AIR AIR is a high frequency peaking EQ centered at 16kHz. Turned fully up, these controls provide 10dB of boost and fully down effectively bypasses the circuit. Use AIR to provide a crystalline effect to subgroups, helping them stand out in the overall mix. +15 +10 +5 0 AIR -5 -10 -15 20Hz 100Hz 1kHz 10kHz 100kHz 57. SOLO Engaging this switch isolates the associated signal and sends it to the control room, phones and meters. See RUDE SOLO LIGHT (61) and MODE (63) for more information. Note: To solo a subgroup in AFL mode, L/R ASSIGN (59) must be engaged. 58. PAN When a mono subgroup signal is assigned to the main mix via L/R ASSIGN (59), it effectively becomes another channel signal and can be panned from left to right. This knob then adjusts the amount of signal sent, left versus right, to the MAIN OUTS (12) (16). The mixer's pan circuits employ a design called "constant loudness." As the knob is rotated from left to center to right, the sound will remain at the same apparent volume. To attain this, both sides of the signal must dip down about 4 dB when panned center, to account for the "doubling" of the signal. 59. L/R ASSIGN This switch allows a subgroup signal to be sent to the main mix. Engaging this switch will not interrupt signal at the SUB OUTS (8) jack. For live sound, subgroups allow a group of channels to be controlled by one or two subgroup faders, and then sent to the main mix using this switch and its associated PAN (58) control. For multi-track recording, subgroups can be used to route groups of channels to specific tracks of a multi-track recorder via the SUB OUTS (8). In this case, L/R ASSIGN should not be used.
