Solo Level
The Solo knob controls the solo level (APL and PFL modes) sent to the speakers or the
Solo Output in PatchNet. The level is indicated on the LEDs surrounding the knob. The

Solo Clear
All solo channels can be cleared using either of these methods:
•
Press the switch in the center of the Solo knob.
•
Press the Clear key on the bottom-right of the Solo Control Panel.

Intercancel, Momentary, and Sum
The Solo keys on the Strips sum by default: the Sum key in the Solo Control Panel is
illuminated when first displayed. This means multiple channels can be soloed by press-
ing additional Solo keys; they must be explicitly cleared. There are two other options
available in the Solo Control Panel that control the Solo key:
•
Momentary: The Solo key must be held down but multiple channels can be
active at a time.
•
Intercancel: Pressing each new Solo key clears the last solo channel and
activates the new one.

Solo Speaker Selection
The APL and PFL solo signals can be routed to the following speakers by activating
their respective keys in the Solo Control Panel:
•
Solo>None: The Solo signal is not sent to a speaker but can be routed using
PatchNet.
•
Solo>Alt1: The Solo signal is sent to the Alt1 speaker.
•
Solo>Alt2: The Solo signal is sent to the Alt2 speaker.
•
Solo>Flw: The Solo signal follows the active control room speaker selection
(Alt1 or Alt2).
5.3.6

In APL and PFL modes, the speakers not fed by the Solo signal can be dimmed. Press
