Solo
• Pressing the solo clear button associated with the solo bus they are sending to
(A or B) will clear active solos.
• A solo hierarchy exists for each of the solo buses in the console; see "Solo hierarchy"
on page 206. Activating a solo with a higher precedence in the hierarchy deactivates
all solos with less precedence and inhibits them from being operated. As soon as the
higher precedence solos are cleared, the stages of the inhibited solos are restored
and they resume normal operation. Some modifications to this hierarchy are
possible: mix buses, for example, can be used as sub-mixes (in which case the
hierarchy is as described) or outputs (in which case they have equal precedence with
the master outputs); returns can be used as mix buses (keeping the hierarchy as
described) or additional inputs (giving them the same precedence as inputs).
With solo A off there is no solo in operation.

(SIP)
1. It is not possible to activate SIP accidentally. The SIP button has a hinged
clear plastic cover that has to lifted up before the button can be operated.
2. For SIP purposes, master outputs can be the main master bus or, if configured,
a multi-channel output mix.
3. To be eligible for SIP muting, channels must be input channels and set up to
solo to the solo A bus; channels with any other combination are not subjected
to SIP muting.
4. Channels eligible for SIP muting that are currently, or subsequently, muted by
a means other than SIP (that is, local button press, auto-mute or scene recall)
remain muted regardless of the SIP status. On removal of the overriding
mute, the mute is restored according to the current SIP status; see
Figure 4 on page 203.

• On (additive solos)
• Off (self-cancelling solos)
• On (some solo A solos)
• Off (no solo A solos)
• PFL (solo pre-fader)
• AFL (solo after-fader)
• On (SIP active)
• Off (SIP inactive)
Description
Direct inject to solo A from linked console,
active only while solo A is PFL.
Direct inject to solo A from linked console,
active only while solo A is AFL.
Mono summed direct output from solo A for
linking to another console.
Stereo direct output from solo A for linking
to another console.
Disable self-cancelling solo A solos. (When
self-cancelling solos are selected, that is,
with solo add mode off, the solo being
cancelled should be deactivated before
activating a new solo.)
Single button clearing of currently active solo
A solos.
Switch all current and future solo A
activations to send the solo A bus pre-fader.
When active, SIP uses the console's master
outputs for the solo A material. It does this
by muting all input channels that are not
currently soloed to the solo A bus.
