Group send/returns
There are eight mono Group Sends and Returns on the
Series 75 Console. All buttons are recallable.
The eight Groups have each been built as a hybrid
Retro/Modern assembly. A Retro Output Stage appears
before the DAW/Insert Return, after which the circuitry is
transformerless.
Each Group can take its input from two places.
»
Individual Channels, which can be routed
using the Assign Section (Retro).
»
Or your DAW, by selecting DAW
directly above the fader (Modern).
The DAW button may act as a Group Insert enable if
you have connected Group Out/Ins Send and DAW/Ins
Return to and from outboard gear or a patch bay.
The output of the eight Groups are available at the Local
Mix Bus (which feeds both Retro and Modern Mix Outs),
Group Out/Ins Send (pre-fader), and the Stem Outputs
(post-fader).
GrOuP senD TrIMs - These attenuate the summed
signals routed to the Group, pre-fader. Generally these
should be left at 0dB, however can be attenuated to -∞.
Practical application may be backing off the level at the
Group Out/Ins Send, ie, the input to your outboard gear if
using Group Inserts.
Pan - Allows the mono Group signal to be panned across
the Retro and Modern Mix Outs.
Daw - Switches the Group input to the DAW/Ins Return
signal. Depending on how you have connected the
console, this will either:
»
Switch the input of the Group Faders to
connected DAW outputs and override any
currently assigned Channels to that Group, or
»
Activate the Group Insert Return of which
the send is Group Out/Ins Send.
IsO - Solo Isolates the Group, resulting in the Group not
being Cut when another Channel or Group is Soloed.
This is very useful when routing multiple Channels to
a Group, then soloing individual Channels within that
Group.
sOlO - Depending on which Solo Mode is selected in the
Control Room Section, the Channel output will be:
»
Fed to either the AFL or PFL Solo Bus
»
Soloed while all other Channels are Cut (SIP)
»
Fed to the AFL Bus along with the Main
Mix which is padded 10dB (SIF)
CuT - Cuts the Group signal (post Stem Out, pre Local
Mix Bus).
»
NOTE: When 7.1 is selected in the Control Room
Section, the 7.1 Input feeds the ALT 2 Speaker
Outputs (see Connections). When this is active,
the Cuts and Solos above the Group Faders will
effect the individual ALT2 Speaker Outputs.
stem Outputs - These post-fader Group Outputs are
always active and allow subgroups within the mix to
be easily recorded back into the DAW (stems). A Retro
Output Stage at the Group Output effect any grouped
Channels, hence Channel signals at the Stem Outputs
will be sonically coloured.
