INPUTS
Direct outputs 1-6 may be used as line inputs 7-12, in which case the function -
ality of the PFL switches on the 664 changes. This is called 12-Channel mode.
i
Simultaneous PFL of multiple inputs is disabled in 12-Channel mode. Also, when
switching to 12-Channel mode, meter views are not automatically changed, so in-
puts 7-12 may not be visible. For more information, see Meter Views .
To enable 12-Channel mode:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Turn and press the Headphone encoder to select INPUTS > Input Mode > 12
Channel.
i
The INPUTS > Input Mode submenu is disabled when the CL-12 linear fader con -
troller is connected to the mixer.
While in 12-Channel mode, PFL soloing and access to Input Settings screens
are combined for each input (1-12), with each PFL switch applying to two
inputs. For instance, in 12-Channel mode, the first PFL switch on the far left of
front panel applies to inputs 1 and 7. The next applies to inputs 2 and 8, and
so forth. However, it is also possible to view each input’s Input Settings screen
without PFL.
