16 PEAK LED
Inside your LYNX-MIX USB mixer, the audio signal is monitored in several different
stages and then sent to the PEAK LED. When the LED is red illuminated, it warns
you that you are reaching signal saturation and possible distortion, then you should
reduce the input level for avoiding distortion.
17 MUTE Button & LED
Each channel is equipped with a MUTE button. Pressing this button is equal
to turning the fader down, which can mute the corresponding channel output
except for the channel INSERT send and SOLO (in PFL mode). And the MUTE
LED will illuminate.
18 ASSIGNMENT Controls
Each channel provides four push-buttons: SUB1-2, SUB3-4, MAIN L-R and SOLO.
Pressing the SOLO button, the corresponding SOLO LED will illuminate and the
SOLO signal will replace other signals send to the Headphone/Control Room and
Meters. Usually use the SOLO function in live work to preview channels before
they are let into the mix. It is useful to set an instrument's input level and EQ,
and you can also solo any channel that you want to. The SOLO switch never
affects any mix other than the Control Room. The other three buttons can be
considered as signal assignment switches. Pressing the SUB1-2 will assign the
channel signal to Subgroup1/2, you can depend on the PAN switch to adjust the
amount of channel signal sent to the SUB1 versus SUB2, when turns the PAN
to completely left, then the signal can be only controlled by Subgroup1 and vice-
versa. In the same way, pressing the SUB3-4 or MAIN L/R will assign the channel
signal to Subgroup3/4 or MAIN MIX L/R, and will also be affected by PAN.
19 FADER
This fader will adjust the overall level of this channel and set the amount of signal
send to the main output.
20 Control Room Source
You can choose to monitor any combination of MAIN MIX, SUB1-2, SUB 3-4 and
2TK IN via these Matrix switches. Engaging these switches, the stereo signals
will be delivered to the Phones, Control Room and Meters display.
NOTE: When any SOLO switch was engaged, the SOLO signal will replace other
signals, and also be sent to the Control Room, Phones and Meters.
