7 FX Send
This control sets the level of the post-fade signal being sent to the FX
bus; from there it is routed to the FX processor.
8 PAN
This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and
Right MIX buses, allowing you to move the source smoothly across the
stereo image. When the control is turned fully left or right you are able to
route the signal at unity gain to either left or right outputs individually.
9 MUTE
All outputs from the channel except inserts are on when the MUTE switch
is released and muted when the switch is down, allowing levels to be pre-
set before the signal is required.
10 INPUT CHANNEL FADER
The 60mm FADER, with a custom-designed law to give even smoother
control of the overall signal level in the channel strip, allows precise bal-
ancing of the various source signals being mixed to the Master Section.
You get most control when the input GAIN is set up correctly, giving full
travel on the fader. See the "Initial Setup" section on page 31 for help in
setting a suitable signal level.
11 PFL
When the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade pre-mute signal is
fed to the headphones, control room output and meters, where it re-
places the MIX. The PFL ACTIVE LED on the Master section illuminates to
warn that a PFL is active. This is a useful way of listening to any required
input signal without interrupting the main mix, for making adjustments or
tracing problems. When PFL is pressed anywhere on the console, the
Control Room outputs automatically switch from monitoring the Mix Out-
puts.
12 PEAK LED
This LED will light when the signal level approaches clipping at any of the
three monitored points:
a) PRE-EQ
b) POST-EQ
c) POST-FADE
