AUX sends source their signals via a control from one or more channels and sum these signals to a

When using effects on a channel signal, it is usual to have the aux send post fader so that the balance between effect and dry signal stays constant even when the channel fader is altered. If this were not the case, the effects signal of the channel would remain audible even when the channel fader is turned to zero. For monitoring, the aux sends are generally

PAN
The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo image. When working with subgroups, you can use the PAN control to assign the signal to just one output, which gives you additional flexibility in recording situations. For example, when routing to subgroups 3 and 4, panning hard left will route the signal to group output 3 only, and panning hard right will route to group output 4 only.

The MUTE LED indicates a muted channel.
PEAK LED
The PEAK LED lights up when the input signal is driven too high. If this happens, back off the GAIN control and, if necessary, check the setting of the channel EQ.
