Monitoring AUX Sends

You can monitor the REC BUSS OUT signal by connecting the MON- ITOR OUT jacks to an ampliﬁer and speakers. Set the Mon Sel (Mon- itor Select) parameter on the 1:CLOCK/MON page to AUX1, AUX2, AUX3, or AUX4 (see page 98).

You can also monitor the REC BUSS OUT signal through a pair of ste- reo headphones connected to the PHONES jack. For more informa- tion, see “Monitoring Signals” on page 97.

Viewing the AUX Send and Master Setting

You can view the AUX Send level and send master level on meters that appear on the CH VIEW function page and the Channel Edit/Out- puts function page respectively.

To view the AUX Send level, press the [CH VIEW] key to display the 1:CH VIEW function page, press a Page Select key to select the desired channel layer, and press the [EQ EDIT] key for the Aux Send channel.

You can display the CHANNEL EDIT/OUTPUTS function page to view the AUX Send master level by pressing the [CHANNEL/METER] key twice.

See “Monitoring Signals” on page 97 for more information.
