Controls and Functions

Stereo Line Inputs

36. AUX 1 (Pre Fader Send) - Controls the amount of that channel's signal
that is sent to the AUX 1 Output. The signal feeding Aux 1 is sent
before, or pre, the channel Fader, so the channel Fader has no
effect on the Aux 1 level. The Aux 1 bus is usually used to create
a separate mix for a floor monitor system.
37. AUX 2 (Pre Fader Send) - Controls the amount of that channel's signal
that is sent to the AUX 2 Output. The signal feeding Aux 2 is sent
before, or pre, the channel Fader, so the channel Fader has no
effect on the Aux 2 level. The Aux 2 bus is usually used to create
a separate mix for a floor monitor system.
38. LEVEL Control Knob -The Level control adjusts the level of each
mono/stereo input channel.
39. PFL (Pre Fader Listen) switch - The channel's PFL, or Pre Fader
Listen switch allows you to listen, or "solo" a channel or group
of channels in the headphones. When the PFL switch is pressed
down, the channel is assigned to the solo bus and can be heard in
headphones plugged in to the PHONES connector located in the
front panel jack field. Since the signal is sent pre fader, you can
hear the signal regardless of the position of the channel volume
Fader. This allows you to listen to a channel by itself without hav-
ing to play it through the main PA speakers.

40. AFL (After Fader Listen) Switch 1 &2 - The Aux 1 & 2 master send output's AFL, or After Fader
Listen switch allows you to listen, or "solo" a channel or group of channels in the headphones.
When the AFL switch is pressed down, that Aux's signal is assigned to the solo bus and can be
heard in any optional headphones plugged in to the PHONES connector located in the front
panel jack field. This allows you to listen to an Aux send by itself to check that a signal is not
distorted before it gets to the power amplifier. Since the signal is sent after the Aux 1 level
fader, you hear the signal with the added gain from the Aux 1 Level control.
41. AUX 1 & 2 Master Send Faders - These faders control the overall output of the Aux 1 & 2 bus.
Each of the channels Aux signals are mixed together and sent to the Aux Outputs. Use the Aux
1 & 2 level controls to set the amount of signal being sent to Aux 1 & 2 Outputs.
