In a business presentation, you
might have one person giving a
speech, and then three micro-
phones being passed around in
the audience for questions.
And in a church service, mute
groups are invaluable. Set up
one for Pastor Sermon, one
for Praise Band, another for
Choir and Soloist, and one for
Pastor+Choir+Praise Band for
hymns.
Pushing just one
MUTE GROUP
button is far easier for a vol-
unteer than sorting out which
channels to un-mute.
Since you can store up to
unique Mute Groups as part of
Global Settings, you can have
"Mute Groups for any occasion".
"Hard muting".
This is a name for when you
just directly mute a channel. The
Mute indicator for that channel
turns red.
Creating a Mute Group.
Press and hold a MUTE
GROUP button (A through
D) until it starts blinking.
Mute the channels you want
in the Mute Group. Each
channel indicator will blink
orange after you press it.
Press the designated MUTE
GROUP button. It will turn
off.
The Mute Group is now
programmed. At any time,
just press the
MUTE GROUP
button and all of those
channels will be muted
— with orange indicator
lights.
Hard muting:
pick a channel;
press the MUTE button.
Bask in the warm red glow.
The Mute Group is now ready.
Pick the channels you want to
have in the Mute Group.
