Solo system controls on the control surface and GUI
solo in place switch
The solo in place (SIP) switch puts the
control centre in SIP mode. In this mode,
pressing a SOLO button in an input fast
strip activates a mute of all other channels
by temporarily overriding the primary
source selection, assuming it is set to the
appropriate monitor (A or B); talk back
remains unaffected.
When SIP is switched on, all unsoloed inputs are muted, except the auto-mutes. With
SIP in operation, pressing a SOLO button in a VCA section (for a group) solos all group
members, while muting non-group members. When SIP is switched off, any solos are
kept active but the mutes are removed (except the ones with auto selected, which are
left alone).
As this is an important function that may have detrimental consequences, the button on
the control surface is protected by a plastic cover to prevent it being inadvertently
switched on/off.
You can protect a channel from this function by switching on its mute safe (see “Safes”
on page 285).
