TALKBACK TO STUDIO button Routes sound arriving at the in-panel Talkback mic to the Studio outputs. Note: Make sure the speakers that are connected to the Studio Outs are located in another room to avoid feedback when the TALKBACK TO STUDIO button is depressed. CLEAR SOLO button Disengages all engaged solo buttons throughout the entire console. This is especially convenient considering sections may be soloed across multiple fader banks. SOLO LEVEL button Assigns the V-Pot in the Studio/Solo section to adjust the solo level being fed to the Control Room outputs. Not applicable to mixdown solo (use L/R fader to adjust mixdown solo level). STUDIO LEVEL button Assigns the V-Pot in the Studio/Solo section to adjust the output level being fed to the Studio monitor system. TALKBACK LEVEL button Assigns the V-Pot in the Studio/Solo section to control the preamp level for the in-panel Talkback Mic. RUDE SOLO LIGHT Blinks whenever a Solo button is engaged. Phones/Cue Mix Section AUX 11-12 Assigns the Aux 11-12 mix to the Phones output. COPY MIX TO CUE button Pressing this causes all channel settings to be copied to the channel V-Pots for the selected CUE MIX 1 (Aux 9-10), CUE MIX 2 (Aux 11-12), or aux pair (Aux 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8). This is a very quick way to copy the MASTER L-R mix, including effects, to the phones output, which can then be easily fine-tuned. CONTROL ROOM button Assigns whatever is selected in the Control Room section to the Phones output. Solos are also routed to the Phones output when Control Room is selected. LEVEL V-Pot Adjusts the Phones output level.
