Group/Aux Switching

The G/A modules are all dual types that can be set for GROUP
POST PAN (stereo master), GROUP PRE PAN (dual mono
master), or AUX (dual mono master) operation. The current
mode of each G/A module is shown by the G/A bus mode
indicators.
NOT E
The G/A master module mode can be switched via a utility
function (page 63).
When the G/A bus mode is switched, the actual change occurs not in the G/A module, but in the way the mono or stereo
input channel signal is sent to the group/aux buses (please refer to the block diagram). The operational differences
between the three G/A bus modes are organized in the following chart. Be sure to select the mode that best suits your
application.
G/A Bus Mode
GROUP POST PAN
(L = odd, R = even)
GROUP PRE PAN
AUX x 2 (default)
NOT E
When the G/A bus mode is set to GROUP POST PAN or GROUP PRE PAN or when the mode is set to AUX and the input channel [PRE FADER]
switch is off the channel fader level affects the G/A bus send level. In such a case the send from channels assigned to a VCA or mute group will
also be affected by VCA fader, [VCA MUTE] switch, and mute master switch operation.

From Mono Input Modules
The G/A send block [PRE FADER] switch
and [SEND LEVEL] control have no
effect. The post-fader mono signal is L/R
assigned via the [PAN] control and sent to
the odd and even-numbered G/A buses
(L = odd, R = even).
The G/A send block [PRE FADER] switch
and [SEND LEVEL] control have no
effect. The post-fader mono signal is sent
to the odd and even-numbered G/A buses
in parallel.
The G/A send block [PRE FADER] switch
and [SEND LEVEL] control function
normally. The post-fader mono signal is
sent to the odd and even-numbered G/A
buses in parallel.
Mono AUX mode (default)
From Stereo Input Modules
The G/A send block [PRE FADER] switch
and [SEND LEVEL] control have no
effect. The post-fader stereo signal is L/R
balanced via the [BAL] control and sent to
the odd and even-numbered G/A buses
(L = odd, R = even).
The G/A send block [PRE FADER] switch
and [SEND LEVEL] control have no
effect. The post-fader stereo signal is sent
directly to the odd and even-numbered G/
A buses (L = odd, R = even).
The G/A send block [PRE FADER] switch
and [SEND LEVEL] control function
normally. A mono mix of the post-fader
stereo signal is sent to the odd and even-
numbered G/A buses in parallel.
