combination of each Aux Send is mixed to the respective Aux Output at the rear of the
1
mixer. For Effects it is useful for the signal to fade up and down with the fader (this is called
POST-FADE), but for Foldback or Monitor feeds it is important for the send to be independ-
ent of the fader (this is called PRE-FADE). All Aux Sends are muted with the other channel
3
outputs when the MUTE switch is pressed.
6
All six Aux Sends are POST-EQ, unless the EQ is bypassed using the EQ switch (see above)
4
and are normally POST-FADE for use as effects sends or additional submixes.
5
Aux's 1&2 and 3&4 may if required be switched in pairs to PRE-FADE by pressing the
respective PRE switch, for use as foldback or monitor feeds. Aux's 5&6 always remain POST-
2
FADE.
10 - PAN
This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and Right MIX buses,
7
allowing you to move the source smoothly across the stereo image. When the control is
turned fully right or left you are able to route the signal at unity gain to either left or right
outputs individually.
11 - MUTE
8
All outputs from the channel except inserts are active when the MUTE switch is released
and muted when the switch is down, allowing levels to be pre-set before the signal is
required.
12 - FADER
9
The 100mm FADER allows precise balancing of the various source signals being mixed to
the Master Section. You get most control when the input sensitivity is set up correctly, giving
full travel on the fader. See the 'Setting Up & Troubleshooting' Section for help in setting a
suitable signal level.

13 - PFL
11
When the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade, post-EQ signal is fed to the head-
phones, control room output and meters, where it replaces the selected monitor source. The
adjacent LED lights to identify the selected channel and the PFL/AFL LED on the Master
15
section illuminates to warn that a PFL is active. This is a useful way of listening to any
required input signal without interrupting the main mix, for making adjustments or tracing
problems.
12
14 - SIGNAL
14
The 3-colored LED lighting is used to indicate the level of input signal, which is sampled
13
PRE-EQ. When the signal is at a low level (-40 dBu - +4 dBu), the LED illuminates green.
When the signal is at a normal performance level (+4 dBu - +17 dBu), the LED illuminates
amber. When the signal passes above +17 dBu, the LED warns in red.
15 - ROUTING
The channel signal may be routed to the main stereo MIX or pairs of group busses (1-2,
3-4) by pressing the respective switches, with the channel signal fed proportionately to left
(1, 3) or right (2, 4) depending on the position of the PAN control. The channel signal may
also be routed to the separate centre (mono) bus by pressing the C switch, unaffected by
the position of the PAN control.
