Solo Safes - ALLEN & HEATH GL4800 User Manual

Solo Safes

Solo-In-Place can mute all the console mutes including channels, aux sends, groups
and main outputs. To hear the effect of soloed channels the required outputs should
not be muted. You may also wish to always hear the effect of signal processing
devices such as reverbs connected to the console aux sends and returns. Here, the
aux sends and channels allocated as effects returns should not mute when solo is
activated.
The GL4800 includes a 'solo safe' facility so that selected mutes can be disabled
from the solo system. This works in the same way as the 'mute safes' described
earlier but affects solo and not the mute groups or snapshots. Any mutes made
'safe' can be previewed and edited before Solo-In-Place is activated and without
affecting the console mute status. Solo safe settings are retained on power off and
can be archived via MIDI.
