Monitor Level
This
LEVEL
knob controls the volume of your Studio
monitors.
SOLO Section
This section contains controls for the mixer’s Solo
function. Pressing the
SOLO
key on the Master
Fader engages the solo mode for the Channel Strip’s
MUTE
keys.
MODE Select
The
MODE
key lets you choose
how the SX-1's solo function will operate. There are
three options:
<PRE-FADER>
When the
<PRE- FADER>
LED is
illuminated, the Pre-Fader solo feature is engaged.
This lets you solo a source at its input, before it
reaches a channel’s gain stages. The pre-fader output
is sent out of the Solo buss.
<IN-PLACE>
When the
<IN-PLACE>
LED is on, the
In-Place solo feature is engaged. This feature allows
a soloed signal to retain the same settings as heard in
the main mix (this is accomplished by muting every-
thing going to the Master L/R buss except the soloed
channel).
<USER-DEFINED>
In operating system (OS) Ver-
sion 1.0. when the
<USER-DEFINED>
LED is on,
the solo mode monitors signal directly after the fader
(After Fader Level). Signal is fed to the Solo buss
without effects. In future OS revisions, the User-
Defined feature will be expanded to include a num-
ber of enhancements.
Solo LEVEL
This [level] knob controls the level of
the Solo buss, and hence the volume of the Solo out-
put in PFL and AFL modes (pre-fader and after-fader
levels).

the two separate headphone outputs found on the SX-
1’s top panel.
