The solo signals are fed into the mixer’s monitoring system, where they are routed
to the rear panel Monitor Outputs (both as stereo and as a mono sum), and the
stereo headphone socket under the front armrest.
The front headphones output has its own volume control (PHONES) and mute
(M) button.
Signals solo’d in PFL mode will generally be at a higher level than those solo’d in
AFL mode, so separate trim adjustments are also provided for the AFL and PFL
systems. These are on-screen controls, and can be found in the Solo module of
the SYSTEM screen page.
SIP mode
The PFL and AFL modes described above are only monitoring modes, and do
not alter any other signal routings through the mixer. They are non-destructive,
and can be used safely during performance or recording without endangering any
other outputs from the mixer.
A further solo mode, SIP (Solo-in-Place) is available which is destructive. This
mode is also often referred to as ‘Check Solo’. SIP mode is enabled by pressing
the SIP button.
In SIP mode, soloing any input channel mutes every other input channel; thus
the soloed channel is the only one left feeding the master output (or Group, if
applicable). Thus it is ‘truly’ soloed, by virtue of all other signals being removed.
This mode is useful when setting up for performance or recording, but should
clearly be used with great caution otherwise!
Solo In Place mode may be selected On or Off by pressing and holding the SIP
button for at least 3 seconds, or clicking or its on-screen equivalent. When Solo
In Place is On, pressing a SOLO button anywhere on the mixer mutes all other
channels.
Mono PFL and stereo AFL meters are also provided on the SYSTEM page.
