SOLO
Whenever solo is engaged, all control room/head-
phone 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 chan-
nels 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
