AUX SEND 2

This is normally POST-FADE, and would typically be used as an effects send, but may be switched globally to PRE-FADE using the POST/PRE switch on the Master section, providing a second foldback or monitor send if required.

AUX SEND 3

This is always POST-FADE for effects sends, external submix (or for Centre Voice cluster or mono Tape mix).

9PAN

This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Right and Left MIX or SUB buses, allowing you to move the source smoothly across the stereo image. When the control is turned fully right or left you are able to route the signal at unity gain to either left or right outputs individually.

10 ON

All outputs from the channel except inserts are muted when the ON switch is released and enabled when the switch is down, allowing levels to be pre-set before the before the signal is required.

11 MIX / SUB

The channel signal may be routed to either the main MIX (switch UP) or SUB buses (switch DOWN). The left/right balance is set by the PAN control (see above) allowing the signal to be sent proportionately to any of the buses.

12 FADER

The 100mm FADER, with a custom-designed law to give even smoother control of the overall signal level in the channel strip, allows precise balancing of the various source signals being mixed to the Master Section. You get most control when the input SENSI- TIVITY is set up correctly, giving full travel on the fader. See the `Initial Set Up’ section on page 16 for help in setting a suitable signal level.

13 DIRECT PRE/POST

See Direct Output (1) and ‘Advanced Features’ on page 18 for an explanation of the

Direct Output. The output may be selected as either
PRE or POST fader. The factory default setting is
POST-FADER, but this may be changed by
moving an internal switch as
shown on the right.
Remove the protective
grommet to gain access to the
switch and move the switch
carefully upwards using a small
screwdriver or the end of a	POST-FADE	PRE-FADE
pencil. It is advisable to turn

the unit off before making this adjustment.

Always check all outputs after adjusting to ensure that switching has been successful.

14 PFL

When the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade signal is fed to the headphones, control room output and meters, where it replaces the selected monitor source (MIX, SUB or 2TK). The PFL/AFL LED on the Master section illuminates to warn that a PFL is active. This is a useful way of listening to any required input signal without interrupting the main mix, for making adjustments or tracing problems.
