MIX MINUS Navigation Button

Pressing the MiIX MINUS button on the navigation bar at the top of the VGA

monitor opens up the Mix-Minus Control screen. This screen is split into two main
parts: the upper half provides dedicated meters and level control for all eight
Mix-Minus output masters.

The lower section of the screen labeled MIX MINUS SETTINGS is a 24 x 8

Mix-Minus assignment matrix. This matrix provides a very easy way to view the
Mix-Minus setup of the entire board.

Using the Mix-Minus Matrix

The Mix-Minus matrix provides an easy way to view and configure Mix-Minus

assignments for the whole console. There are 24 columns, one for each input fader
and eight rows - one for each Mix-Minus bus. Simply touch the intersection of a
fader column and Mix-Minus row to subtract the fader from the Mix-Minus output.
When an X is present, you are subtracting the selected fader column from the
Mix-Minus output. An MXM LED will light on each applicable input fader strip
to show selections made in the matrix.
