Master Aux Send Section
37. AUX 1 -8 MASTERS
The AUX MASTERS provide overall control over the
AUX SEND levels, just before they are delivered to the
AUX SEND outputs [72]. These knobs go from off (
∞)
to +15 dB when turned all the way up.
This is usually the knob you turn up when the lead
singer glares at you, points at his stage monitor, and
sticks his thumb up in the air. (It would follow that if
the singer stuck his thumb down, you’d turn the knob
down, but that never happens.)
38. MUTE
Press this switch
to mute the Aux
Send output. When
the MUTE switch is
pushed in on an Aux
Send, you can still
solo the Aux Send
(see AFL Solo Switch
next).
39. AFL Solo
Switch
The AFL switch
allows you to hear
the Aux Send signal
through your head-
phones or monitor
outputs. This comes
after the Aux Send
GAIN control, so you
can hear the relative
signal level on each
Aux Send.
When you engage
the AFL switch on two
consecutive odd/even
Aux Sends (i.e., 1 and
2, 3 and 4, etc.), the
soloed signal appears
in stereo in the head-
phones and monitor
outputs. This is useful
when you are using
a pair of Aux Sends
in stereo to feed an
in-ear monitoring
system.
Remember, PFL solo mode always overides AFL solo
mode. If you engage a PFL solo switch on a mono or
stereo channel, the AFL solo is disconnected from the
headphones and monitor outputs and replaced with the
PFL signal. The Rude Solo LEDS below the SOLO meters
indicate which solo mode is active.
Group Section
There are eight group masters (or submasters, if you
prefer) that feed the eight group sends [74].
40. PAN
Note: The Group PAN control works only when the
MAIN MIX switch is engaged (see next).
PAN adjusts the amount of signal sent to the left
versus the right outputs.
With the PAN knob hard left, the signal feeds the
MAIN LEFT output, and with the knob hard right, the
signal feeds the MAIN RIGHT output.
41. MAIN MIX Assign Switch
Push in this switch to send the Group signal to the left
and right MAIN OUTS. When the PAN control is centered,
the signal is sent equally to the left and right outputs.
The signal sent to the MAIN OUTS is after the Group
Insert, Fader, and MUTE switch.
42. MUTE Switch
Press this switch to mute the Group output. When the
MUTE switch is pushed in on a Group, you can still solo
the Group signal (see AFL Solo Switch [39] ahead).
43. GROUP Fader
This fader controls the Group’s signal level, from off to
unity gain at the “U” marking, on up to 10 dB of addi-
tional gain.
44. Signal Level LEDs
These LEDs indicate the Group’s signal level after
the Fader and MUTE switch. So if the MUTE switch is
pushed in or the Faders are down, the Signal Level LEDs
won’t light.
