Aux Mono

This switch sums the left and right channels of the stereo aux mix bus output into a

monophonic signal. The aux return output is stereo when the button is gray and mono

when the button is lit.

Aux Mute

The aux mute switch stops the aux return’s signal from being routed to the monitor mix.

The aux return output is active when the button is gray and muted when the button is lit.

Note: Aux mute does not mute the aux cue sends.

Aux Fader

This is the master signal level control for the aux bus return to the main monitor mix. It

does not affect the aux bus return’s cue sends.

Aux Meter

The aux meter displays the signal level of the aux return after UAD plug-in processing

in the aux inserts. Depending on the state of the METERING option in the Display panel

within the Console Settings window, (either pre-fader or post-fader), this meter will dis-

play the aux bus output level routed into the monitor mix bus (post-fader/post-inserts), or

the level of the aux mix bus itself (pre-fader/post inserts).

Input Level Scale

The numerical labels represent digital signal levels. “0” represents 0 dBFS (digital full

scale, the maximum level before undesirable A/D clipping). If the level of the aux bus

exceeds 0 dBFS, the meter’s clip indicator illuminates. If clipping occurs, reduce the aux

sends from the input channels and/or the output gain(s) of UAD plug-in processing in the

aux inserts.

Peak Hold

The aux meters also have a peak hold feature, which “holds” signal peak values for a

speciﬁed period of time. The clip and peak hold times can be adjusted in the Display

panel within the Console Settings window.

Tip: When recording into a DAW, it’s typically best to keep metering set to pre-

fader so they accurately represent the signal level at the DAW inputs.
