Outputs - Direct Channel Outs (CH OP), Post Fader

Each Mono channel of the X-Panda has a Direct Output. The Channel Direct Outputs (CH OP) are primarily used to feed the

inputs of your chosen recorder or DAW. On the rear panel connection panel of X- Panda they are labelled “CHAN OUT 9-16(1-8)”.

The operator has a choice of whether the output Signal is sourced Pre or Post fader. By default the output is Pre fader / Post Input Trim but by selecting “POST” the Output level will be sourced after, and thus controlled by, the Channel Fader. This is useful if in classic British audio engineering style one wishes to “ride” the signal level to tape or in this modern day and age, the DAW.

Stereo Cue – Post Fader, ALT source

This is the channel send to the Stereo CUE Bus. There are separate controls for both Level and Pan, and this is normally used as a Cue audio feed for the recording artist. But this is just the beginning!

Selecting the POST switch will source the Stereo Cue post the channel fader.

A very useful feature of the X-Panda mono channels is that the CUE ST can source the ALT channel input (even if it has not been selected as the main channel input.) To achieve this simply engage the “ALT” switch. This is useful when recording as an entirely independent Cue mix can be built up.

Alternatively if the requirement is for a large analogue summing system (when used in conjunction with an X-Desk), an additional 8 channels could be connected to the ALT input, sourced on the CUE with independent Level and Pan, and reassigned to the MIX bus via the CUE to MIX button on the Master section of an X-Desk.

Note: Selecting ALT (on the CUE send) when it is sourced as the Channel Input will result in no change to the Cue source.

FX Sends 1&2 and Stereo Returns (ST RET)

Each Mono Channel on the X-Panda has two mono FX sends (FX1 and FX2)

The Send is permanently ON but rotating it fully counter clockwise will result in no signal being sent onto the FX bus.

Normally the FX sends are sourced Post Fader but they can be globally switched for the whole X-Panda by the PRE switches on the last Stereo Channel. (See next section)
