1Turn ON (push in) the PRE switch under the AUX 1 knob of each channel that you want to monitor.

2Use each channel’s AUX 1 knob to adjust the signal level sent for monitoring.

3Use the AUX MASTER 1 knob to adjust the overall level sent to the AUX 1 send bus.

Using sub-group functions

By using the SUB bus as a sub-group, you can make adjusting the stereo mix balance more efficient.

For example, in a live application when connecting drum mics to channels 1–3, and inputting guitar, bass, and vocal on channels 4–6, turn the ST assign switches OFF and the SUB assign switches ON for channels 1–3. Turn the ST assign switches ON and the SUB assign switches OFF for channels 4–6. Then turn the TO ST switch above the SUB fader ON.

With this setting, the guitar, bass and vocal signals are sent directly to the stereo bus, but the drums signals pass through the SUB bus before being sent to the stereo bus. By doing this, after adjusting the balance of the three drum mics, you can use the SUB fader to adjust the overall level of the drums when balancing with the other sound sources.
