The GROUP MASTERS switch routes the Aux Return’s signal to the pair of Group
FADERS directly below the Aux Return (example: pressing the GROUP MASTERS
switch on Aux B of the first Group module would route that signal to Groups 1 and
2.). Remember that the STEREO SEPARATION and BALANCE knobs have an effect
on the assignment.
L-R Button
The L-R button routes the Aux Return’s signal to the Master L-R FADERS,
depending on the settings of the STEREO SEPARATION and BALANCE knobs.
SOLO Button
The SOLO sends the Aux Return’s post-fader signal (and only that Monitor’s signal,
if no other SOLO buttons are pressed) directly to the Control Room monitors,
cutting off any other signals to the Control Room. It allows the engineer to hear the
signal before bringing it into the mix, for cueing purposes. When SOLO is pressed,
its LED will light. The master SOLO LED will light in the Master module section, to
alert you that Solo is active. You can adjust the output level of the signal(s) being
soloed by turning the SOLO knob in the Master module section.
MUTE Button
The MUTE button completely disconnects the Aux Return’s signal from the Master
outputs and Groups. When pressed, the MUTE button’s LED will light. When
pressed, the MUTE button’s LED will light. This can be controlled via the Dynamic
Mute Automation system, which gives it other functions as well (see Chapter 5).
Group Master Controls
ASSIGN LEFT
The ASSIGN LEFT button sends the Group’s signal to the left side only of the
Master L-R mix. This is useful when sub-grouping in a final mix, or for live sound
reinforcement applications.
ASSIGN RIGHT
The ASSIGN RIGHT button sends the Group’s signal to the right side only of the
Master L-R mix. If using an odd/even pair of Groups to create a stereo sub-mix,
assign the odd-numbered Group left, and the even-numbered Group right.
PFL (Pre-Fader-Listen) Button
The PFL button sends the Group Master’s pre-fader signal (and only that Group
Master’s signal, if no other SOLO buttons are pressed) directly to the Control Room
monitors, cutting off any other signals to the Control Room. It allows the engineer to
hear the signal before bringing it into the mix, for cueing purposes. When PFL is
pressed, its LED will light. The master SOLO LED will light in the Master module
section, to alert you that Solo is active. You can adjust the output level of the
signal(s) being soloed by turning the SOLO knob in the Master module section.
