level controls. The HDS-16 solo feature re- quires patching the mix console’s main or mix output to the HDS-16’s channel D input.

Note: After using the solo feature to listen to the main console mix between takes, turn the channel D level control off (to 0) on all HRM-16s before resuming recording. It is easy to forget to turn down channel D because you will still hear the intended channel mix but the main console mix will also be present.

Figure 4 shows the solo interface, labeled CHANNEL D LEFT & RIGHT ONLY because all HRM-16 outputs are muted when the SOLO button is depressed except Channel D. A switch can be plugged into the ¼-inch SOLO REMOTE SWITCH connector to turn the solo function on/off. The SOLO ON LED indicator lights when the solo function is active.
