The master controls for mix bus outputs 1-8 vary slightly from
those offered on mix bus outputs 9-16. This is due to the fact
that mix busses 9-16 offer the additional feature of routing, and
panning, onto the stereo master bus. This makes mix busses 9-
16 ideal for use as group outputs in a hybrid FOH/Monitor
application.
