Solo Routing - EAW UMX.96 Owner's Manual

EAW UMX.96 Owner's Manual
The solo function normally acts in an additive manner on input channels, unless Exclusive Solo is enabled
via the Setup>General screen (See Section 12.10.2). Exclusive Solo cancels any existing solo assignment
when another channel is soloed. This is especially useful during soundcheck or when soloing output chan-
nels. Output soloing always acts in an exclusive manner regardless of the Exclusive Solo selection.
Solo-In-Place, enabled via the Setup>Operations screen is a destructive solo, meaning that it mutes any
input channels or returns that are not soloed, leaving the signal from the soloed channel to travel through
the console as it has been routed. The signal(s) are still applied to the solo buses, and thus are still available
via the headphones or engineer's monitor speaker, but remember Solo-In-Place affects the main outputs
of the console. You can protect channels from Solo-In-Place muting by enabling Channel Safe or Fader Safe
for those channels (see Section 8.2.1.1 and also Section 12.10.1). Solo-In-Place does not affect the soloing of
output channels; they route to the Solo bus as before.
Clear solo — Pressing this button clears any soloed channels across the entire mixer. It lights when any
channel is soloed, and flashes when any channel has key listen engaged.
Solo Level — This V-Pot controls the level of the solo bus in the headphones and the operator's monitor
speakers. The range is ±15 dB. This allows you to adjust the solo level relative to the main mix signal, which
appears at the monitor outputs when nothing is soloed.
PFL button — This button selects between the PFL and AFL solo buses. It lights when the PFL solo bus is
selected for monitoring. When unlit, channels are routed to AFL.
These controls are mirrored in the Utility>Monitor screen, which also contains a few other monitor-related
controls. See Section 12.9.2 for details.
6.2.1

Solo Routing

Signal is sent from soloed channels to the three solo buses according to the following table. This table shows
that for linked pairs, individual channels can be soloed when in PFL, but in AFL both are soloed at once. With
one side soloed in PFL, switching to AFL automatically solos the other side of the pair. With both sides soloed
in PFL, switching to AFL leaves both sides soloed.
