3. AFL
Short for 'After Fade Listen' allows the user to monitor the Aux Mix on the Main Outputs; ideal for quickly listening to the Artist's
headphone mix.
4. CUT
Mutes the signal output of the HP Aux channel
5. MONO
Switches the output to Mono, summing both L&R signals together.
6. FADER
Sets the master level for the HP Bus. Remember this is pre-physical gain control on the SSL 18 front panel.
7. MIRROR OUT
Allows you to route an aux master bus output directly to a physical output.
Clicking in the MIRROR OUT dropdown box at the bottom of the channel causes a pop-out list to appear. From this list you can
choose the physical output you would like to route to.
The mirror routing system on the aux masters can be very useful for the following tasks such as
• Feeding external hardware metering units
• Feeding external hardware FX processors such as reverbs
Any output you configure as a mirror output will trump that particular output from the DAW. e.g. If you are using ADAT outputs 1-2 in a
mirror route, any signal you attempt to route out of ADAT outputs 1-2 in the DAW will not work until you remove ADAT output 1-2 from
use as a mirror route - select 'No Route' to remove your mirror route.
Mirror out routes made from aux or monitor busses are always post fader.

The Line 3-4 aux master has all the same parameter controls as the Headphones aux masters, but with the addition of the Channel
link/unlink button at the very bottom of the fader section.
When linked, the button glows green and represents Stereo Operation
