Stereo Input Channels in User-dened Input Fader Pages
Stereo paired channels are treated as if the two halves were separate mono channels,
as far as assigning the channels to User-dened Fader pages goes.
In other words it is not necessary to assign both sides of a stereo pair to a User page,
if you want to maximize the use of faders.
On Fixed Fader pages, two types of indicators are used at the bottom of the touch
screen to show that channels are paired, and how they are paired:
Vertical Horizontal
When you assign only one side of a Stereo pair of channels to a fader in a User-
dened Fader page, you will see a slightly different indication, as seen in the channel
strip on the right.
The two ‘gear wheels’ without any white line in the blue strip below the Pan display
indicates that this is one half of a paired channel (note the difference with the vertical
and horizontal indicators shown above). The other half of the pair may be adjacent to
this channel on the User page, or it may not be assigned at all on this User page.
It is important to remember however that not all parameters are linked when you create
paired channels – most of the input stage such as gain, trim, phase etc, plus the pan
controls are not linked, and so it will only be possible to adjust one side of these from
the User Fader page, if only one fader from the pair is assigned.
However, remember that all channels including any ‘dropped’ halves of stereo pairs are
always available in their original locations via the Fixed pages A/B/C or via the tempo-
rary right hand bay activated from the Input Meter screen.
