TALKBACK TO STUDIO button
Routes sound arriving at the in-panel Talkback
mic to the Studio outputs.
Note: Make sure the speakers that are connected to
the Studio Outs are located in another room to avoid
feedback when the TALKBACK TO STUDIO button is
depressed.
CLEAR SOLO button
Disengages all engaged solo buttons throughout
the entire console. This is especially convenient
considering sections may be soloed across multiple
fader banks.
SOLO LEVEL button
Assigns the V-Pot in the Studio/Solo section to
adjust the solo level being fed to the Control Room
outputs. Not applicable to mixdown solo (use L/R
fader to adjust mixdown solo level).
STUDIO LEVEL button
Assigns the V-Pot in the Studio/Solo section to
adjust the output level being fed to the Studio
monitor system.
TALKBACK LEVEL button
Assigns the V-Pot in the Studio/Solo section to
control the preamp level for the in-panel Talkback Mic.

COPY MIX TO CUE button
Pressing this causes all channel settings to be
copied to the channel V-Pots for the selected CUE
MIX 1 (Aux 9-10) or CUE MIX 2 (Aux 11-12). This is
a very quick way to copy the MASTER L-R mix,
including effects, to the phones output, which can
then be easily fine-tuned.

section to the Phones output. Solos are also routed
to the Phones output when Control Room is selected.
