MUTE GROUPS

Creating Mute groups

Pressing the VCA/MUTES SETUP button will enter 'setup' mode, and the SETUP button will be illuminated
white.
Note: The OUTPUT FADERS SELECT VCA button will automatically be selected and will be illuminated blue
because at this point you could intend to setup VCA groups or Mute groups. The next key press tells the
console what it is that you want to do
Pressing one of the USER DEFINED (Mute Group Master) buttons (1-8) will enter 'Mute
Group assign' mode.

Note: the VCA SEL buttons and the Mute Group master buttons are interlocking and the
type of Setup mode (Mute Group assign or VCA group assign) will be governed by the last button pressed.
Note: an input channel can be assigned to more than one Mute Group if required.

Using Mute groups

The eight user-definable buttons are configured as Mute Group masters 1 - 8. These can be used at any time
except when in Mute Group Assign mode (see above).
Any Mute Group Master that has inputs assigned to it will be illuminated white (when setup mode has been
completed and exited).
The Mute Group Master buttons illuminate red when activated.
Any associated input channel ON buttons illuminate red when a Mute Group master button is pressed.
