STEREO

A 9–10/11–12 input level controls

These rotary controls are used to adjust the level of the 9–10 and 11–12 input signals that are sent to the Stereo bus for mixing. They’re also used in conjunction with the GROUP ASSIGN switches to adjust the level of the 9–10 and 11–12 input signals that are assigned to groups.

B 9–10/11–12 GROUP ASSIGN switches

These switches are used to assign (i.e., send) the 9–10 and 11–12 input signals to the groups. The left-channel signal is sent to odd Groups 1 and 3, while the right-channel signal is sent to even Groups 2 and 4. The 9–10 and 11–12 input signals could be the stereo output signals from another mixer or external effects pro- cessor.Note that the 9–10 and 11–12 input signals are always sent to the Stereo bus for mixing regardless of these switch settings.

C GROUP MASTER level controls

These rotary controls adjust the levels of the group signals that are fed to the tracks.

D STEREO fader

This fader is used to adjust the level of the stereo signal that is sent to the STEREO OUT jacks. For optimum performance this fader should be positioned about the 7–8 mark.

E CUE MASTER level control

This control is used to adjust the overall level of the CUE signal.

F CUE MIX TO STEREO switch

This switch is used to feed the CUE bus signals through to the Stereo bus (i.e., the CUE bus signals are mixed with the MIC/LINE signals). It’s used for multi-source mixing at mix- down.

G MONITOR SELECT switches

These switches are used to select the signal source for the MON- ITOR OUT and headphones.

2TR IN—This switch selects the 2TR IN as the monitor source. This allows you to monitor the output of a stereo master recorder during mixdown.

GROUP—These switches select the Group buses as the moni- tor source. This allows you to monitor signals assigned to tracks. When only the [1–3] or [2–4] switch is pressed, the monitor sig- nal is mono. Press both switches to monitor stereo signals.

STEREO—This switch selects the Stereo bus as the monitor source.This allows you to monitor the STEREO OUT signal and is typically used during mixdown.

CUE—This switch selects the CUE bus as the monitor source. This allows you to monitor track signals, which is useful for punch in/out.

H MONITOR LEVEL control

This rotary control adjusts the level of the monitor signal that is sent to the MONITOR OUT and PHONES connectors.
