Configuring A Blank Or Existing Mixer; Monitor Bus; Aux Bus - Merging Pyramix 4.3 User Manual

The associated Surround Mix output strip routing is shown below:
The top row of A B C D buttons toggles the surround bus outputs on/off. The bottom row selects which
surround bus the XLR icons refer to. Routing to physical outputs or Internal Return Busses is accom-
plished in the same way as other busses. I.e. right-click the relevant XLR icon and select Connect >
etc. from the menu.

Monitor Bus

A monitoring bus provides dedicated outputs connected to the control room speakers. It provides inde-
pendent level control and non-destructive solo capabilities.
Mono, Stereo and Surround monitoring buses are available.
Note: The three types of Monitor bus function independently. Mono mix busses route
to Mono Monitor busses when the relevant Select Mix button is lit. If there is more than
one Mono mix bus (or Multiple Mono Mix Bus) is present the Select Mix buttons toggle
the monitoring between the busses. Stereo and Surround Mix Busses work the same
way. If no Select Mix button is lit, input strip signals are routed to all monitor outputs.
I.e. if no Select Mix button is lit on any Surround Mix bus. A signal from a mono input
strip will appear on all six Surround Monitor Bus outputs.

Aux Bus

Mono and Stereo Aux busses provide a way to create 'auxiliary' mixes which are normally used to
provide headphone or cue mixes for musicians, or to send signals to effects such as reverbs, delays,
choruses, etc.
Dim Switch
The dim switch in Monitor Bus strips attenuates the Monitor Bus ouput(s) by 20 dB active.
Solo In Place/Mono Switch
Toggles between In Place (stereo) Solo when lit or Mono solo monitoring. (Mono and Stereo busses
only)
