5 FX SEND (MFXi)

This control sets the level of the post-fade signal being sent to the FX bus; from there it is routed to the FX processor. The FX Send is always post-fader.

6 BALANCE

This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and Right MIX buses, allowing you to balance the source in the stereo image. When the control is turned fully right or left you feed only that side of the signal to the mix. Unity gain is provided by the control in the centre-detented position.

7 MUTE

All outputs from the channel are enabled when the MUTE switch is released and muted when the switch is down.The MUTE switch’s inbuilt LED glows when the channel is muted.

8 FADER

The 60mm FADER gives you smooth control of the overall signal level in the channel strip, allowing precise balancing of the various source signals being mixed to the Mas- ter Section. It is important that the input level is set correctly to give maximum travel on the fader which should normally be used at around the “0” mark. See the “Initial Setup” section on page 42 for help in setting the right level.

9 PFL

When the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade pre-mute signal is fed in mono to the headphones, control room output and meters, where it replaces the MIX. The SOLO LED on the Master section illuminates to warn that a PFL is active. The Left and Right meters display the PFL signal in mono. This is a useful way of listening to any required input signal without interrupting the main mix, for making adjustments or tracing problems.

10 CHANNEL PEAK LED

This LED will light when the signal level approaches clipping at any of the two monitored points: POST-EQ and POST-FADE.

11 SIGNAL PRESENT (SP) LED

The SP LED glows when a signal is present. The feed point for the LED is pre-EQ.

12 MIX/SUB

When this switch is up, the channel’s post-fade signal is routed to the Mix (left and right) buses. When the switch is depressed, the post-fade signal is routed to the Sub- group (left and right) buses.
