GROUPS

Note that the group controls are swappable with the aux 1-4 controls by pressing the GRP/AUX SWAP switches (1). If the contols are swapped the aux and group faders swap function (and their respective AFL buttons) and the group insert point becomes an aux insert point. The 12- segment meter swaps function.The group and aux output connectors retain their original function.

The following description assumes that swap mode is NOT used.

The GRPx fader (2) controls the level after the insert point. This signal is fed to the Group Output XLR on the rear connector panel.

The 12-segment meter (3) monitors the level after the fader.

The AFL button (4) feeds the group post-fader signal to the monitor output and phones output.

The post-fader signal is routed to the main mix stereo pair via the L-R switch (5) and the centre mix via the C switch (6). The Group PAN pot (7) is before the L-R switch in the signal path. It is used to position the group’s signal within the stereo image of the main mix.

The post-fader signal may be routed to any or all of the 4 matrix busses via the four matrix input pots (8).

AUX MASTERS 5-8
