4.12 Aux Send Operation

The Aux Sends Section controls sourcing, muting and assignment of an Input module’s
Aux Sends.

Each Input module can feed eight Aux Buses via eight Aux Send level controls. The eight
Aux Send level controls are configured as four send pairs. Aux 1/2 is a Stereo send with
a Level Control and Pan Pot, Auxes 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 are Mono sends, each with its own
Level Control.

The four Aux Send pairs may be sourced pre or post the Channel and/or Mix path fader.
The source for Auxes 1/2 and 3/4 is selected by the upper set of Pre/Post and Mix/Chan
buttons; the source for Auxes 5/6 and 7/8 is selected by the lower Pre/Post Mix/Chan
buttons.

Auxes 1/2 and 7/8 each have an Aux ON button. 

4.12.1 Pre and Post

Pressing PRE sources an Aux Send from before the path’s fader. This is desirable when

using the Aux as a Cue Send for studio headphones or a pre-fader effects send. While
PRE is selected, a path’s fader levels have no effect on the levels heard in the
headphones.

Pressing a POST switch sources an Aux Send after the path’s fader and its associated
ON switch. This is desirable when using the Aux as an Effects Send where the effect
return should change level and mute with its source material.

Aux sends may be sourced from the Chan and Mix paths simultaneously. When the Aux
send is sourced from both paths, the Mix and Chan path signals are summed before
feeding the Aux controls.

The four PRE and POST buttons are normally interlocked. To assign from both paths
simultaneously, hold one path’s Pre or Post select button while pressing the other path’s
Pre or Post button.

Pre and Post may not be selected simultaneously on the same path. Different Pre and
Post sourcing may be selected on the Mix and Chan path selectors, however. For
example, Auxes 1 through 4 may be sourced from Pre Chan path and Post Mix path,
but not from the Pre and Post Mix path only.
