B
ASSIGNABLE SENDS
These balanced
1/4” jacks (–2dBu) are used either as insert sends for
the input channels or as aux sends (see “Setting up
the I/O” on page 36).
C
ASSIGNABLE RETURNS (BAL)
These
quasi-balanced returns (–2dBu) are either used as
aux returns or as insert returns for the input channels
(see “Setting up the I/O” on page 36).
D
PHONES
These two stereo 1/4” jacks provide
headphone outputs.
Module control section
This section is chiefly used for the control of the
most commonly-used module parameters:
E
FS indicators
These indicators show the
current sampling frequency used by the system.
F
2ND F. (MOVE) key
This key is mainly
used in conjunction with the automation (purple)
keys to access the secondary functions of these keys.
G
EQUALIZER keys
As explained in “Rotary
encoders (ring LEDs)” on page 15, four of these keys
(
HIGH
,
HI MID
,
LOW MID
,
LOW
) are used to select
the frequency band of the active module which will
be affected by the rotary encoders. The
ON
key turns
the EQ on and off for the selected module.
H
CH ASSIGN keys
These keys are used to
assign the selected module to the pairs of output bus-
ses (
BUSS 1-2
,
BUSS 3-4
,
BUSS 5-6

The legends in parentheses on the first three buss
keys refer to surround assignments if a surround
mode has been selected.

(ring LEDs)” on page 15. The indicators show the
current function of the encoders.
L
TOUCH/MOVE [KEEP] key
This key is
used in conjunction with the automation software, as
explained in the automation guide.
M
Rotary encoders
These are used to set
parameters as explained in “Rotary encoders (ring
LEDs)” on page 15.

These keys are used for the storage and recall of
commonly-used parameters in snapshots, EQ set-
tings, effects and so on.
N
L and – [BANK] keys
