AUX 5 and 6 are derived
after
the EQ and channel fader (POST FADE, POST EQ),
and therefore follow any changes in fader level. They are normally used to drive effects
processing units which are fed back into the mixer and which must fade out with the
input channel.
All of the post-fade Aux Sends are muted when the MUTE switch is pressed.

PAN
The PAN control determines the position of the signal within the stereo mix image or
may be used to route the channel signal to particular output GROUPS as selected by the
ROUTING SWITCHES (see below). Rotation fully anticlockwise feeds the signal solely
to the Left mix buss or Groups 1, 3, 5 and 7, while rotation clockwise sweeps the image
to the Right buss or Groups 2, 4, 6 and 8.
9 ROUTING
SWITCHES
The input channel signal may be routed to the main Stereo MIX (L-R) or pairs of
GROUP busses (1-2, 3-4 etc.), by pressing the respective switches. These may be used
in conjunction with the PAN control (8 above) to route the channel signal proportionate-
ly to any of the selected busses.
10
FADER
This 100mm long-throw fader determines the proportion of the channel in the mix
and provides a clear visual indication of channel level. Normal operating position is at the
`0 mark, providing 10dB of gain above that point if required.
11
MUTING
All outputs from the channel except Inserts may be muted by pressing the MUTE
switch, and the associated LED illuminates to show that the channel is OFF.
Alternatively the channel may be selected to any one or more MUTE BUSES to pro-
vide grouped muting under the control of the MUTE masters on the far right-hand side
of the console. In either case the mute status is shown by the LED.

PFL/PEAK
PFL
When the PFL switch is pressed, the Pre-Fade signal is fed to the headphones and L
& R meters, where it replaces the normal Mix L/R signal (the main Mix L/R output is
unaffected). The PFL/AFL ON LED on the master section illuminates to warn that the
headphones and the meters are now responding to the PFL/AFL selection and the PFL
LED on the input channel lights to identify the active channel. This is a useful way of lis-
tening to any required input signal without interrupting the main mix, for making adjust-
ments or tracing problems.
PEAK
When the PFL switch is released the LED on the channel serves as a PEAK indicator,
to warn when an excessively high signal level is present in the channel. The signal is
sampled at three points in the channel, immediately after the Hi-Pass Filter (Pre Insert),
PRE EQ and POST EQ. The Peak LED will illuminate approximately 4dB before clipping
and therefore give warning of a possible overload even if the peaks are removed by
external equipment plugged into the Insert.
