LINKING MONO INPUTS

Adjacent pairs of mono input channels can be linked together if required. The left channel is always an odd-
numbered channel, and the right channel is the next channel up.
To link a pair of channels proceed as follows.
Press the MENU button, it's next to the touch screen. This will bring the Menu page up, if it isn't already there.
Touch the CHANNEL pad on the screen.
This will open the CHANNEL SETUP page. This has two parameters: the Channel Name and the Type.
To select an input channel press its SEL button.
The Channel Name has a default setting, for example CH01-A01. To change this setting rotate the ADJUST
encoder (to the right of the screen) until the Channel Name parameter is highlighted, then press the ADJUST
encoder. The QWERTY keyboard screen is displayed and the name can be edited. When the editing is complete
press the encoder, or press the APPLY button (also to the right of the screen). The editing process can be
aborted by pressing the BACK button.
The Type has a default setting of Mono but it may be changed to Linked. To change this setting rotate the
ADJUST encoder (to the right of the screen) until the Type parameter is highlighted, then press the ADJUST
encoder. Rotate until the required setting is displayed and press the encoder again (or press APPLY).
When a channel has been assigned as a stereo, it and its twin are identifiable as a linked pair because their
FaderGlow™ lights are illuminated white. The faders are also linked together. In addition the following settings
of the left channel are copied to the right channel: Gain, Phantom Power, Bus Routing, Compressor and Gate.
The Delay and Phase settings remain unlinked. The PAN control becomes a balance control.

STEREO LINE INPUTS

There are 4 Stereo Line inputs. The inputs are via 4 pairs of TRS jacks which are located on the master rear
connector panel. By default these channels are mapped to faders 25 to 28 on bank D.
The controls and routing available are similar to those of the Mono Input Channels.

2-TRACK INPUT

It is possible to configure one of the Stereo Line Inputs into a dedicated channel for playing pre-show
material. The output of this channel is routed directly to the mix outputs (post master fader). The configuration
is done via the touch screen.
LEXICON™ FX RETURNS
There are 4 Lexicon FX Return Channels. By default these channels are mapped to faders 29 to 32 on bank
D. The FaderGlow colour is light blue.
These Channels each take their input from one of the four inbuilt LEXICON FX modules.
Note that the parameter controls for the Lexicon FX modules are located in the master section: press
the LEXICONS button in the UPPER ROW group to access the controls.
