Master Section

SUB GROUPS (GB2R 12-2 Only)

There are two Sub groups. They are arranged as a stereo pair.
Each Sub fader (1) is placed after its Sub insert point (on the rear panel). The
faders control the signal levels which are then fed to the Sub Output XLRs on
the rear connector panel.
The MONO switch (2) creates a mono sum of the sub left and sub right signals.
Each post-fader group signal pair can be routed to the main mix stereo pair via
the MIX switch (3).

AUX MASTERS

Each AUX master level pot (4) controls the level fed from its own aux bus to its
aux output.
Aux outputs 1-4 are balanced via XLR connectors, aux 5 and 6 outputs are
balanced via 3-pole 1/4” jack sockets on the rear connector panel.
Each AFL button (5) feeds its aux post-fader signal to the monitor output and
phones output.

Mix L, R and Mono Outputs

Each of the 2 main mix busses, Left and Right, has its own insert point. These
are located on the rear connector panel. Each main mix bus has a Fader (6)
which follows the insert point in its signal path.
The post-fader signal for each bus is then routed to the following places:

• its main output XLR on the rear connector panel,
• the REC output sockets on the rear connector panel,
• the MONITOR SOURCE select switch MIX (7).

A mono sum of the L & R outputs is available on the MONO output XLR on the
rear connector panel.

Record Outputs

The REC outputs are via a stereo pair of RCA phono sockets on the rear con-
nector. They carry the same signals as the Mix L and Mix R outputs.

Monitoring & PFL/AFL

The monitor section feeds the Monitor L & R outputs (3-pole 1/4” balanced
jack sockets on the rear connector panel) and the headphones output (8).
The sources for the monitor section are:

• the 2-track input (9), its volume is controlled by the 2-TRK LEVEL
control (10),
•the sub groups (11)(GB2R 12-2 only), and
• the main mix (7).

Any or all of these sources may be selected at any one time. The monitor
signals (L & R) are passed to the monitor L & R outputs via the C/ROOM level
pot (12), and to the headphones socket via the H/PHONES pot (13). The
monitor L & R signals can be mono summed using the MONO switch (14).
The L & R 12-segment meters (15) indicate the level of the monitored signal,
as selected by the monitor source select switches.
When any PFL or AFL button is pressed the meters display the pfl/afl signal
