Bus Assignment Features

The bus assignment section offers considerable flexibility for creating what eventually becomes the main output mix.Two stereo subgroups are available for creating submixes or separate stereo mixes. When the channel is being used as a stereo input, Left/Right, Groups 1/2, Groups 3/4 and bus assignments are configured as true stereo pairs. Bus assignments are derived post-fader, post- EQ, and post-mute.

G 1-2 Bus Assign

The channel is assigned to Groups 3 and 4. Groups 3 and 4 are normally used as a stereo pair. They can also be treated as two discrete mono groups by using the BAL control as GROUP 3/4 mix control.

Input Fader

The fader is the primary level control for signals being sent to any of the console's mix buses. The signals affected are the AUX sends selected to be post-fader (See Aux Send section) and the Mono, L/R and Groups 1-4.

PK / SIG LED Indicator

This two-color LED is used to monitor both the channel’s Left and Right signal levels. Signal present (green) is monitored pre-fader. Peak (red) is monitored at the preamp and both before & after the fader.

PFL

The PFL (Pre Fader Listen) button routes the channel’s signal to the PFL bus for monitoring through headphones or in the control room. The Peak (red) LED is illuminated to show PFL status. Since the SOLO bus is stereo, the channel’s stereo image is preserved within the Solo system.
