Main Mix - Mackie 3204VLZ4 Quick User Manual

All is a stereo solo bus, so in all mode, soloing Group 1
by itself ~ilaces the signal on the left, Grout) 2 shows ~p
on the right, and soloing both yields a stereo image, with
Group 1
on the
left
and Group 2 on Llie rigl and each
reduced by 3 dB, not unlike using one or the channels'
balance pots to center the signal. Groups 3 and 4
function similarly
fl
S lo signals reaching the headphones and
monitor outputs are not affected by the
channel level or main level; therefore. turn

The rude solo light [59) will turn on as a reminder
that what. you are listening to in the headphones isjust
the soloed group(s)

As you might expect, these faders control the levels
of the signals sent
to
the group outs [11]. All channels
that arc assigned to groups, not muted. and not turn d
fully down will appear at the group outs.
The group signal is off when its fader is fully down,
the "U" marking is unity gain, and fully up provides
10 dB additional gain. Remember that if you are treating
two groups as a stereo pair, group 1 and 2 for example,
make sure that both group faders "ride' together to
maintain the left/right balance.

This stereo Pider allows you to adjust the le~ els of the
main mix signals sent to the XLR and 1/4" main

of additional gain. This a.c ditional
gain
will typically
never be needed, but once
again,
it's nice to know
that
it's there. The fader is stereo, as it affects both the left
and right of the
main mix ertually. This
is the ideal
control to slowly bring down at the end of a song
(or
quickly
in the
middle of a song
if the need ever arises).
This
control does not affect the aux outputs [131.

however,
