Master Aux Send Section

37. AUX 1 -8 MASTERS

The AUX MASTERS provide overall control over the AUX SEND levels, just before they are delivered to the AUX SEND outputs [72]. These knobs go from off () to +15 dB when turned all the way up.

This is usually the knob you turn up when the lead singer glares at you, points at his stage monitor, and sticks his thumb up in the air. (It would follow that if the singer stuck his thumb down, you’d turn the knob down, but that never happens.)

AUX 2

38. MUTE

 

 

 

Remember, PFL solo mode always overides 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.

Group Section

There are eight group masters (or submasters, if you prefer) that feed the eight group sends [74].

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 (see AFL Solo Switch next).

Note: The Group PAN control works only when the MAIN MIX switch is engaged (see next).

PAN adjusts the amount of signal sent to the left versus the right outputs.

With the PAN knob hard left, the signal feeds the MAIN LEFT output, and with the knob hard right, the signal feeds the MAIN RIGHT output.

39. 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.

Push in this switch to send the Group signal to the left and right MAIN OUTS. When the PAN control is centered, the signal is sent equally to the left and right outputs.

The signal sent to the MAIN OUTS is after the Group Insert, Fader, and MUTE switch.

42. MUTE Switch

Press this switch to mute the Group output. When the MUTE switch is pushed in on a Group, you can still solo the Group signal (see AFL Solo Switch [39] ahead).

This fader controls the Group’s signal level, from off to unity gain at the “U” marking, on up to 10 dB of additional gain.

44. Signal Level LEDs

These LEDs indicate the Group’s signal level after the Fader and MUTE switch. So if the MUTE switch is pushed in or the Faders are down, the Signal Level LEDs won’t light.
