3.4.2 Stereo Aux Send 3/4
AUX 3/4 is a stereo auxiliary send that feeds aux buses 3 and 4 by default. These
sends can also be routed to the stereo cue bus to quickly create a fully featured
headphone feed when recording. When mixing, stereo AUX 3/4 or CUE can be used for
effects sends.
A common on/off switch is used to silently engage the stereo send. The post-fader
signal feeds AUX 3/4-CUE by default, but the pair can be switched to the pre-fader
signal. In common practice, post-fader sends are often used for effects sends and pre-
fader sends are typically used for headphone feeds.
3.4.3 Stereo Cue Sends
In addition to auxiliary buses 1-4, “The BOX” is equipped with a separate stereo cue
bus, cue master, and balanced output. When recording, the primary purpose of this
cue system is the creation of a headphone feed, so talkback and other sources can be
routed to the cue master. When mixing, stereo send 3/4 can be routed to the cue bus
instead of aux buses 3/4 to provide an alternate stereo effects send.
