AUX SEND MASTERS
The
AUX SEND MASTERS
, as with all the
signal paths in the SR40•8, are fully equipped
with
LEVEL
,
MUTE
,
and
SOLO
controls. Using
the
FLIP
feature,
AUX SEND MASTERS
can be routed through the subgroups (
SUB
1
–
8
mixes)
circuitry instead, providing the
engineer with more control over these signals,
which exit via XLR jacks.
Be aware:
If the signal path of an
AUX
SEND MASTER
appears to have been mysteri-
ously replaced by its like-numbered subgroup,
it’s because that
AUX SEND MASTER
’s
FLIP
switch is engaged. Read on.

Each
AUX SEND MASTER
has a
FLIP
switch and an associated LED. The
FLIP
switch
removes an
AUX SEND MASTER
mix from its
dedicated
MUTE
and
LEVEL
controls and
diverts it to the like-numbered Subgroup
rout-
ing. The
FLIP
switch makes the SR40•8 an
ideal stage monitor console. A flipped
AUX
SEND MASTER
will have its own dedicated
100mm Fader,
AIR EQ
,
INSERT
, and balanced
XLR output. Meanwhile, a flipped
AUX SEND
MASTER
also diverts the Subgroup
signal to
the original
AUX SEND MASTER
controls and
TRS output. Confused? Try it this way:
This is the path of an
AUX SEND MASTER
signal with its
FLIP
switch disengaged (up):
Channel
AUX
level control,
AUX SEND MAS-
TER
mix,
AUX SEND MASTERS: LEVEL
,
AUX
SEND MASTERS: MUTE
,
and the signal exits
via the
AUX SEND
’s TRS jacks.
This is the path of a Subgroup
signal with
its associated
AUX SEND MASTER FLIP
switch
disengaged (up): Channel assignment and
PAN
controls, Subgroup mix, Subgroup
AIR
,
SUB INSERT
, Subgroup Fader, Subgroup
MUTE
,
and the signal exits via the
SUB OUT-
PUTS
XLR jacks.

and the signal exits
via the

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 10dB gain. These controls are useful
for riding the levels of
AUX SEND MASTERS
sent to the stage monitors. However, should
these mixes require a lot of riding, consider
engaging
FLIP
, as that will allow you to use
Faders instead of rotary controls.
