Mixer Setup
Controls for various global and utility functions.
1. Cue Mode – Sets the function of the channel
Cue buttons.
• Cue (Default)– Touching a channel cue button
causes the channel's signal to be heard in the
Cue headphones. The audio signal is otherwise
unaffected.
• SIP (Solo In Place) – Input Cue buttons change
color (orange) and are labelled SIP. Touching
a channel's SIP button causes all other inputs
to mute. Cue continues to function normally
for outputs. SIP is a very useful setup function
but can produce unwanted results if left on
during performance.
2. Cue Pickoff – Determines if the Cue signal is
derived pre or post-fader.
• PFL (Pre-Fader Listen)
• AFL (After-Fader Listen)
3. Sample Rate – Selects the sample frequency (bit
rate) for the mixer. Most relevant for recording.
Typically, 44100 is used for audio CD, and 48000
for audio with video.
4. Dynamics Processing (global) – Determines
whether all input channel gates and compressors
are controlled by a pre or post EQ signal.
5. Demo Mode and Confi rm Mute
• Demo Mode (Mixer only) – The mixer is set at the factory to display a slide show of features until the screen is touched. This control
turns the demo on/off.
• Confi rm Mute on Master (tablets only) – By default, muting a master output (Main or Aux bus) requires a confi rmation. This switch
eliminates the confi rmation step.
6. Omit Levels on Paste Overview – Provides an option to omit all level settings when pasting to an overview screen.
7. Display Brightness – Controls the brightness of the LCD screen and illuminated buttons.
8. Save System Log to USB – Writes a fi le to USB that may be useful in software troubleshooting.
