group 1 to group 4 control knobs Each of the groups (1-4) has its own

 

individual matrix send level, which is continuously variable from

 

4 (infinity/off) to +6dB. Unity (0dB) is also marked on the scale, allowing

 

the signal to be routed to the matrix without any attenuation or gain.

Alternatively, the auxiliaries can be routed to the matrix by pressing the aux c/o switch (see “Group-aux changeover” on page 60). This is especially useful for generating additional monitor mixes or re-routing existing monitor mixes (for example, if artists are moving around to other parts of the stage).
