Soundcraft EFX/EPM User Guide Issue 1210
5 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). The send pot is fed with a mono sum
of the L & R signals.
6 BALANCE
This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and
Right MIX buses, allowing you to balance the source in the stereo image.
When the control is turned fully right or left you feed only that side of
the signal to the mix. Unity gain is provided by the control in the centre-
detented position.
7 MUTE
All outputs from the channel are enabled when the MUTE switch is released
and muted when the switch is down.
8 FADER
The 60mm FADER gives you smooth control of the overall signal level in
the channel strip, allowing precise balancing of the various source signals
being mixed to the Master Section. It is important that the input level is
set correctly to give maximum travel on the fader which should normally
be used at around the “0” mark. See the “Initial Setup” section on page
36 for help in setting the right level.
9 PFL
When the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade pre-mute signal
is fed in mono to the headphones, control room output and meters,
where it replaces the MIX. The PFL ACTIVE LED on the Master section il-
luminates to warn that a PFL is active. The Left and Right meters display
the PFL signal in mono. This is a useful way of listening to any required
input signal without interrupting the main mix, for making adjustments
or tracing problems.
10 CHANNEL 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
