Mackie Onyx 1640i Quick Start Manual page 15

SOLO
Whenever solo is engaged, all control
room/headphone source selections (main mix, sub 1-2
/ sub 3-4, tape, and FireWire) are defeated, and you will
only hear the soloed channel(s) in the headphones and
control room. This gives you the opportunity to audition
the channels before they are added to the main mix or
sub 1-2 / sub 3-4 mix. The main mix continues to play,
so the show can still go on during solo. The solo mode
switch allows solo to be AFL (after-fader listen) or PFL
(pre-fader listen).
SOLO MODE PFL/AFL
When the solo mode switch is out (PFL), soloed
channels will be pre-fader, allowing you to set the
channel gain without regard to fader level. (PFL is also
post-EQ.) When a channel is soloed in PFL, you can
adjust the channel gain until your input source reaches
the 0 dB LED in the right meter.
When solo mode is in (AFL), soloed channels will be
post-fader, EQ, and pan, allowing you to hear fader, EQ,
and pan adjustments on soloed channels.
Solo signals reaching the headphones and
control room may be loud, therefore turn down
the phones level and control room level before
channels are soloed.
