ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX RIGHT on subgroup 2. Now 
you can ride the entire drum mix with two faders—
subgroups 1 and 2.

If you engage just one SUB ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX 

button per subgroup (LEFT or RIGHT), the signal 
sent to the MAIN MIX will be the same level as the 
SUB OUTS. If you want the subgroup to appear in 
the center of the main mix, engage both the SUB 
ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX LEFT and RIGHT buttons. 
The signal will be sent to both sides.

42. MAIN MIX Faders

This controls the fi nal level of main mix signals 

sent to the MAIN [52] outputs, TAPE [49] outputs, 
CONTROL ROOM [55], PHONES [50], and METERS 
[27]. So it all comes down to this one control.

Typically, the faders will be positioned somewhere 

between 0 dB (

U

) and the +5 dB position. 

All active mono and stereo channels that are not 

turned down or muted will appear in the main mix 
(the L-R Assign button [19] must be engaged on 
the Mix.260FX). Other signals feeding this control 
include the STEREO AUX and FX RETURNS [46/47], 
and CD/TAPE IN [49] when TAPE TO MAIN [24] is 
pushed in.

43. POWER LED

This LED turns on when the mixer’s power cord 

is plugged into an AC outlet and the POWER [57] 
switch on the rear panel is turned on.

44. PHANTOM 48V LED

This LED turns on when the mixer’s PHANTOM 

Power [58] switch on the rear panel is turned on.

FRONT PANEL CONNECTORS

45. AUX SEND OUT 1 and 2

Connect these 1/4" TRS outputs to the inputs 

of an external eff ects processor or stage monitor 
amplifi er.

Each channel strip has an AUX SEND 1 MON [11] 

and AUX SEND 2 FX [13] control knob that adjusts 
how much of that channel’s signal appears at each 
of these outputs. The output from these jacks is the 
sum of all those active channels that have their AUX 
SEND knobs set to more than the minimum position.
