MIX & GROUPS 1-8
The input channel signal is routed to the main STEREO
mix (MIX) or to the GROUPS as stereo pairs (1-2, 3-4, 5-
6, 7-8) as selected by these switches.
17.
CHANNEL FADER
This long-throw fader determines the proportion of the
channel in the mix and provides a clear visual indica-
tion of channel level. Normal operating position is at
the 0 mark, providing 10dB of gain above that point if
required.

TAPE SEND & RETURN
The TAPE SEND is normally fed from one of the 8
GROUP outputs. These are repeated across each 8
channels, e.g. Group 1 feeds Tape Sends 1,9,17 and
Group 2 feeds Tape Sends 2,10,18 etc. When the DI-
RECT switch (8) is pressed the Tape Send receives
only that channel output instead.
The electronically balanced TAPE RETURN is the nor-
mal input to the MONITOR path but is swapped to the
Channel path when CHANMNTR INPUT REV (7) is
pressed.
19.
TAPE TRIM
This centre-detented control provides -10dB to +20dB
of gain trim on the Tape Return input. Note that the
centre-detented position is the line-up point for +4dBu
type Tape Machines. For matching -10dBV machines
the control will need to be reset to about the 3 oclock
position.
20.
AUXILIARY SENDS (see 12 above)
The MONITOR path normally has a pre-fade Foldback
(FB2) send, and two post-fade Auxiliary sends (AUX
3,4) as described for the Channel path. AUX 3 & 4 may
be switched to the Channel path by the CHAN switch if
required.
