auxes (auxiliary mixes)
Ten Aux buses are available for creating individual output mixes from the Input
channels of the Console.These mixes can be used for driving effects processors,
providing monitor mixes, creating broadcast or alternate sound reinforcement
mixes, or other special requirements.The Aux buses are fed from the 10 Aux Send
pots on the Mono Input channels, and from the 2 Aux Send pots on the Stereo
Inputs. Pre and Post switches are available for these send pots, along with internal
options to allow the user to configure the Aux mixes in a variety of ways.
Aux Master Level
This rotary pot is used to control the Aux output level. Nominal position is
at the “0” mark, with 10dB additional gain available above that point. When the
FADER-FLIP switch is depressed (located next to the 100mm fader), this rotary pot
will instead control the associated Group Output level, and the Aux Output level is
then controlled by the 100mm fader (See Fader Flip description on Pg 35 ).
Aux Monitoring
The following controls are used to check the signal level and status of the Aux
mix.These controls monitor the audio signal present at the rotary pot.
Normally, this is the Aux bus signal, but if the Fader-Flip switch is
depressed, these same controls will monitor the Group signal, and the
Aux bus will be monitored by the corresponding Fader-related con-
trols.
PK/Sig LED
The rotary pot is equipped with a bicolor LED that displays the Pre-level signal
with varying intensity green illumination, and also indicates impending bus over-
load (within 3dB of clipping) by turning red. Clipping is sensed both pre and post
level control, so even if the control is turned 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
rotary pot’s signal in the Console’s Solo system.When depressed, the post-fader,
post-mute signal sent to the Console’s Solo system (See Master section for
details on the Solo system functions).
