The AUX 2 submix system is similar to the

preceeding system, but offers a slightly different

signal source choice. The AUX 2 signal input is
determined by the POST switch. In the "up"

posit ion (PRE), the signal is the same as that

selected for AUX 1 , regardless of the AUX 1
choice. In the POST or "down" position, the

AUX 2 system receives its signal from the chan

nel post EO and FAD E R . Thus, AUX 2 can be

differen t from AUX 1 or the same, depending
on the selection of the sources. As with AUX 1

the AUX 2 signals are summed and controlled

by the AUX 2 M ASTER controL The final signal

m ix is available at the AUX 2 OUTPUTs.

The next subm ix system is the E F F ( E CTs) send
system. Unlike the AUX 1 and 2 systems, the

EFF(ECTs) syste m is dedicated; its signal source

is always the channel. The signal is taken post
fader, so whatever EO and channel fader changes

are applied to the channel signal will be appa rent
in the E F F ( E CTs) signal as well. The composite

EFF(ECTs) signal from all the selected send con

trols are sent through the E F FECTs B USS to

the

E F F E CTs MASTE R control and on to the

EFFECTs output jacks.

Effects

Return System

The E F FECTs RETURN subsystem should be
v iewed as a pair of separate or extra line inputs.

The specific reason for their inclusion is to allow
signals sent from the E F FECTs send outputs to

modified by the chosen external device, then

brought back to the MAIN MIX system. The

EFFECTs R ETURNs receive their signals from

the E F FECTs RETU RN inputs. Each of the

jack s feeds signal to a separate L EV E L controL

From here, the signals are distributed through

the PAN controls and sent to the STE REO

LEFT and R I GHT BUSS ES . The E F F ECTs

R ETU RN system is dedicated; its signals always

go to the MAIN MIX STE REO LEFT and

RIGHT BUSSES.

Monitor System

The MONITOR submix system is an independent

8 input/2 output mix ing system which can

receive its inputs from either the PGM G ROUPS

or the TAPE R ETURNS or a combination of the

two. The MON ITOR system is a necessary sub-

system for multi-track recording as it al lows

various signals to be heard or monitored during

the  actual  recording  process. S ince  these signals
can  be  l ive,  prerecorded  or  in  combination, the
engineer can use the MON ITOR to aid  in  making

critica l artistic decisions regarding the final mix.

r here are two horizontal rows of four MONITOR

sections located above the PGM G ROUP

F A D E RS , eac h GROUP contains two MONt

OR sections. The upper row conta ins sections

1 , 2 , 3 and 4, while the lower row, sections 5,

6, 7, and 8.

Each section consists of a TAPE RTN(/source)

switch, a L EVEL control, a PA N control, and an

ON switch. The TAPE RTN switch determines

the signal sou rce of the individual MONITOR
section; either the corresponding TAPE RE

TUR N input or the PGM G ROUP in which the

section  resides.  The L EVEL  and  PAN  controls
are  used  to  set  the  signal  level  and  distribution
of the signal which is sent to the STER E O  LEFT

and R IG HT B USS ES. The ON switch allows the

MONITOR output to be muted, stopping the

signal from reaching the MAIN MIX.

Additionally, on the models M-312 and M-320,
each MONITOR section contains an AUX send

control and an AUX POST switch. In the upper

row, MONITORS 1 -4, the controls are labeled

AUX 3, while the lower row, sections 5- 8,

contains AUX 4. Each is independent, sending

signal to either AUX MASTE R. 3 or 4.

The POST switch determines whether the AUX
signal is derived before or after the MON ITOR

LEV E L controL If POST is chosen, the MONI

TO R ON switch will affect the AUX signal as
