soloed audio is heard in the loudspeakers in stereo. The program bus outputs are
unaffected when an AFL solo is engaged (non-destructive).
The overall solo level is controlled with the solo TRIM pot.
SIP (Solo-In-Place)
When SIP is the current solo mode and a SOLO switch is engaged on an input channel
or summing channel, all non-soloed channels are muted and the soloed channels are
heard in the loudspeakers via the program bus. Since all non-soloed channels are
muted when a SOLO is engaged, this mode is considered to be “destructive.” Neither
solo bus is used and the current control room monitor source is not replaced in SIP
mode.
PFL and AFL solo modes are not available when SIP is engaged.
NOTE: When solo-in-place (SIP) is the current solo mode, engaging an aux or cue
master AFL SOLO switch will activate the current PFL or AFL solo function.
The solo function is determined by the position of the AFL switch in the solo
master section. Engaging an aux or cue master AFL SOLO while in SIP mode
will not active the SIP solo mode.
10.2 Solo Master Controls
Solo-In-Place (SIP) is a stereo, destructive solo mode. SIP is active
