Mixer View continued...
The thin illuminated strip surrounding the main
fader meter also helps indicate which mix type is
currently selected; the color varies and is dependent
on the selected output. This is the same indicator
that is also on display surrounding each input meter.
Also note how the selected output is displayed in nice,
big text and surrounded by a box of the same color as
the selected output.
In the images below, all we did was change the
selected output from Main to Aux 1 to Aux 2. Notice
how each channel's input meter is surrounded by
the color of the selected output.
Main
Aux 1
Aux 2
The Main output is used for the PA in nearly every
scenario. On the other hand, the Aux output(s) are
typically used as stage monitors for the band. How-
ever, auxes may be used for external effects devices,
headphone amplifers or a myriad of other uses instead.
Separate level controls for separate functions!

10. GEQ Button

The GEQ button is located at the bottom of the output
strip and it allows access to the selected output (Main
or Aux) GEQ.
When tapped, all channel strips disappear and
the selected output strip – Main or Aux – remains
on the right. The rest of the screen then becomes
occupied with the GEQ settings.
Because the GEQ is part of the (output) channel
view, there is much more – text and screen shots! –
about the GEQ on page 18.

11. System View Button

The gear icon button is located in the upper-right
corner of MixerConnect and it allows access to the
System View.
When tapped, all channel strips disappear and
the selected output strip – Main or Aux – remains
on the right. The rest of the screen then becomes
occupied with the System View settings. Additionally,
the gear icon illuminates green to indicate that the
System View is open.
Simply tapping the gear icon button again returns
you back to the previous view, be it the Mixer View
or Channel View.
