Creating a Monitor Mix
Most sound reinforcement applications work best in mono, since so few members of
the audience are seated in the ideal spot to hear the balance of a stereo sound
system effectively. Also, a stereo sound system can be much more difficult to mix.
To configure the X2 mixer in order to achieve a mono mix:
1 Pan all of the Channels fully left (or fully right).
2 A mono mix will now be present at the Master L FADER (or the Master R
FADER, if all Channels were panned to the right).
Using Group Faders as Subgroups
The Groups are extremely useful in sound reinforcement work. A Group can be
used to control the overall level of several Channels with the movement of only one
fader. Here are two examples:
To control all the vocal mics from the Group 1 FADER:
1 Raise the selected Channel FADERS to the desired levels.
2 Unassign each of the selected Channels from the Master Faders by switching
their respective L-R buttons to the “Off” (up) position.
3 Now assign each of the selected Channels to Group 1 by switching the 1-2
button to its “On” (down) position.
4 Adjust the PAN control of each of the selected Channels so that it is fully Left.
5 Assign the Group to the Master FADERS by switching the ASSIGN LEFT and
ASSIGN RIGHT buttons to their “On” (down) position. The Group 1 FADER
will now control the selected Channels, and the combined signal will appear at
the Master FADERS along with the other Channels/Groups.
To control a stereo sub-mix of all the vocal mics from the Group 1 and 2
FADERS:
1 Raise the selected Channel FADERS to the desired levels and adjust the PAN
control to place the signal in a desirable position within the left-right panorama.
2 Unassign each of the selected Channels from the Master Faders by switching
their respective L-R buttons to the “Off” (up) position.
3 Now assign each of the selected Channels to Group 1 and 2 by switching the 1-2
button to its “On” (down) position.
4 Assign Group 1 to the Left Master FADER by switching the ASSIGN LEFT to its
