5.1.2: FX RETURN CONTROLS
The stereo FX Return channel is fed from the output of the
console’s internal FX processor. It is a cut-down version of the
normal stereo channel, without trim, EQ, or Aux 3 send.
An example in use might be running a Reverb algorithm in the
processor. Each individual channel’s Aux 3/FX control will control
how much of that source is present in the reverberant field
generated by the processor; the FX return fader will then control
the level of that whole reverberant field in the mix.
FX send (though not the parallel Aux 3 sends) is always post-fade
so an input channel’s contribution to that reverberant field will be
proportional to that channel’s contribution to the main mix.
On the Signature 12 and 12MTK models you could create a
contribution exclusive to the reverb by not routing to the Master
left/right bus (MST).
BAL
Adjust stereo balance for this channel
Adjusts the relative levels of the left and right signals for this channel, effectively adjusting the left-right position
of the overall stereo image. For Signature 12 and 12MTK consoles the balance is also adjusted across Group 1 (left)
and 2 (right) when the channel is routed to GRP 1-2.
GRP 1-2
Route the channel output to Group 1 and 2 busses
Signature 12 and 12MTK only. The channel's PAN/BAL or BAL control determines the proportion of the signal
group pairs.
