Operator Manual
Pre-fade aux 1-4 sends are sourced after the channel insert, mute and EQ, but before
the channel fader. As a result, the actual level sent to the aux bus is proportional to the
aux send control only.
Post-fade aux sends are sourced after the channel insert, mute, EQ and fader. As a
result, the actual level sent to the aux bus is proportional to the aux send control and
the channel fader.
Table 2: Typical uses of auxiliaries
Master outputs (mono and stereo)
There is an output connector and insert connector on the rear panel for each of the
mono, left and right master channels.
Master outputs on the rear panel
4 pre switch This is the aux global control bus master pre-fader switch,
which determines whether the aux contribution from the input channel is
pre-fader or post-fader.
5 aux c/o switch See “Group-aux changeover” on page 56
Application Pre-/Post-fade Reason
Stage monitors Pre-fade (post-EQ) The level in the monitor stays
constant, so that the engineer can
change the FOH level without
affecting the performer.
Effects sends Post-fade The level sent to the effects is
proportional to the fader level, so
the balance between wet
(processed) and dry (unprocessed)
sound stays the same, even when
the channel level is changed.
Mixed recording (for
the artist)
Post-fade (post-EQ) If the aux is set to unity, the FOH
mix is replicated on the aux
output. This includes EQ, but
excludes pan.
