switch.
pre fade source - This control is similar to the left - right mono switches, but only
affects the pre fade aux sends. This control allows a continous blended adjustment that is
sent to the aux sends when they are in the “pre” position. This is useful if a split-accom-
paniment track is played with vocals on one track. The pre fade source controls
the mix of vocals added to the monitors to assist the performer(s).
PRE switch - When this switch is in the “OUT” position, the Aux sends are an equal
mix of the left and right signals taken Post-fader. When the switch is despressed (“IN”),
the Aux sends become Pre-fader, Post-EQ with the left right mix set by the Prefade
source control. NOTE: The HPW offers three seperate controls to offer the most flex-
ibility. Each PRE Switch controls the Aux Sends directly below the switch (Aux Sends 1-6,
7-8 and 9-10).
aux sends (1-10) - These knobs adjust the amount of signal sent to the corre-
sponding Aux buses. Unity gain occurs at the zero setting, with 6dB additional gain avail-
able above that.
bal - This control determines the signal’s left-right balance with respect to the assigned
L/R and Group buses. Rotating the control counterclockwise increases the amount of
the left signal sent to the L and odd-numbered groups; rotating clockwise increases the
amount sent to the R and even-numbered groups. For example, with the channel Bus
Assign switch set to Groups 1/2 and the balance control set to the “=” position, rotat-
ing the control counterclockwise increases the amount of signal sent to Group 1, while
rotating clockwise increases the amount sent to Group 2. The “=” position is balanced
and sends identical outputs signals.
