Solo Bus

2.9.4
The StudioLive features a solo bus for flexible monitoring. In this way, you can fine-tune a vocal
compressor in your control-room monitors or headphones while the rest of the band is warming up,
or audition an aux mix for more accurate adjustments. For more information on using the Solo bus,
please review Section 5.9.
Cue Mix Volume Control

SIP (Solo In Place) On/Off Button
Adjusts the Overall Volume of the Solo Bus.
This knob adjusts the overall level for the Solo bus.
Enables PFL Solo Mode.
The default setting for the Solo bus is After-Fader Listen
(AFL); by pressing PFL, Pre-Fader Listening is enabled. In
either mode, pressing Solo on any channel or bus routes
that channel to the Solo bus and has no effect on the
main or subgroup mixes. PFL soloing is not available for
the Subgroups. The Aux bus soloing is always PFL with
or without this mode enaged.
Enables Solo In Place Mode
SIP (Solo In Place), or "destructive soloing," mutes every
unsoloed channel on the StudioLive. If one of the muted
channels is routed to the mains or a subgroup, it will
be muted in those outputs. This also applies to soloed
channels: The output routing is still active. Note that while
you can manually unmute a channel this mode should
be used with extreme caution during a live performance.
Only the input channels can be placed into destructive
soloing. The Subgroups and Aux buses are omitted from
SIP mode.
To enable SIP press and hold the button until it illuminates
red. This ensures that you cannot enter into destructive
Solo mode by accident.
It is important to note that when SIP is engaged,
channel mutes will only apply to the Subgroup & Main
assignments. Unlike independent muting, SIP does not
mute input channels in Aux Send mixes.
