4. CONTROL ELEMENTS
16 PEAK LED
Inside your LYNX-MIX USB mixer, the audio signal is monitored in several different
stages and then sent to the PEAK LED. When the LED is red illuminated, it warns
you that you are reaching signal saturation and possible distortion, then you should
reduce the input level for avoiding distortion.
17 MUTE Button & LED
Each channel is equipped with a MUTE button. Pressing this button is equal
to turning the fader down, which can mute the corresponding channel output
except for the channel INSERT send and SOLO (in PFL mode). And the MUTE
LED will illuminate.
18 ASSIGNMENT Controls
Each channel provides four push-buttons: SUB1-2, SUB3-4, MAIN L-R and SOLO.
Pressing the SOLO button, the corresponding SOLO LED will illuminate and
the SOLO signal will replace other signals send to the Headphone/Control
Room and Meters. Usually use the SOLO function in live work to preview
channels before they are let into the mix. It is useful to set an instrument's
input level and EQ, and you can also solo any channel that you want to. The
SOLO switch never affects any mix other than the Control Room. The other
three buttons can be considered as signal assignment switches. Pressing
the SUB1-2 will assign the channel signal to Subgroup1/2, you can depend on
the PAN switch to adjust the amount of channel signal sent to the SUB1
versus SUB2, when turns the PAN to completely left, then the signal can be
only controlled by Subgroup1 and viceversa. In the same way, pressing the
SUB3-4 or MAIN L/R will assign the channel signal to Subgroup3/4 or MAIN
MIX L/R, and will also be affected by PAN.
19 FADER
This fader will adjust the overall level of this channel and set the amount of signal
send to the main output.
20 Control Room Source
You can choose to monitor any combination of MAIN MIX, SUB1-2, SUB 3-4
and 2TK IN via these Matrix switches. Engaging these switches, the stereo
signals will be delivered to the Phones, Control Room and Meters display.
NOTE: When any SOLO switch was engaged, the SOLO signal will replace other
signals, and also be sent to the Control Room, Phones and Meters.
21 PHONES/CTRL ROOM Controls
Rotate these knobs to adjust the stereo level of CTRL ROOM and PHONES
outputs separately, which can be varied from - to MAX.
