auxes (auxiliary mixes)

Ten Aux buses are available for creating individual output mixes from the Input chan- nels of the Console. These mixes can be used for driving effects processors, provid- ing monitor mixes, creating broadcast or alternate sound reinforcement mixes, or other special requirements. The Aux buses are fed from the Aux Send controls on the Mono Inputs, Stereo Inputs, Stereo Returns and the Ambience Input. Pre and Post switches are available for these send pots, along with internal options to allow the user to configure the Aux mixes in a variety of ways.

49aux master level

This rotary pot is used to control the Aux output level. Nominal position is at the “0” mark, with 10dB additional gain available above that point. When the FADER- REVERSE switch is depressed (located next to the 100mm fader), this rotary pot will instead control the associated Group Output level, and the Aux Output level is then controlled by the 100mm fader (see Fader Reverse description on Pg 36).

aux monitoring

The following controls are used to check the signal level and status of the Aux mix. These controls monitor the audio signal present at the rotary pot.

Normally, this is the Aux bus signal, but if the FaderReverse switch is depressed, these same controls will monitor the Group signal, and the Aux bus will be monitored by the corresponding Fader-related controls.

50PK/Sig LED

A bicolor LED displays the Pre-level signal with varying intensity green illumination, and also indicates impending bus overload (within 3dB of clipping) by turning red. Clipping is sensed both pre- and post- level control, so even if the control is turned down, you will be informed of any bus-related overload problems.

51AFL

An AFL (After-Fader Listen) switch is provided that lets the operator monitor the signal in the console’s Solo system. When depressed, the post-fader, post-mute signal is sent to the console’s Solo system (see Master section for details on the Solo sys- tem functions).
