18. CHANNEL AUX 3 AND AUX 4 PRE OR POST SENDS
The AUX 3 and AUX 4 level controls (with the Aux 3 - 4 PRE switch in) provides a total of 4 PRE monitor controls when used with AUX 1 and AUX 2 (4 monitor mixes). With the Aux 3 - 4 PRE switch out, AUX 3 and AUX 4 can be used with AUX 5 and AUX 6 as effects sends for a total of 4 post sends.
19. TAPE 5 - 6 SWITCH
The TAPE 5 - 6 switch is linked to the TAPE switch at the top of the channel. Here the alternate input (the input not going to the fader) can be sourced to AUX 5 and AUX 6. This is used primarily in recording during tracking to provide playback to the studio musicians.
20. CHANNEL AUX 5 AND AUX 6 POST SENDS
The AUX 5 and AUX 6 sends are post EQ and post Fader sends when the TAPE
21. CHANNEL AUX 7/8 TAPE SWITCH
The 7/8 TAPE switch is linked to the TAPE switch at the top of the channel. Here the alternate input (the input not going to the fader) can be sourced to the stereo pair of AUX 7 and AUX 8. This is used primarily in recording during tracking to provide playback mixing for the control room and to the studio musicians.
22. CHANNEL AUX 7/8 PRE FAD W/ EQ SWITCH
The PRE FAD w/ EQ switch in the up position places the stereo pair of AUX 7 and AUX 8 controls post EQ and post fader for use as effects sends. In the down position, the stereo pair of AUX 7 and AUX 8 controls are post EQ, pre mute and pre fader for stereo

23. CHANNEL AUX 7-8 PRE OR POST STEREO SENDS
The stereo pair of AUX 7 and AUX 8 level controls are post EQ and post fader sends when the TAPE and PRE FAD w/ EQ switches are up. The stereo pair is made up of the 7/8 level control and the 7/8 pan control which pans between the two send AUX 7 and AUX 8. The stereo pair of AUX 7 and AUX 8 sends are designed for effects sends or any other fader tracking send needed. See TAPE switch for its tape input effects on AUX 7 and AUX 8.
24. PAN
This is the channel’s main PAN control. It allows the channel’s signal to be place anywhere in the stereo field from left to right with the center detent being centered. The PAN control in the studio is typically used for adjusting the stereo field for each channel, but it is also used for assigning channels to individual buses. The later is typical for live mixing where certain chan- nels are grouped to a single bus for sub group mixing. See Standard Live mixer
25. PEAK, SOLO, AND MUTE INDICATORS
The RED PEAK LED indicator is
26. MUTE SWITCH
The MUTE switch turns off the channel at the fader. All sends which are pre fader will not be muted. This is extremely useful when you need to mute channels but can’t afford to lose fader settings.
27. SOLO SWITCH
The SOLO switch allows the operator to monitor each channel. The SOLO switch can be set for either “PFL mode” (Pre Fader Listen) or “SOLO after fader” where the channel’s pan position is heard when soloed. The switch to change the SOLO mode is found in the CONTROL MASTERS section of the console. See Master Section for more information.
28. ASSIGNMENT SWITCHES
These switches assign the channels’ signal to the group faders (8 buses) for
29. CHANNEL FADER
The channel FADER control is the final level control of the channel before the PAN control. The Fader has a 0dB marker for nominal setting of the channel. For typical mixing the 0dB position provides the lowest noise and highest headroom for the channel. The Fader has an added 12dB of gain for signals that need an extra boost in the mix, however pushing the fader above the 0db marker should be done in moderation. The channels have plenty of headroom but the proper adjustment should be made at the channel’s input or GAIN control. Be aware of the signals and fader settings so you don’t
