B TO A Function

The output of Mix Bus B can be injected into Mix A by engaging the B TO A button. This would be useful for applying
parallel compression to drums on Mix B (using the Mix B insert point) before blending the compressed drums into Mix A
(containing the uncompressed instruments).
Mix B is injected post the Mix A insert point but pre Mix A level control. If you wish to inject the output of Mix B pre Mix A
insert point, we suggest you take one of these two alternative approaches:
1. Take the Mix B output and connect it back into a stereo input of Sigma, being sure only to route it to Mix A to avoid
an unwanted feedback loop.
E.g.: MIX B OUTPUT > SIGMA STereO CHANNeL > rOUTe TO MIX A > eNGAGe INSerT
or:
2. Instead of using Mix A's insert point to connect your analogue processing equipment, simply connect the output of
Mix A directly into any outboard equipment and take the output of this into your DAW to print back the mix. As a final
step you can send the output of this stem out of your DAW into the EXT input of Sigma, to monitor your printed mix
post D/A conversion.
eNGAGe B TO A FUNCTION > MIX A OUTPUT > ANALOGUe PrOCeSSING > DAw INPUT.
(Final Step) DAw OUTPUT > eXT INPUT OF SIGMA > MONITOr eXT INPUT.

USer Buttons

Two User buttons on the front panel allow you to assign up to
four functions. Each button has a Push and a Push & Hold
operation.
By default the User buttons are set as follows:
Left User Button
Push: Toggles Alternate loudspeaker selection on/off
Push & Hold: Toggles Mono check on/off
right User Button
Push: Mutes loudspeaker outputs
Push & Hold: Dims loudspeaker outputs
The drop-down boxes allow you to change these assignments.

MON/MONITOrING Box

The MON box on the front panel indicates the control room monitor source(s) currently selected. This
could be any combination of MIX A, MIX B or eXT (front panel iJack input and line-level connection on rear
panel D-Sub).
ALT L/S indicates if you have selected the alternate speaker set and MONO shows if you are listening to
a mono foldown of the stereo mix.
HINT: The MON LED on the front panel lights amber to indicate a monitor dim and lights red to indicate
a monitor cut.
