Chapter 15: Muting and Mute Groups

Muting

Channels can be muted in three ways: explicitly (lit solid),
with the channel mute switch; implicitly (flashing), as a result
of another channel being soloed, and as a member of a Mute
Group or VCA (flashing).
Mute switches always behave in additive (latched) fashion.
Channels can be muted in any sequence, and they will remain
muted until they are unmuted.
Muting Input Channels and FX Returns
Channel mute is pre-fader on Input Channels and FX Returns.
To control the mute status of an Input Channel or FX Return:
Press the Mute switch on the channel to toggle its mute sta-
tus. The Mute switch lights solid to indicate the channel is ex-
plicitly muted.

Muting Output Busses
Mute operation is post-fader on all types of Output busses.
To control the mute status of an output bus:
Press one of the following switches in the Output Fader or
1
Output Encoder assignment sections to assign control of the
corresponding busses:
• Aux 1–8
• Aux 9–16
• Personal Qs (Assignable Output Faders only)
• Matrixes (Assignable Output Faders only)
• Groups
Press a Mute switch in the assigned section to toggle the
2
mute status of the corresponding output bus.
Muting VCAs
When you mute a VCA, its member channels are muted. The
member channel Mute switches flash to indicate they are
muted as part of a VCA.
To mute the members of a VCA:
Press the Mute switch on the VCA channel whose members
you want to mute so that the Mute switch is lit.
