you are using the Aux send to go to an effects processor. This way, when fader changes are made, the “wet” signal going to the effects processor moves up and down along with the “dry” signal, maintaining a balance between them.

The pre-fader Aux Sends are post-EQ by default. How- ever, an internal jumper is provided on each channel to change the pre-fader Aux Sends to pre-EQ, if desired.

This requires some soldering skills, so contact Tech Support for information on how to access the pre/post-EQ jumpers for the Aux Sends.

57. AFL Solo Switch

The AFL switch allows you to hear the Aux Send signal through your headphones or monitor outputs. This comes after the Aux Send GAIN control, so you can hear the relative signal level on each Aux Send.

Remember, PFL solo mode always overrides AFL solo mode. If you engage a PFL solo switch on a mono or stereo channel, the AFL solo is disconnected from the headphones and monitor outputs and replaced with the PFL signal. The Rude Solo LEDS below the SOLO meters indicate which solo mode is active.

58. MUTE

Press this switch to mute the Aux Send output. When the MUTE switch is pushed in on an Aux Send, you can still solo the Aux Send.

59. CD/TAPE Level Control

This knob controls the level of the signals connected to the left and right TAPE IN jacks. The signal is then sent to the MONITOR/PHONES output (when the TO

MON/PHONES switch [60] is pushed in) and the MAIN

OUT (when the

60. TO MON/PHONES Switch

Press this switch to route the CD/TAPE signal to the Monitor and Phones outputs when there are no solo switches engaged. The Main Mix and CD/TAPE signal is overridden in the Monitor and Phones outputs by any PFL or AFL solo.

61. BREAK (TAPE TO MAIN)

Press this switch to route the CD/TAPE signal to the Main outputs. This actually disconnects the Main Mix signal from the Main outputs and replaces it with the CD/TAPE signal. This allows you to easily start up recorded music during a break without having to mute or turn down the faders on all the channels.

The patch point for the BREAK switch is prior to the MAIN INSERTS, the COMPRESSOR (if selected), and the MAIN MIX fader.

62. STEREO RETURNS AUX Sends

These tap a portion of the STEREO RETURNS signal out to AUX 1-4. This allows you to send a processed signal out to another processor if you want, or to add a processed signal to a monitor mix, or to use the Stereo Return as a stereo input and still be able to send the signal to an external processor or stage monitor.

FEEDBACK LOOP WARNING: It is

common to use an Aux Send to route

signals to an external processor, and

then return the signal from the pro-

cessor via the Stereo Returns. Since the Stereo Returns on the Onyx 4•Bus have Aux Sends of their own, you could accidentally route the Stereo Return signal to an Aux Send that is being returned via that same Stereo Return. This will cause a feedback loop,
