    …Monitor a signal? There are a number of ways to monitor a signal using the SUMMIT. The easiest is of course to solo the signal by pushing the SOLO button in the channel’s View screen. This will immediately send the signal to your Control Room and Headphones mix. However a normal solo will cut the signal sent to your Main mix.
  • Page 29 …Connect an amplifier to the SUMMIT? The easiest way to use the SUMMIT in live situations is to connect the Main XLR outputs on the rear of the SUMMIT to an amplifier’s input, or else to the input of a couple of active speakers. For a surround system, you may also want to use the 1/4” Multi outputs. You can assign any of your AUX or Group mixes to the Multi outputs, so making a submix for your rear speakers should be a piece of cake.
