Group monitoring features
Within this Group section, the 100mm fader is normally in the Group audio
path.This can be changed with the use of the Fader-Flip switch.When the
Fader-Flip switch is depressed, the corresponding Aux output is controlled by
the 100mm fader (the Group output is then controlled by the corresponding
Aux rotary pot). Since the actual signal at the fader can be either the Group
OR Aux mix, the Pk/Sig LED and AFL switches will monitor whichever signal is
at the fader. In the following text, the uppercase FADER represents this signal.
NOTE:These following controls are ALWAYS fed from the Group audio signal,
the Fader-Flip switch does not affect their function.
Matrix Sends M1 & M2:Always fed from post-level/post-mute Group audio, or in
PRE position, from the post-insert/pre-level/pre-mute Group audio.
Group Pan: Always fed from the post-level/post-mute Group audio.
Bus Assignment Mono & L-R: Always fed from the post-level/post-mute Group
audio.

PK/Sig LED
The FADER is equipped with a bicolor LED that displays the Pre-fader signal
level with varying intensity green illumination, and also indicates impending
group overload (within 3dB of clipping) by turning red. Group clipping is sensed
both pre and post fader, so even if the fader is down, you will be informed of
any bus-related overload problems.
AFL
An AFL (After-Fader Listen) switch is provided that lets the operator monitor
the FADER’s signal in the Console’s Solo system.When depressed, the FADER’s
post-fader, post-mute signal sent to the Console’s Solo system (See Master sec-
tion for details on the Solo system functions).

NOTE:
Do not write directly
on the Console’s surface
with a Sharpie or other per-
manent marker. Use a china-
marker (grease pencil) or
other removable marking
pencil, or put down a strip of
Artist tape first. Avoid using
standard masking tape; it
dries out and leaves a hard-
to-remove glue residue.
