Mute Button
Use the Mute function to silence a channel or Group in a mix without having to edit its volume. Mute is a
simple way to eliminate elements from a mix; the state of the channel mute for each mix channel (including
the Dual Profile Channel) is saved when a Mix Preset is stored. Any number of channels may be muted. The
One-Touch Ambience channel remains available so that its mic may be used for communication during
rehearsals, etc.
To mute a channel, press the m
ute
button. The yellow LED in the Mute button itself lights yellow as does
the yellow Mute LED below the mix channel button. While muted, the channel may still be edited. Pressing
any other unmuted channel button will cause the Mute button’s LED to go out.
To unmute a channel, start by selecting the channel. The yellow LED in the Mute button should be lit. Press
the m
ute
button; the yellow LED in the Mute button and the associated channel’s Mute LED go out. See
page 11 for additional Mute LED information.
Group Button
A Group allows any combination of mono or stereo channel buttons to be joined together for simplified
volume control. For example, grouping five vocal channels allows the levels of all five channels to be raised
or lowered together while maintaining their relative volume offsets and stereo placement.
Four user-defined Groups are available within each Mix Preset stored in the A360 Personal Mixer. By default,
no Groups exist. A Group may contain any combination of the 16 mono or stereo channel buttons, but
note that a channel button cannot be a member of more than one Group. The Dual Profile Channel cannot
be included in a Group, and a Group cannot be configured while the Dual Profile Channel is selected.
Configure a Group
To create and configure a Group:
Select any mix channel except the Dual Profile Channel. 1.
Press the 2. G
rouP
button to enter the Group editing mode. The button’s green LED blinks.
Select the first mix channel (1-16) that you want to be in the Group. Its channel button LED 3.
will light solid.
Make any adjustments to the channel’s
4. Reverb, Tone, Channel Volume, and Stereo
Placement setting.
Add mix channels to the Group by double-clicking their channel buttons. The LED in each
5.
channel button added to the Group will stay lit, indicating that it is selected; adjust its
channel-level controls as needed. Other mix channels already in the Group blink.
Double-clicking the selected channel within a Group (while its LED is lit solid) removes it
6.
from the current Group and selects it as the first channel in a new Group. The old Group is
preserved and can be selected for editing by pressing any mix channel button that is still
a member of the previously defined Group.
To remove a mix channel that is not the currently selected channel (its LED is blinking, not
7.
lit solid) from a Group, simply double-click the channel button.
After the last Group member has been added and adjusted, press the
8. G
rouP
button again
to exit the Group edit mode. Groups are ready to use in your mix.
