6.5 PFL/SOLO

6.5.1 PFL
Pressing disengages the stereo SOLO bus, and replaces it with a separate
S 95
mono PFL (Pre-Fader-Listen) bus. Now anything at all which is SOLOed, isn't.
It is PFLed instead. PFL should be used for gain-setting. (See also the essential
section 13 "Start-up".)
6.5.2 SOLO
SOLO is short for SOLO IN PLACE, and is the preferred method for auditioning
an isolated signal or a group of signals. Whenever a SOLO button is pressed,
all unselected channels are muted in the monitors. Stereo panning is maintained.
The SOLO bus is derived from the output of the channel PANs, aux send/return
pots, etc., and is always post fader.
In addition to any local solo LEDs which might be activated, the ultra-bright MAIN
SOLO LED ( ) illuminates whenever anything is SOLO/PFLed.

the master SOLO/PFL level. Set to unity gain (center detente), this will match the
mix level.
6.6 Talkback
Fig. 6.7: Talkback
The built in mic (above the main mix faders) allows you to converse with
artists remotely. The most important controls are the VOLUME (
PHONES & STUDIO button ( S 99 , see fig. 6.7). It is possible to route the talkback
mic to any of the following: aux 1, aux 2, subgroups, and phones and studio
( to ).

Complex headphone or stage monitoring networks could be constructed where
, , aux 1 (pre), aux 2 (pre) and one or more subgroups all feed

separate monitor mixes. (See section 16.2 "Very tricky headphones").
However, since the four pushbuttons are non-latching it might drive you crazy.
If you are using many headphone feeds, you may find it easier to patch a separate
microphone for talkback straight into a channel, where it can be routed pretty
much anywhere.
Engaging TALKBACK (S99) dims the control room (monitors, not lights) by -20 dB
to restrict the possibility of feedback. All other talkback routes are unaffected.
