About the PHONE and PROGRAM 4 buses:
Element's Program 4 mix bus is a special multi-
purpose bus that does several things at once to
make life easier for the operator.
Any source assigned to Program 4 also be fed
to the PHONE bus and sent to callers when the
channel is OFF and AUTO is selected as the
Feed To Source Mode. PHONE is an internal bus
which does not feed a separate output; instead,
it picks up the Program 4 audio pre-fader and
pre-On/Off and backfeeds them to an PHONE
sources.
Sources assigned to Program 4 are also sent to
the RECORD bus, a special fixed-level output
that can be used to feed recording devices. This
RECORD bus is post fader and pre on/off.

these button presses. Some of these uses have included
