19. Stereo Effects Return
Mono Switch
Depressing this switch sums the left and right effects inputs creating a
mono composite. This feature will prove useful if a stereo effect is to be
assigned to a single subgroup or specifically placed somewhere in the
left to right perspective of a stereo subgroup.
When the Subgroup Assign Changeover Switch (see below) is in the up
position, then pressing the 1-2/5-6 Assign Switch routes the effects
return signal to the 1-2 subgroup pair. When the Subgroup Assign
Changeover Switch is in the down position, pressing the 1-2/5-6 Assign
Switch routes the effects return signal to the 5-6 subgroup pair.
In the up position, all signal flow to the 1-2 or 5-6 subgroups is
“Muted”.
When the Subgroup Assign Changeover Switch (see below) is in the up
position, then pressing the 3-4/7-8 Assign Switch routes the effects
return signal to the 3-4 subgroup pair. When the Subgroup Assign
Changeover Switch is in the down position, pressing the 3-4/7-8 Assign
Switch routes the effects return signal to the 7-8 subgroup pair.
In the up position, all signal flow to the 3-4 or 7-8 subgroups is
“Muted”.
In the up position the Subgroup Assign Switches will select subgroups
1 thru 4. When depressed the Subgroup Assign Switches will select
subgroups 5 thru 8.
Depressing this switch allows you to isolate any effect return to the
Monitor and/or Headphone outputs while maintaining stereo
perspective. The source for the In-Place solo circuit is post (after) the
volume control. This allows you to solo multiple effects returns while
retaining their relative levels.
There are two types of In-Place solo incorporated into the Xtramix:
Absolute and True. The stereo effect return solos are True In-Place.
This means that the left/right perspective of a soloed effects return will
be affected by the position of the effects return Balance/Pan control.
Additionally, if a stereo effects device is connected to a return being
operated in the stereo mode, then soloing that channel yields a stereo
solo signal. If the return is set to operate in mono, then soloing that
channel will yield a mono solo signal.
The solo listening level can be controlled by either adjusting the Effects
Return Level Control, the Master Monitor or Headphone level, although
adjusting the Master Monitor or Headphone level will not affect any
relative balance created with the Return Level Control
This red LED illuminates any time its associated Effects Return Solo
Switch is depressed.
