2.4.8 Subgroups and Main Mix fader
Fig. 2.17: Subgroups section
In a recording situation, the inputs of a multi-track recorder are fed with signals from the Subgroup outputs
. The 4 Subgroups, in turn, can be fed by the Main input channels and the Aux Return buses. In this way,
you can also record effect signals. The faders
control the level of the signals routed to each Subgroup,
while the MAIN MIX button
sends the signal routed to a Subgroup back to the Main Mix bus. Use the PAN
control
to determine the signals position in the Main Mix stereo field. When the MAIN Mix button is up,
the PAN control has no influence on the Subgroup signals.
In live applications, Subgroups are often used to combine various groups of instruments and control their
volume with one or two (stereo mode) faders. The Subgroups insert points allow for processing multiple
signals with just one device (e.g. Compressor). The SOLO button
and its associated control LED enable
you to monitor each of the 4 Subgroups individually.
The MAIN MIX fader
determines the level that is sent to the MAIN OUTPUTS, which are available both on
¼" phone jacks
and XLR connectors
. The MX3242X also routes the MAIN MIX signal to the
2-TRACK-OUT cinch jacks
.
