    Aux Sends 1-6 [19] are line-level outputs, and are used if you want to connect external processors, powered stage monitors, or external power amps with passive stage monitors. Aux Returns 1-4 [18] are line-level inputs, typically used to return the output from external processors back to the main mix.

    The Onyx 1640i is what we call a "true 4-bus mixer." Each channel may be assigned or unassigned to any of the subgroups without affecting the other subgroups or settings within the channel, and each subgroup has its own master fader and dedicated output.

    But what if the engineer needs to hear something other than the main mix in the control room or headphones? With the Onyx 1640i, the engineer has several choices of what to listen to. This is one of those tricky parts, so buckle up.

    You can get a good mix with peaks fl ashing anywhere between –20 and +10 dB on the meters. Most amplifi ers clip at about +10 dBu, and some recorders aren’t so forgiving either. For best real-world results, try to keep your peaks between “0”...

    DESTINATION PHONES AUX 1-6 EXTERNAL TALKBACK Talkback The talkback feature allows the engineer to communicate with the talent either through the phones outputs [42] or the aux 1-6 send outputs [19] using the built-in talkback microphone. This saves a lot of shouting over the audience's heads as you set up the talented one's stage monitors to their peculiarly-picky satisfaction.

    Those seven tracks can now be EQ'd on the Onyx 1640i mixer and routed to subgroups 1-2. These are then transmitted back for recording to your digital audio workstation (DAW) via FireWire. This is called track bounce.

    73. MAIN MIX This stereo fader allows you to adjust the levels of the main mix signals sent to the XLR and 1/4" main line-level outputs [8, 10], and the tape outputs [15]. This gives you the ultimate feeling of power and control over the sound levels sent to your audience.
