Solo/Afl/Pfl; Cue/Fx Send Master Controls - Solid State Logic AWS 900+ SE Owner's Manual

SOLO / AFL / PFL
The console's default Solo mode is a destructive solo-in-place – soloing a channel cuts all other channels. The
alternative solo modes – AFL, PFL and Solo-in-front are selected via the soft key display in the Monitor Control
Section. Press the AFL/PFL button above the display to produce the following options:
AFL – Pressing a channel solo button routes the post pan signal, via the stereo AFL bus and the AFL level
control, to the currently selected monitor speakers.
PFL – Pressing a channel solo button routes a mono pre -fade signal, via the PFL bus and the PFL level control,
to the left and right Main monitor speakers. Optionally, PFL signals may be fed to the Mini loudspeakers – see
PFM on page 4-21.
SIF – (Solo In Front) Pressing a channel solo button routes a mix of the AFL signal and the selected left and
right monitor sources to the monitor outputs. The SIF level control (see page 4-20) adjusts the balance between
AFL signal and desk output.
ISO – This allows you to solo isolate selected channels.
ALT – Makes channel solo buttons intercancel with each other, so that soloing one channel will clear any other
solo selections.
MOM – This option makes all the channel solo buttons momentary.

Cue/FX Send Master Controls

Each channel is fitted with one Cue Stereo and four mono FX sends for use as foldback, feeds to effects
devices, etc. The Cue Stereo outputs from each channel may be routed to one of two busses – Cue Stereo A or
Cue Stereo B and the FX1 and FX2 outputs to the FX3 and FX4 busses respectively.
The master output level controls for these busses (in the top right of the centre section – see left) all have 10dB
of gain when turned fully clockwise. The controls are indented at the '12 o'clock' position, which corresponds to
0dB gain.
An AFL button is provided for each output. The AFL signal is intelligently assigned to left and
right AFL busses. Selecting AFL on a single FX output will route signal to both left and right
AFL busses. Selecting AFL on odd and even numbered FX outputs will route the odd
numbered output to the left AFL bus and the even numbered output to the right AFL bus.
The two Cue Stereo and four mono FX outputs are available to external devices via a 25-way
D-type connector on the centre section connector panel. The mono FX sends are also
available on 6.35mm jacks on the connector panel.
A dedicated set of LCD bargraphs just above the master controls provides metering of the Cue
and FX busses.
