3.2.4 Aux Sends
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.
■
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 the
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 Pre and Post the Mix path only.
