GROUP/AUX FLIP switch

The M2500 provides a GROUP/

AUX FLIP switch that

exchanges the output destina-

tions of GROUP buses 1–8 and

AUX buses 7–14.

● When GROUP ( ) is selected

The signals of GROUP buses 1–8 will be routed

through the G1/A7–G8/A14 section, and sent to the

GROUP/AUX OUT jacks, the STEREO bus, MONO/C,

and MATRIX buses. The signals of AUX buses 7–14 will

be routed through the A7/G1–A14/G8 section, and sent

to the AUX GRP OUT jacks. With this setting, AUX

buses 7–14 can be used as conventional AUX buses, and

GROUP buses 1–8 can be used as group buses. This set-

ting is more convenient when you are using the M2500

as a main console, since you will be able to use the 100

mm faders to control the group buses.

● When AUX ( ) is selected

The signals of GROUP buses 1–8 will be routed

through the A7/G1–A14/G8 section and sent to the

AUX/GRP OUT jacks. The signals of AUX buses 7–14

will be routed through the G1/A7–G8/A14 section,

and sent to the GROUP/AUX OUT jacks, the STE-

REO bus, MONO/C, and MATRIX buses.

This setting is more convenient when you are using

the M2500 as a “monitor console” to control individ-

ual monitor levels on stage, since you will be able to

use the 100 mm faders to control each of the AUX

buses (1–14).
