Working with Stereo Group Busses
When configured as stereo busses, Groups can operate in the
following modes:
Simple Mode
In Simple Mode, all 8 Group busses function only as true ste-
reo busses.
Expert Mode
In Expert Mode, any of the 8 stereo Group busses can be set to
act as true stereo or as dual mono busses, on a per channel ba-
sis.
To set the link status of individual stereo Group busses for a
channel (Expert Mode only):

want to route to a Group bus. To select multiple channels, use
the Multi-Select switch next to the input faders.

The switch flashes yellow to indicate bus link mode.

Press the flashing Stereo Pan switch to confirm the bus link
status for the selected channels.
To use dual mono Group busses (Expert Mode only):
