Mute group
CL series consoles feature eight mute groups.
Mute groups enable you to use USER DEFINED keys [1]-[16] to mute or unmute multiple
channels in a single operation. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously.
Mute groups 1 - 8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of
channels can exist in the same group.
Assigning channels to mute groups
As with the DCA group, there are the following two ways to assign channels to mute groups.
• You can select a specific mute group first and then specify the channels to be assigned to
the group, or
• You can select a specific channel and then specify the mute group to which it should be
assigned.
 Selecting the channels that will belong to a specific mute group
NOTE
• You may assign a single channel to more than one mute group.
• The DCA/MUTE GROUP field of the OVERVIEW screen indicates the mute group(s) to which
each channel is assigned. Numbers that are lit red in the lower line of this field indicate the mute
groups to which that channel belongs.
• If the dimmer level is set to any level other than -∞ dB, these numbers will light orange.
For a channel for which the Mute Safe function (page 82) has been turned on, an “S” indicator
will light up green at the right end of the bottom row.
