auxes (auxiliary mixes)
Ten Aux buses are available for creating individual output mixes from the Input chan-
nels of the Console. These mixes can be used for driving effects processors, provid-
ing monitor mixes, creating broadcast or alternate sound reinforcement mixes, or
other special requirements. The Aux buses are fed from the Aux Send controls on
the Mono Inputs, Stereo Inputs, Stereo Returns and the Ambience Input. Pre and
Post switches are available for these send pots, along with internal options to allow
the user to configure the Aux mixes in a variety of ways.
aux master level
This rotary pot is used to control the Aux output level. Nominal position is at the
“0” mark, with 10dB additional gain available above that point. When the FADER-
REVERSE switch is depressed (located next to the 100mm fader), this rotary pot will
instead control the associated Group Output level, and the Aux Output level is then
controlled by the 100mm fader (see Fader Reverse description on Pg 36).
aux monitoring
The following controls are used to check the signal level and status of the Aux mix.
These controls monitor the audio signal present at the rotary pot.
Normally, this is the Aux bus signal, but if the FaderReverse switch is
depressed, these same controls will monitor the Group signal, and the Aux
bus will be monitored by the corresponding Fader-related controls.
PK/Sig LED
A bicolor LED displays the Pre-level signal with varying intensity green illumination,
and also indicates impending bus overload (within 3dB of clipping) by turning red.
Clipping is sensed both pre- and post- level control, so even if the control is turned
down, you will be informed of any bus-related overload problems.
AFL
An AFL (After-Fader Listen) switch is provided that lets the operator monitor the
signal in the console’s Solo system. When depressed, the post-fader, post-mute signal
is sent to the console’s Solo system (see Master section for details on the Solo sys-
tem functions).
