AUX RETURN SECTION
Each stereo aux return has stereo level and pan, 8 group
assign, mix assign, and In-place solo, and has active-balanced
left and right
¼
” TRS balanced inputs.
1. Stereo Aux Return Level
- This control is a dual rotary
potentiometer that simultaneously and equally adjusts both
the left and right channel levels. A return level setting of
approximately two to three o'clock will yield an adequate
level when matched with an effects unit that is properly
operated at a professional input/output level of +4dBu.
2. Mix Assign
- The Mix Assign switch, in conjunction with
the Pan/Balance control, allows an aux return channel to be
mixed to the left/right main output. A yellow LED on this
switch illuminates indicating that the Mix Assign has been
enabled.
3. Group Assign
- The two assign pushbutton switches, in
conjunction with the Pan/Balance Control, allows an aux
return to be assigned to any 4 subgroup pairs. A yellow LED
on this switch illuminates if either group assign switch is
pressed.
4. Assign Changeover Switch
- In the up position, the two
group Assign Switches [#3] will select groups 1-2 and 3-4.
When pressed, the two group Assign Switches will select
groups 5-6 and 7-8.
5. Pan/Balance Control
- This knob in conjunction with the group assign switches and mix
assign switch, allows the aux return channel to be assigned to any of the 4 sub-group pairs
or stereo mix respectively. When a stereo source is connected to an aux return channel, this
control acts as a left/right "balance" control. If a mono signal is plugged into the Left
(mono) input jack, then this control acts as a traditional assign "pan" for the selected group
assign switch and mix assign.
6. In-Place Solo Switch
- In-Place soloing allows you to isolate the stereo aux return while
maintaining its stereo perspective. The source of the solo signal is post (after) the channel's
level and pan controls. When a solo switch is pressed, any adjustment to the channel's level
control will be evident in the monitor and headphone playback. A red LED illuminates any
time its associated Solo Switch is depressed.
