2.4 AUX 1/2
Generally, the AUX 1/2 channel is used for the connection of an additional, external FX unit. De-
pending on the setting of the AUX 1/2 POST button, it is also possible to configure the bus for
monitoring purposes. Additionally the AUX 1/2 channels are available at the DIGITAL AUDIO IN-
TERFACE.
38 - AUX 1/2 SENDS
This output provides connection for an external FX unit or, when used for monitoring, a power
amplifier or active stage monitor speaker systems. Using the AUX 1/2 fader allows setting the out-
put level in a wide range up to +20 dBu. The AUX 1/2 SEND is designed in Ground Sensing tech-
nology to prevent the induction of external noise, even with long cables. Use balanced cables for
the connection of external components whenever it is possible.
39 - AUX POST
As already previously described, this switch allows determining whether Pre- or Post-Fader sig-
nals are present at the AUX 1/2 channel. The corresponding yellow LED signals when the switch
is engaged and all input channel AUX 1/2 controls are assigned post fader.
40 - MUTE
The MUTE button mutes the AUX output signal. PFL signals are not affected.
41 - PFL
Through this button you can route the pre AUX 1/2 fader signal to the headphones bus. The signal
is outputted for listening via the headphones output. The setting of the AUX 1/2 fader is not rel-
evant for the signal’s volume (Pre Fader Listen). The meter instrument in the master section is
simultaneously switched, so that the left LED-chain indicates the level of the actually chosen
channel (in dBu), leaving you with the opportunity for adjusting the level without routing it to the
AUX 1/2 SEND bus.
42 - AUX 1/2
FADER
This fader controls the summed audio signal at the AUX 1/2 SEND output. When used for moni-
toring, this fader lets you control the volume of the monitor system. When using the DIGITAL AU-
DIO INTERFACE for recording this fader also controls the volume of sent channels USB 3 or
USB 4. See page 21 for details about using the DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE.
2.5 MON 1/2
43 - MON 1/2 SOCKETS
OUTPUTS
This output provides connection for an power amplifier or active stage monitor speaker systems.
Using the MON 1/2 fader allows setting the output level in a wide range up to +20 dBu. The
MOUN 1/2 OUTPUTS – like any other XLR-type output on the CMS – is relay-switched to prevent
power-on noise when switching the mixer on or off. Use balanced cables for the connection of
external components whenever it is possible to prevent the induction of external noise.
INSERTS
The low impedance output of these stereo phone-type jacks for MON 1 and MON 2 with breaker
function is assigned to the tip (send) and the high impedance input (return) is assigned to the
ring of the connector. These jacks allow incorporating external third octave band or octave band
EQs, compressors, limiters, de-noisers, etc. into the MON channel. The insertion point is pre
MON faders. As well as with the inserts of the monaural input channels, different DIRECT OUT
functions can be accomplished. Please, also refer to the corresponding description on page 9.
