Delta 1010 User Guide

<SOLO: Each mixer input channel features a “Solo” checkbox. When a channel’s Solo box is checked, all other channels will be temporarily muted and only the “soloed” channel will be heard. Deactivating all solo boxes will return all input channels to their previous mute/unmute states.

Note that it is possible to solo more than one channel at a time on the Monitor Mixer. If more than one channel is soloed, all solo channels will be heard while all un-soloed channels will be muted and grayed out. To return to normal operation, uncheck all Solo boxes.

<MUTE: Every Monitor Mixer channel has a Mutecheckbox. When this box is checked, its associated channel will not be routed to the stereo output and will not be heard in the monitor mix. When the box is unchecked, its associated channel will be routed to the mixers output.

<STEREO LINK: All of the Monitor Mixer’s channel pairs have a “Stereo Link” checkbox. When this box is checked, the left/right faders move together so that the channels may be adjusted as a stereo pair. When this box is unchecked, the faders can be adjusted independently.
