post-mute.

fader. This is common for live recording to
multitrack. The live mix fader movements do not
affect the recording. Move the jumper from C to D to
change to post-fade. Post-fade is appropriate when
using the output as a direct channel effects send.
Channel Aux pre/post settings
default is Aux 1-2 = pre-fade, Aux 3-4 = switched,
Aux 5-6 = post-fade. You can change these settings
for different combinations of pre/post or switched
auxes by repositioning the links. Refer to the system
block diagram to explore the possibilities. Make sure
you set all mono and stereo channels the same.
Before you make your choice, consider whether you
want to use AUX5 or 5/6 for the internal effects
(should be post) and/or AUX6 to feed aux fed subs
(also post). We recommend you only change these
settings if absolutely necessary.
Stereo/Mono aux source
channels can feed the auxes with a mono sum of
L+R, or be configured so that L feeds the odd
numbered auxes, and R the even. This is preferred
when using odd/even auxes as stereo pairs. Factory
default is the mono setting. Note that you should
also set the ST1 (ST5) stereo/mono jumper to the
same position.
Effects return stereo/mono aux source
The return channel ST1 (5) feeds Auxes 1-4 with a
mono sum of the stereo signal. If you are working
with stereo auxes you can reconfigure this for stereo
with L feeding Auxes 1, 3 and R feeding Auxes 2, 4.
The jumper is found behind the AUX2 send control.
AB source pre or post LR faders
factory default is that the post-fade LR mix feeds the
AB output. If you prefer the master LR faders not to
affect the AB output then reposition the two option
jumpers in the PRE position. This may be desired if
you are using the AB output to feed a 2-track
recording independent of the house level.
