52. GROUPS ASSIGN TO MAIN
One popular use of the subgroups is to use them as master
faders for a group of channels on their way to the the main mix
MAIN L+R. Let us say if you have a drum kit hogging up seven
channels and you are going to want to fade them out at a
different rate than other channels. You do not want to try that
with seven hands or seven fingers, so just un-assign these
channels from the main mix (channel MAIN button not
pressed), reassign them to subgroups 1-2 (channel 1-2 button
pressed), engage the GRP ASSIGN TO MAIN – left on
GROUP 1, right on GROUP 2. Now you can ride the entire
stereo drum mix with GROUP 1 and GROUP 2 master faders.
53. MAIN LR MASTER FADERS
Separate 100mm smooth travel VCA fader with protective dust
cover. The fader provides +10dB maximum boost above its
normal unity gain 0dB position.
54. M MASTER FADER
A 100mm smooth travel VCA fader with protective dust cover.
The fader provides +10dB maximum boost above its normal
unity gain 0dB position.
The M output adds a true touch of genius to the versatility of
the mixer. The source is selected using the two switches on
the
M SOURCE
segment.
FOH MODE – With both switches
PFL/AFL (55.)
and
L/R
AUX6 (56.)
at the
M SOURCE
segment in the up position, the
post-fade MAIN L and R mix are summed together to provide
a mono source at the M output. Use this to feed a mono audio
system, fill, delay or zone speakers, or even a mono broadcast
or recording send.
MONITOR MODE – Press the upper switch
PFL/AFL (55.)
to
create an engineer's monitor listen wedge feed from the
PFL/AFL mix. Note that in this mode, the M AFL switch
(57.)
is
disabled. It is common to use a wedge speaker of the same
type used on stage to listen to and check the various monitor
mixes being sent to the performers.
AUX-FED-SUBS MODE – Press only the lower switch
L/R
AUX6 (56.)
to configure M as the master for AUX 6. This
innovative feature is ideal when driving your sub bass
speakers with their own mix fed from an aux, a technique
becoming popular in FOH mixing. This mode provides all the
main sound system masters (MAIN L/R, subwoofer) with
faders, meters, AFL, and MUTE.
