Group/Aux Flip Function

This innovative feature makes it possible to flip the functions of the group master 1 through 8 controls (including pan pots, assign switches, and insert I/O jacks) with aux send controls 7 through 14 via a single switch. When the GROUP/AUX FLIP switch is set to GROUP, the 100-mm group master faders and related controls function in the normal way, affecting the signal fed to the console’s group outputs — the ideal configuration for most house mixing applications. When the GROUP/AUX FLIP switch is set to AUX, however, the group master

faders are flipped with rotary aux sends 7 through 14, so that all of the console’s master aux sends are controlled via full-length faders for unmatched monitor mixing convenience.

Switchable LR and LCR Panning

All of the mono inputs and group master controls feature LCR switches which, when engaged, assign the related panpot to the left, right, and center busses for LCR panning rather than just to the left and right busses as for standard LR stereo panning. When an LCR switches is not engaged, the corresponding PAN control functions in the normal way, panning the signal from left to right on the stereo buss. When a channel’s LCR switch is engaged, however, the center panpot position directly feeds the channel signal to the MONO/C buss, which can feed a center amp/speaker system as required, while intermediate pan positions feed both the L or R and C buss proportionately. The advantage is that centered signals are heard precisely in the center of the sound field, regardless of listening

position — an ideal situation for vocals, speech, etc.
