Chapter 5 Mixing Procedure 1 (Input Channel)

Listen to a channel by itself (SOLO)

Channel signals—both input and multi-in—can be set to SOLO mode in which all
the other channels are temporarily muted, allowing you to listen to the channel alone
(SOLO). SOLO mode sends the soloed channel's signal to the following outputs:
• The mixing processor's MONITOR OUT jack
• The console's MONITOR LINE OUT jack
• Headphones connected to the console's PHONES jack
Using the STATUS button to enter SOLO mode
1. Press the [SOLO] in the CH STATUS MODE area so that the button lights.
2. Select either [INPUT] or [MULTI IN], depending on the type of channel
you want to solo.
3. Press the desired channel's STATUS button so that the button lights—all
other channels are silenced so that you can listen to the selected channel by
itself.
4. If you want to solo additional channels, press their STATUS buttons.
Press [STATUS] again to un-solo a channel—the button's light turns off. When all
soloed channels have been un-soloed, the SOLO function is switched off.
If IN PLACE (Solo In Place) is selected on the SOLO screen (p. 68), signals are heard
as they are in the main mix, with their main-mix panning preserved, for example.
Otherwise, if PRE EQ or PEL (Pre Fader Listen) is selected, the cue bus is used for
soloed signals.
When IN PLACE is selected, all other signals in the main mix are muted except for
soloed channels. Therefore, when IN PLACE is selected, do not use the SOLO
function during the recording of a mix, when sending the MAIN OUTs to a stage
speaker system or when broadcasting from the MAIN OUTs.

Adjusting Various Channel Settings (Equalizer, etc.)

All input and multi-in channels are equipped with parametric equalizers and HPF
(high-pass-filter) equalizers that allow you to alter the change the frequency
characteristics of the channel's signal. Each channel also contains a feedback delay
function that allows you to generate echo and comb-filter effects.

Adjusting frequency characteristics (channel equalizer)

How the channel equalizer works
The channel equalizers (EQ) incorporated in this system parametric equalizers in
which switching between 4-band and 3-band + 1-filter modes is possible. High- and
low-frequency EQ bands are shelving EQs, while the high-middle and low-middle
bands are peaking EQs.
