solo in place switch
The solo in place switch, or SIP switch,
puts the control centre in SIP mode. In
this mode, pressing a SOLO button in an
input fast strip activates a mute of all other
channels by temporarily overriding the
primary source selection, assuming it is set
to the appropriate monitor (A or B); talk
back remains unaffected.
When SIP is switched on, all unsoloed inputs are muted, except the auto-mutes. With
SIP in operation, pressing a SOLO button in a VCA section (for a group) solos all group
members, while muting non-group members. When SIP is switched off, any solos are
kept active but the mutes are removed (except the ones with auto selected, which are
left alone).
As this is an important function that may have detrimental consequences, the button on
the control surface is protected with a plastic cover to prevent it being inadvertently
switched on/off.
You can protect a channel from this function by switching on its mute safe (see "Safes"
on page 263).

C/O switch
The C/O (a/b speaker) switch (control surface only) swaps
speakers A with speakers B. The button has an integral LED that
illuminates to show that the B set of speakers are on.
Monitor output (a and b) sections
The monitor output sections — output a and
output b — have common controls for the monitor A
and B sections. The monitor's output level is
controlled by a non-automated fader, a DIM switch
and left and right mutes (see Figure 18 "Monitor
strip" on page 126).
The buttons in each output section have an integral
LED for on/off indication, and have the following
functions:
• MONO/[MON] switch, sums left and right signals,
but with a ±3dB loss. With 0dB on monitor A left
and nothing on monitor A right, pressing MONO
gives -3dB on both monitor A left and monitor A right. However, with 0dB on both
monitor A left and monitor A right, pressing MONO gives +3dB on them both.
• ø/[PHS] phase reverse switch, reverses the phase of the right monitor signals.
