“B” AUX RETURNS AND
TAPE RETURNS
The four
“B” AUX RETURNS
and the two
TAPE RETURNS
are basically the same, but
with different input hardware
. They’re
your basic, no-frills, stereo Channels.
AUX
RETURNS B1
,
B2
,
B3
,
TAPE A
and
TAPE B
are
dedicated to the
LEFT/RIGHT
mix, and
AUX
RETURN B4
is dedicated to the
CENTER
mix.
Equipped with
LEVEL
,
MUTE
and
SOLO
con-
trols, they’re perfect for getting reverb and
delay signals to the main mixes. If you need to
send these signals to the monitors (via
AUX
SENDS
) or to the
SUBS
, patch them into the
MAIN AUX RETURNS
(A1–A4
)
instead.

The signal is off with the rotary
LEVEL
con-
trol turned fully counterclockwise, unity gain
is at the center “
U
” detent, and turned fully up
provides 15dB gain.

(
AUX RETURN B4
).
Muting removes the signal from the dedi-
cated
LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER
mixes and
AFL
SOLO
. The
PFL SOLO
and
PFL
Meter paths
will not be affected. The signal is muted with
the switch engaged (down).
“B” AUX
RETURNS
and
TAPE A
and
TAPE B
do not
have momentary
MUTE
switches or associated
LEDs and are not controllable via
ULTRA
MUTE
™
.

AFL Point Before:

.
AFL Point After:

(

Faders)
AFL
mix (stereo).
SOLO
allows you to audition signals through
your headphones without having to assign
them to any of the
LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER
mixes
or subgroups (
SUB 1
–
8
mixes)
.
You can simultaneously
SOLO
as many signals
as you like. The SR40•8 features nondestruc-
tive solo: Engaging
SOLO
does not interrupt
any of the other Channels, buses or outputs.
Not only that, the
SOLO
system comes in two
flavors:
PFL
(Pre-Fader Listen) and
AFL
(After-Fader Listen, Solo-In-Place).
Remember:
AUX SENDS SOLO
has prece-
dence over
AUX RETURNS SOLO
— you can’t
combine these signals.
