Basic Operation

The solo mode can be activated by holding the [SOLO
MODE] switch on the meter bridge for more than two
seconds – the [SOLO MODE] switch will flash.
For reasons why you might not be able to switch to the
solo mode, see page 66.

If you engage the solo mode during cue monitoring, all [CUE]
switches will be disengaged.
No change in the output signal will occur when the solo
mode is first engaged (you won't suddenly have only one
channel blasting from your house speakers). Once the
solo mode has been engaged the [CUE] switches are
used to select the channel or channels to be soloed via
the master or matrix outs. The channel [ON] switches of
all other channels will flash and their output will be
muted.
Let's take a look at what happens if solo monitoring is
engaged when channel 1 is feeding stereo aux 1 (L & R),
group/aux 1, and the stereo and mono masters.
Additionally stereo aux 1 is routed to stereo matrix 1 and
group/aux 1 is routed to matrix 1.

Solo monitoring can be activated for one section at a time: input
channel, VCA, or master out. The [LAST CUE] switch can be
used to switch between the LAST CUE and MIX CUE modes.
Also, the cue stack function will operate as described on page 43.
When the solo mode is active and the channel 1 [CUE]
switch is engaged, only the channel 1 signal will appear
at all master and matrix outputs to which it is routed (the
stereo aux 1 and group/aux 1 master [TO MATRIX]
switches must be engaged).
