By default, the solo signal is tapped from a
channel post-fader. This is useful if you want to
solo several channels and adjust the balance
between them. Sometimes it's useful to solo a
channel pre-fader so you can hear it even when
the fader is turned down (to find and eliminate
an annoying buzz, for example, or to set the
proper input sensitivity level on a channel).
• Press the SOLO PFL (Pre-Fader Listen)
button in the Studio/Solo Section to change
the solo function to pre-fader.

Note: When switching from AFL to PFL, be
wary. If the fader is set below unity (the "U"
symbol), and you press the SOLO AFL button
in the Studio/Solo Section to turn it off (i.e.,
change to pre-fader), the solo signal will become
louder; much louder if the fader is below about
–5 dB. This could come as a rude surprise!
You may want to solo an aux send so you
can hear the signals being sent to an external
effect or floor monitor.
• Press the AUX button in the V-Pot Select
Section to select the Aux bus that you want
to solo.

Note: PFL and AFL SOLO have no effect when

the soloed channels in the Control Room by
selecting MASTER L-R in the Control Room
Section.
