56 Chapter 5—Input Channels

Grouping Mutes

Input channel [ON] buttons 1 through 16 can be grouped together in mute groups for multi-channel control using a single button. Three groups are available: D, E, and F. Mute groups may contain on channels and off channels, making it easy to toggle between channels. When switched, on channels go off and off channels come on.

Making a Mute Group

1. Use the [SETUP] button to locate SETUP page 3, as shown below.

2.Use the up and down cursor buttons to select the mute groups, and the [SEL] buttons to add and remove channels to and from that group.

Channels cannot be in more than one group at a time.

Input channels 13/14, 15/16, and paired input channels 1 through 12 (“Pairing Input Channels” on page 52) are added and removed together.

Enabling & Disabling Mute Groups

Mute groups can be enabled and disabled using the ENABLE switches. Disabling a group allows you to set channels without removing them from the group.

1.Use the up and down cursor buttons to select the mute group that you want to disable: D, E, or F.

2.Use the [ENTER] button, PARAMETER wheel, or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to enable or disable the selected group.
