Configuring Groups and Auxes
Decide the application of the console whether front-of-house or monitor or doing both
jobs. Decide the number of audio groups required. The rest can be configured as fader
controlled auxes.
Front-of-House. This is the application with all mode switches in their default up
position. This provides 8 audio groups with paired routing switches and LCRplus™ sub
grouping, 8 mono auxes switchable pre or post-fader on rotary masters for effects and
monitor sends, and a further 4 mono/stereo auxes on faders for more effects, monitors
and special feeds. The groups can be mixed to the 4 matrix outputs. If you do not need
fader control on all 8 groups then you can press the mode switches to configure fader
controlled aux sends with inserts.
Stage Monitor. Press mode switches to configure the C fader as the engineers wedge
monitor, and to configure the number of fader controlled monitor mixes you need up to a
maximum of 12. The rest can be used for effects sends. Up to 2 stereo mixes can be
configured, for example when in-ear monitor mixing. Each mix provides an insert for
patching in an equaliser or other signal processing, full metering, mono or stereo AFL,
and talkback enable. The groups are available on the rotary masters if required.
The diagram below shows how the fader master section together with its insert point
reverses with the rotary master section when the mode switch is pressed. The Aux and
Group output XLR connectors do not reverse. The matrix and sub grouping is always
fed from the group signal regardless of mode.
