before being input back into the mixer (mix write

This unit’s 6 channel inputs and 2 stereo return inputs
are connected to group bus 1~4 and stereo bus L/R.
(For group bus 1~4 use the ASSIGN keys to assign the
input sound to a group bus. The channel signals are
always connected to the stereo bus. In cases where you
do not want to mix the signals to the stereo bus, lower
the faders for the respective channels to “0”.)
When monitoring, you can select group bus 1-2, group
bus 3-4, stereo bus, or TRACK 1~4 OUTPUT (CUE
