Now you can ride the entire drum mix with two faders- subgroups 1 and 2. If you engage just one SUB ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX button per subgroup (LEFT or RIGHT), the signal sent to the MAIN MIX will be the same level as the SUB OUTS. If you want the subgroup to appear in the center of the main mix, engage both the SUB ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX LEFT and RIGHT buttons. The signal will be sent to both sides. 42. MAIN MIX Faders This controls the final level of main mix signals sent to the MAIN [52] outputs, TAPE [49] outputs, CONTROL ROOM [55], PHONES [50], and METERS [27]. So it all comes down to this one control. Typically, the faders will be positioned somewhere between 0 dB (U) and the +5 dB position. All active mono and stereo channels that are not turned down or muted will appear in the main mix (the L-R Assign button [19] must be engaged on the Mix.260FX). Other signals feeding this control include the STEREO AUX and FX RETURNS [46/47], and CD/TAPE IN [49] when TAPE TO MAIN [24] is pushed in. ALT 3 ALT 4 MAIN MIX 43. POWER LED This LED turns on when the mixer's power cord is plugged into an AC outlet and the POWER [57] switch on the rear panel is turned on. 44. PHANTOM 48V LED This LED turns on when the mixer's PHANTOM Power [58] switch on the rear panel is turned on. FRONT PANEL CONNECTORS 45. AUX SEND OUT 1 and 2 Connect these 1/4" TRS outputs to the inputs of an external effects processor or stage monitor amplifier. Each channel strip has an AUX SEND 1 MON [11] and AUX SEND 2 FX [13] control knob that adjusts how much of that channel's signal appears at each of these outputs. The output from these jacks is the sum of all those active channels that have their AUX SEND knobs set to more than the minimum position.
