Channel grouping

You can group channels to group busses for effective mixing.

Using the channel grouping function, you can adjust levels of grouped channels using a single fader while maintaining the balance between channels.

By setting the group assign switch (1-2 or 3-

4)of a channel to ON, the channel signal is sent to group busses 1 and 2 or 3 and 4. A group buss signal is output from the [GROUP OUT] jacks.

When the [ASSIGN TO STEREO OUT] switch above the group fader is set to ON, the group buss signal is output to the corresponding stereo buss.

You can find the [SOLO] switches on chan- nels 1 through 16, the effect send, and AUX sends 1 through 3 (see below).

For example, it would be a good idea to as- sign channels for drums to a group. You can control the level of drums using the corre- sponding group fader without altering the balance.
