Studio/Solo Section
This section contains a V-Pot to control sev-
eral different functions. When SOLO LEVEL is
selected, the V-Pot controls the solo bus signal
level. When STUDIO LEVEL is selected, it con-
trols the signal level at the STUDIO OUT jacks.
When the TALKBACK LEVEL button is selected,
it controls the level of the Talkback Mic. Use
the PFL SOLO button and AFL SOLO to choose
between pre-fader and post-fader soloing.
The TALKBACK TO STUDIO button directs
the Talkback Mic signal to the STUDIO
OUTputs. The CLEAR SOLO button provides a
quick way to turn off all the SOLO buttons on
the console.
Normally, when a channel is soloed, it af-
fects only the Control Room Outputs, and not
the Main outputs. Pressing the MIXDOWN
SOLO button allows you to solo channels in the
L-R Main Outputs.

selected in the Phones/Cue Mix Section. Use

This is where you select the signal source
and adjust the output level for the control room
outputs. Press 2 TRACK A, B, or C to select
one of three 2-track sources. Press DIGITAL
IN 1 to select the AES/EBU Input, and DIGI-
TAL IN 2 to select the S/PDIF Input as the
control room source, and press L-R to select
the L-R bus.
The NEAR FIELD and MAIN buttons are
used to select either the CR NEAR FIELD out-
put or the CR MAIN output. When MONO is
selected, the stereo Control Room signal is
summed into a monaural output, a useful fea-
ture for checking for phase cancellations
between the left and right channels.
COPY MIX TO CUE
Use the SPEAKER LEVEL V-Pot to adjust
the output level of the selected CR output. The
CONTROL ROOM
DIM button quickly attenuates the Control
Room output by 20 dB (in case the phone
rings). The TALKBACK button routes signals
arriving at the in-panel TALKBACK MIC to Cue
LEVEL
Mixes 1 and 2, and to the Studio Outputs when
the TALKBACK TO STUDIO button is pressed
in the Solo/Studio Section.
