Fader Strip Control
The console mixes its active sources (mono or stereo) to three stereo main buses:
PGM 1
to
3
, and two stereo
aux buses:
AUX 1
and
2
. The active sources are the ones assigned to the control surface fader strips, and so
the maximum number of mix inputs is determined by the console frame size.
Each fader strip provides the following controls:
1
Input Gain & Pan
Tap down on the rotary control to step through the available parameters,
and then turn to adjust the current value - the parameter name and value
appear briefly in the electronic display.
The available parameters vary depending on the type of source. For more
