Adjusting Group Bus Output Controls

Group Bus Output Levels
See "Adjusting Output Controls" on page 74.
Group Bus Output Pan
Group bus output pan is controlled from the Output encod-
ers.
Groups-to-Mains assignment is displayed by the indicator
LED for each Output encoder, when Groups are banked to the
Output faders. The Output encoder Pan switch cycles the en-
coders and LCD to pan, balance and width parameters.
The pan controls adjust pan (when in mono Groups configu-
ration) or stereo balance and width (when in stereo Groups
configuration) of the Group output to the Main busses only.
The Group outputs in the Patchbay are distinct left and right
channels.
To control mono Group output pan:
Bank the Output faders to Groups.
1
Press the Pan switch in the Output encoder section once to

Working with Mono Group Busses
When configured as mono busses, Groups can operate in the
following modes:
Simple Mode
In Simple mode, either all Groups on a channel are mono, or
all Groups on a channel act as bus pairs.
Expert Mode
In Expert mode, any of the 4 bus pairs can be stereo linked in-
dividually while leaving the other busses as mono, on a per
channel basis.
To set the link status of individual mono Group busses on a
channel (Expert Mode only):
Make sure Stereo Group Panning is set to Expert Mode.
1
Select an Input Channel or FX Return whose signal you
2
want to send to a Group bus. To select multiple channels, use
the Multi-Select switch next to the input faders.
In the ACS Bus Assigns section, press the Stereo Pan switch.
3
The switch flashes yellow to indicate bus link mode.
Press any of the Group switches to link or unlink the bus
4
pairs (1–2, 3–4, 5–6, or 7–8). The Group switch pairs flash yel-
low to indicate stereo linked, or flash green to indicate mono.
Press the flashing Stereo Pan switch to confirm the bus link
5
status for the selected channels.
