Pre-fader/Post-fader Effects Sends

Pre-fader/Post-fader Effects Sends

Effects sends on input channels 1 through 24 and effects returns 1 and 2 can be config- ured as either pre-fader or post-fader sends. Pre-fader means that signals are sourced before, and are not affected by the regular channel fader. Post-fader means that signals are sourced after, and are affected by the regular channel fader. With a post-fader send, the regular channel fader can be used to control the channel level and the effects send level simultaneously.

For Input Channels 1–16 & the Effects Returns

1.Use the [EFFECT 1] button to locate the PRE/POST page for Effect 1, or the [EFFECT 2] button to locate the PRE/POST page for Effect 2.

Both pages are shown below.

The value below each PRE/POST switch indicates the position of the effects send fader. The position of the corresponding effects send master fader is displayed at the top of the page.

To prevent signal loops, effects return 1 can be fed only to Effect 2, and effects return 2 can be fed only to Effect 1. This is why EFFECT1 page 3 does not have a PRE/POST switch for effect 1, and EFFECT2 page 3 does not have a PRE/POST switch for effect 2.

2.Use the [SEL] buttons or cursor buttons to select the PRE/POST switches, and the [ENTER] button, PARAMETER wheel, or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to set them.

The PRE/POST switches on input channels 13 and 14 (likewise 15 and 16) are perma- nently linked. When input channels 1 through 12 are paired (“Pairing Input Channels” on page 52), their PRE/POST switches are linked.
