AUX SENDS SOLO
Once again, in a live sound situations AUX SEND 1 and 2 are likely to feed your stage monitors. You’ll want to check the mix you’re sending them, and that’s what these two but- tons are for. (AUX 3 through AUX 6 have no such switch.) Below each switch is a green LED that, just like the channel’s
The only thing different about AUX SENDS SOLO is that it’s not really PFL
AUX RETURNS (LEVEL)
These four controls set the overall level of effects received from the stereo AUX RETURN input jacks . These controls are designed to handle a wide range of signal levels — each knob goes from off, to unity gain at the detent, to 20dB gain fully clockwise, to compensate for

EFFECTS TO MONITORS
If you want to add reverb or delay to the stage monitor mixes, these are the knobs for you. Operating independently of their respec- tively numbered AUX RETURNS level controls, these knobs are exactly the same as the AUX 1 and AUX 2 knobs found in the channel strip .
These two knobs feed AUX RETURN signals to their respective AUX SEND outputs : TO AUX SEND 1 feeds AUX RETURN 1 to AUX SEND 1 master, and TO AUX SEND 2 feeds AUX RETURN 2 to AUX SEND 2 master. They are off when turned fully down, deliver unity gain at the center detent, and can provide up to 15dB of gain turned fully up. AUX RETURN 3 and AUX RETURN 4 have no such knobs.
MAIN MIX TO SUBS (AUX RET 3)
With this switch up, AUX RETURN 3 behaves like all the others — it delivers a stereo signal, regulated by its level knob, to the MAIN

MIX fader , with exceptions that we’ll discuss in a moment.
Typically, these knobs can just live at the center detent, and the effects device’s output control should be set at what- ever they call unity gain (check their manual). If that turns out to be too loud or too quiet, ad- just the effects device’s outputs,
Let’s say you’ve made a stereo drum submix on subgroup faders 1 and 2, so you can ride those two faders instead of the seven channels that the drums came from. Subgroup fader 1 has its ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX, LEFT button engaged and subgroup fader 2 has its ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX, RIGHT button engaged, blending the drum submix back into the MAIN
