LAYOUT AND FUNCTION SOLO ASSIGN OUTPUT SECTION cussed below, allows you to assign submix buses The output section is the large area to the right of within your L/R mix. the input channel strips. It contains the master faders and metering, as well as the send and return masters, cue, monitoring and communication controls. MONO L & R The MONO L & R switch (4) functions ONLY when you have first depressed the L MIX or R MIX. If you've pushed L MIX or R MIX, pushing 8•BUS FADERS MONO L & R will assign the bus to both channels At the bottom of the output panel are the master faders for each of the eight buses (1). Each fader controls the level of its mix, with precise dB markings and a unity gain point marked on the panel. The fader is located in the circuit after the submaster insert jack but before the final line amplifier. There is an Assign section associated with each bus fader, detailed below. Note that no matter what the selection of the assignment switches, the of the Left and Right Mix buses, instead of just the Left, or just the Right. This is also for submixing, but allows you to put your submix in the center rather than on either side. (Those of you with patch cords have probably realized you can patch the bus into a channel and do even more fun things, but we'll talk about that later.) output of each bus is always present at its Submaster/Tape Output jack and is monitored on its own bus meter. SOLO The SOLO button (5) solos the output of the bus fader. When any SOLO button is pressed, the SOLO L MIX and R MIX LED lights. The odd-numbered buses have an L MIX button above their faders (2); the even buses have an R-MIX button (3). Pressing this button assigns the bus to the L or R Mix bus, respectively. This switch, along with the MONO L & R switch dis- This is a pretty trick SOLO, too. If you have not pushed the MONO L & R switch, the SOLO sends the odd-numbered tracks to the left speaker and the even-numbered tracks to the right, whether or not the associated L MIX or R MIX is engaged. But if you have pressed MONO L & R, the SOLO circuit is smart enough to send the bus to both speakers and put the stereo image in the middle.

The fader controls the level of the L/R MIX bus, with precise dB markings and a unity gain point marked on the panel. This fader, like the bus faders, is located in the circuit after the L/R insert jack but before the final line amplifier. 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 40 40 50 50 80 80 OO OO OO OO OO OO OO OO OO OO 10
