Use MATRIX A for the LEFT and MATRIX B for the RIGHT secondary mix outputs. Turn MATRIX A's LEFT knob and MATRIX B's RIGHT knob to their "U" markings. On MATRIX A and B, turn their CENTER knobs about one-third of the way up (10:00 position). SOLO PFL Point Before: SUB INSERTS . PFL Point After: SOLO (LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER Faders) PFL mix (mono). AFL Point Before: PAN . AFL Point After: SOLO (LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER Faders) AFL mix (stereo). SOLO allows you to audition signals through your headphones. You can simultaneously SOLO as many signals as you like. The SR40•8 features nondestructive solo: Engaging SOLO does not interrupt any of the other Channels, buses, or outputs. Not only that, the SOLO system comes in two flavors: PFL (PreFader Listen) and AFL (After-Fader Listen, Solo-In-Place). Remember: INPUTS SOLO has precedence over OUTPUTS SOLO - you can't combine these signals. AIR Point Before: FLIP . Point After: SUB INSERTS . The AIR control is a special form of EQ set into the submix masters, a smooth, broad hill of shiny hyper-treble centered at 16kHz, with gossamer skirts extending as low as 12kHz and wafting as high as 20kHz. When AIR is set at 0, it is effectively out of the signal path and the submix bus has a flat response. But when you need a little more "air" in your sound, just a hint of high treble to add that atmospheric breathiness to your vocalists or that brandnew-string jangle to your guitar, give the AIR knob a twist. We think you'll like it. METERS Point Before: SUB INSERTS (METERING: OUTPUT SECTION PFL/AFL switch up), MUTE , (METERING: OUTPUT SECTION PFL/AFL switch down). Each individual Meter gives you constant visual information about the signal level in the corresponding subgroup. In fact, with the METERING: OUTPUT SECTION PFL/AFL switch set to PFL (up), you can use these Meters for a quick signal check without even engaging SOLO. With that switch down, the Meters will display the post-MUTE/post-Fader/ pre-PAN output of the subgroups. A 0dB reading on the Meters represents a 0dBu balanced output signal, when the METERING: OUTPUT SECTION PFL/AFL switch is engaged (AFL). In other words, 0VU=0dBu at a balanced output, and 0VU=-6dBu at an unbalanced output.
