SENDS

These controls route the input channel signal to any one or
more Monitor busses and the associated Monitor Outputs, al-
lowing a number of completely different monitor mixes to be
created.  The sends are arranged as two groups of four (1-4
and 5-8) and both groups are normally fed after the channel
fader (POST FADE) and therefore follow any changes in fader
level.  Either group may be reconfigured with the feed before
the channel fader (PRE FADE) by changing internal links, and
details of this modification will be found under Selectable Op-
tions on page 25.  Any Monitor Sends configured as PRE
FADE will be unaffected by the input fader position.  All
sends are muted when the ON switch (see 10 below) is re-
leased, regardless of the Pre/Post setting.

10.   

ON

The ON switch routes the channel signal to the monitor sends,
and is positioned PRE FADER to mute all outputs from the re-
spective channel.  The associated LED is illuminated when the
switch is pressed, showing that the channel is active.

11. PFL/PEAK 

LED

When the PFL switch is pressed, the Pre-Fade signal is fed to
the headphones and wedge output, where it replaces the se-
lected source.  The PFL ACTIVE LED on the master section
illuminates to warn that the wedge/phones outputs and the
meter are now responding to the PFL selection and the PFL
LED on the input channel lights to identify the active channel.
This is a useful way of listening to any required input signal
without interrupting the monitor mixes, so that adjustments
