Chapter 13: Muting
You can interrupt (mute) the output signal of a channel. This is generally used for
backstage mics, guitar switch over etc. Channel mutes can be activated by any of the
following, which (except the VCAs) mute the channel outputs and update the channel
mute status indicator:
• Local MUTE button press.
• Auto-mutes (mute groups/control groups) — see “Auto-mute (mute) groups” on
page 161.
• VCAs — see “VCA and POP groups” on page 157.
• Scene recall (automation) — see Chapter 30 "Automation" on page 391.
• SIP — see “Solo in place (SIP)” on page 121.
To see which outputs are affected by channel muting, refer to Appendix 2 “Functional
Block Diagrams”.
Figure 17: Control methods, interactions and corresponding states of channel mute
Note: In Figure 17, all of the transitions between states, with the exception of State 1
to State 0 “If not SIP muted”, are events. The “If not SIP muted” transition is not an
event, it happens as soon as the indicated test condition (“If not SIP muted”) is true.
Also, “Mute on” and “Mute off” refer to mute activations and deactivations using the
local
MUTE button press method; SIP mutes only apply to input channels (the “If not
SIP muted” exit condition from State 1 is always true for other channel types). An
“auto-mute on” and “auto-mute off” are achievable in several different ways.
