The GROUP / AUX Masters

AUX MASTERS

Each aux mix has a master level control that

adjusts the output level to match external equipment, or trims the

monitor, effect or other send without affecting the mix balance. Up to

+10dB boost is available above the normal 0dB position.

AUX AFL Press AFL to listen to the post-level aux mix in the

headphones and local monitor without affecting the main outputs.

Note that this becomes the group mix in monitor mode. The console

main meters are interrupted with the aux (group) signal. The yellow

indicator lights to show that AFL has been selected on the master.

Use AFL to check the signal being sent to the monitors, effects or other

destination.

REV These switches reverse the function of the group and aux

masters. They are recessed to prevent accidental operation. Use a

pen or pointed object to set their position. In the up position (flush with

the panel), the group is controlled by the fader and the aux by the

rotary master. This is typical for FOH mode

where the faders are used

for subgroups feeding the main stereo mix. When pressed, the aux

uses the fader as the master and the group is moved to the rotary

control. The aux mix is now presented to rear Group XLR complete

with insert. The group mix appears at the Aux TRS jack. This is used

for monitor mode

where the auxes are the main mix feeding the stage

monitors. You can select any combination for the FOH and monitor

mode, for example, just 3, 4 giving you two fader subgroups, two

monitor sends on faders, and main LR mix.

Note: The groups always feed the matrix and the subgroup controls

(PAN and GRP TO LR) regardless of mode. This means the group

mix can still perform a useful function when the console is configured

in monitor mode.

PAN Positions the group signal between L an R in the stereo mix

when the GRP TO LR switch is pressed. Using pan you can create

mono or stereo groups positioned as you require in the main mix. For

stereo grouping, set the odd group pan fully to the left, and the even

group pan fully to the right. The centre position (mono image) is

detented for quick resetting. Note that the group mix always feeds

these subgroup controls regardless of FOH or monitor mode selected.

METER A 4 LED bar meter displays the post-fade group signal

(FOH mode), or aux signal (monitor mode, REV pressed).

MUTE When pressed the group (aux) signal is turned off. This

affects the feed to the output XLR, LR and matrix. The red indicator

lights when the channel is muted.

GROUP AFL Press AFL to listen to the post-fade group mix in the

headphones and local monitor without affecting the main outputs.

Note that this becomes the aux mix in monitor mode. The console

main meters are interrupted with the group (aux) signal. The yellow

indicator lights to show that AFL has been selected on that master.

GROUP FADER Controls the group mix output level. Note that it

becomes the aux mix master in monitor mode (REV pressed). The

fader provides +10dB maximum boost above its normal unity gain 0dB

position.
