Before looking at the function of the output section of the console it is essential that the user is first comfortable with a few of
the consoles features that affect groups, matrixes and auxes. Rather than discuss these features in each section (although
they will be repeated there) an understanding of their function in a more general context is desirable.
Group Aux Changeover

The Verona achieves this flexibility using the
individually 'changed over' so that the group output path becomes that of the aux output and vice versa.
Why not buy a monitor or FOH console?
The Verona has been developed with real world sound engineers in mind. The real flexibility of the Verona is
in the speed in which the change over can be made and also the ability to create a
be used for FOH and monitors for the smaller venue where you still need monitors but don't have space or
money for a monitor engineer or console.
Depressing the group aux changeover switch (using a pointed object such as a pencil) will connect the
auxiliary buss to the group

This routing flexibility is available on each group/aux buss.

Direct Inputs
The Verona has four (4) direct inputs on balanced TRS quarter-inch jack sockets located next to the
matrix outputs on the rear panel which can be used for console linking or effects returns.
Mono
- Routes the direct input to the
main mono buss.
Mtx
- Routes the direct input to the
similarly numbered matrix buss (i.e. 1
through 4).
Solo
- Routes the direct input to the
mono PFL and stereo AFL buss
The Verona is a dual purpose console. That is, that the Verona is equally as comfortable
as a monitor console as it is as a front of house console.
What does this actually mean?
Monitor
engineers tend to prefer the output faders on their console to operate the
auxiliary outputs (for monitors) where
their output faders for groups (either for sub mixes or delay/alternative outputs).
insert
, group
It is possible on the Verona to change the group meters to monitor the aux or matrix
output rather than the group output. For example, if using the matrix outputs to drive
delay speakers, it may be desirable to monitor the output from those outputs.
