Aux 1-6 AUX SEND 1-6 The six mono 1/4" TRS aux sends on the rear panel allow you to send balanced or unbalanced line-level outputs to external effects devices or stage monitors, independent of the main mix. Aux sends 1-6 are independent of each other, so you can set up six separate aux mixes. The aux 1 send output signal is the sum of all the channels whose aux 1 send control is set to more than minimum. Similarly, aux 6 send is the sum of all the channels whose aux 6 send control is set to more than minimum. The overall aux output level can be adjusted with the aux send master controls. SOLO This button allows you to solo an individual aux send. If you are using the aux sends to feed your stage monitors, you may use these buttons to check your monitor mix. Beside each switch is an indicating LED to let you easily spot a soloed aux send. The aux send solo is not affected by the solo mode switch (PFL/AFL), except that in PFL mode only the right meter indicates the signal. The aux send's PFL/AFL status is determined by the pre/post switches next to the aux send masters.

Performance will vary based on system hardware.
