Soundcraft EFX/EPM User Guide Issue 1210
7 Aux 2 Send (EPM only)
This is used to set up a separate mix for FOLDBACK or recording, and the
combination of each Aux Send is mixed to the Aux 2 Output. For record-
ing it is useful for the signal to fade up and down with the fader (this is
called POST-FADE), but for Foldback or Monitor feeds it is important for
the send to be independent of the fader (this is called PRE-FADE).
AUX 2 SEND is globally switchable between pre and post-fade (see master
section on page 24/25).
8 PAN
This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and
Right MIX buses, allowing you to move the source smoothly across the
stereo image. When the control is turned fully left or right you are able
to route the signal at unity gain to either left or right outputs individually.
9 MUTE
All outputs from the channel except inserts are on when the MUTE switch
is released and muted when the switch is down, allowing levels to be
pre-set before the signal is required.
10 INPUT CHANNEL FADER
The 60mm FADER, with a custom-designed law to give even smoother
control of the overall signal level in the channel strip, allows precise bal-
ancing of the various source signals being mixed to the Master Section.
You get most control when the input GAIN is set up correctly, giving full
travel on the fader. See the “Initial Setup” section on page 36 for help
in setting a suitable signal level.
11 PFL
When the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade pre-mute signal is
fed to the headphones, control room output and meters, where it replaces
the MIX. The PFL ACTIVE LED on the Master section illuminates to warn
that a PFL is active. This is a useful way of listening to any required input
signal without interrupting the main mix, for making adjustments or trac-
ing problems. When PFL is pressed anywhere on the console, the Control
Room outputs automatically switch from monitoring the Mix Outputs.
12 PEAK LED
This LED will light when the signal level approaches clipping at any of the
three monitored points:
a) PRE-EQ
b) POST-EQ
c) POST-FADE
